Tips when adding products

  • Complete product details before tagging - Ensure the product information is complete before tagging a Lightspeed product to be added to Shopify. Missing details can be manually added products directly on Shopify (Connect plan) or updated automatically from Lightspeed (Grow or Scale plans).

  • Apply the "Add" tag - Products must be active(not archived) and tagged with the action tag "add".

  • Draft status - All products are created in Draft status by default, turning off the "Create Products in Drafts Status" setting will create products in Active status. Just go to Apps > Shopify > Products & Variants.
