Lemonsoft and WooCommerce: how does the integration work in practice?
- Lemonsoft is the source of product data, prices and stock, and the online store sends orders back to Lemonsoft.
- Customer-specific prices and discount groups come to the online store directly from Lemonsoft.
- A successful integration starts with field-level mapping, not with code.
A Lemonsoft integration turns your online store into an extension of your ERP. Products, prices and stock levels update in the store automatically, and orders move to Lemonsoft without manual work. We have built Lemonsoft integrations for WooCommerce stores for years, and this article explains how they work in practice.
What data moves and in which direction?
- Products: items, product groups and basic data from Lemonsoft. Marketing texts and images are often maintained in the online store.
- Prices: sales prices, customer-specific price lists and discount groups.
- Stock: stock levels from one or more warehouses.
- Customers: business customer details and invoicing accounts.
- Orders: web orders to Lemonsoft as sales orders.
- Deliveries: status and tracking code updated back to the customer.
How often is the data updated?
Not everything needs to move in real time. Orders are transferred immediately, stock frequently and product data less often. The rhythm is agreed based on how quickly the information changes and what incorrect information costs.
| Data | Typical rhythm | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Orders | Immediately | Picking and delivery start without delay |
| Stock | Several times an hour | Products that have run out are not sold |
| Prices | Daily or on change | Prices change rarely |
| Product data | Daily | New items and changes |
How an integration project proceeds
In the mapping phase we go through which Lemonsoft fields correspond to which online store data, how exceptions are handled and who owns which data. For example: what happens if a product is removed from Lemonsoft while it is in someone’s cart?
