Loyverse to WooCommerce Integration

[DaveHerbert]

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a WordPress plugin that seamlessly syncs categories, products, images, and inventory from your Loyverse POS to WooCommerce. The plugin is simple to install and easy to use—just enter your Loyverse access token and click Start Sync!

Key Features

Real-Time Sync with Webhooks

After the initial sync, the plugin’s webhooks ensure your WooCommerce store stays up-to-date automatically.

Product Updates: When you create or update a product in Loyverse, the product webhook instantly updates your WooCommerce store with the changes.

Inventory Updates: Any sale, refund, or stock adjustment in Loyverse POS or Back Office is instantly reflected in WooCommerce, keeping your inventory accurate in near real time.

Soft Deletes: If you delete a product in Loyverse, it’s moved to the bin (soft deleted) in WooCommerce, so it doesn’t appear on your store but can be recovered if needed.

Product Availability: Unchecking the "The item is available for sale" option in the Loyverse product edit screen will hide the product from public view on WooCommerce.

Smart Tags

Smart tags are special snippets you can add to product descriptions in Loyverse to control how specific product details sync with WooCommerce.

[SKIPSYNC]: Prevents the product from syncing to WooCommerce entirely.

[SKIPIMAGE], [SKIPTITLE], [SKIPPRICE], [SKIPDESCRIPTION]: Allows you to exclude specific details (like images or pricing) from being synced.

More smart tags, offering even finer control, are planned for future updates.

These tags give you flexibility to customize what gets synced and how your WooCommerce store displays your products.

Current Status

The plugin is still in its early stages (Beta), so there may be a few bugs. However, it is actively developed, with regular updates to fix issues and add improvements. Despite being a work in progress, it’s already performing well on several WooCommerce stores.

If you’re interested, give it a try and share your feedback—it would mean a lot and help make the plugin even better!

 

We have decided to make the first version freely  available from the Wordpress plugin directory. I'll post a link here once it's been accepted.

The free version will be unrestricted and will perform as described above. There will also be an upgrade option within the plugin that will be fairly priced that will give you access to free updates, more great features and one to one support.

That is great! Thank you.

It’s taking a little time for my WordPress registration to be authorized, but rest assured, I’ll upload the plugin as soon as possible! Meanwhile, I’ve been busy adding some exciting new features to the free version.

After the initial sync, you’ll be able to assign your Loyverse products to multiple WooCommerce categories—directly from the Loyverse Back Office! There’s no need to visit your WooCommerce admin panel. Simply select additional categories from the dropdown menu in either the product list view or the product edit screen in Loyverse. Once you’ve added all the desired categories, just re-select the original category the product belonged to in Loyverse.

Another feature I’ve added is the ability to create a new WooCommerce product for each variant you’ve set up in Loyverse. However, I understand that you might not want this behavior in every case. To prevent WooCommerce from creating a separate product for each variant, simply add [SKIPSYNC] to the product description in Loyverse.

For those who find this feature useful, you can further customize it with smart tags:

Use [SKIPIMAGE] to assign unique images to each variant in WooCommerce.

Use [SKIPPRICE] to manage variant-specific prices in WooCommerce.

Use [SKIPDESCRIPTION] to set unique descriptions for each variant.

These tags give you full control over how your variants sync to WooCommerce.

And more to come Stay tuned....

Hi Guy's

My apologies for the delay in releasing the plugin. Unfortunately, our household was hit with COVID in early December last year, and recovery has been a slow process for us.

The good news is that I’m back to working on the plugin and have made significant improvements. Right now, I’m focusing on removing debugging code to optimize the speed and performance. My priority so far has been ensuring accuracy over speed and aesthetics, but I’m excited about the progress being made.

Thank you for your patience—I’m confident it will be worth the wait! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Dave

Can somebody clarify if creating and using access tokens are free to use or is the Integrations subscription required? I ask this question because I just signed up for a new account. I then clicked Integrations / Access Tokens and to my surprise It let me create one without creating a subscription to Integrations as I have with me main account.

I then entered the access token into the settings of my WordPress / woocomerce plugin that I am developing.  I then created a new test category and product in Loyverse back office, and again to my surprise the product was created on my woocomerce test site.

When I go to settings / billing & Subscriptions, there is no mention of the Integrations subscription as there is in my main account.

Have I wrongly assumed that I needed the Integrations subscription to use Loyverse Access Tokens to access the api or has that been free all along.

I just got clarification from AKIO In the loyverse chat, and his answer is a game changer of new Loyverse users In my opinion.  AKIO  says:

Thank you

Let me clarify that the feature to create and use the API is part of the Integration add-on but now for the new users of Loyverse POS, this option is included as a free feature. To use this feature in your new account, there is no need to subscribe to any add-on in Loyverse POS.

@DaveHerbert Thank you for following up on this!!  I can verify that, at least on my account, creating an API is free, and no mention or notion of a charge for it.

Is the WooCom plug-in going to be made available to use?

[DaveHerbert]

Hi ColoradoBound, Thanks for verification that the loyverse api is free to use in your account.

Yes, the free version of LoyCart Sync will soon be available for download at loycart.com for anyone who wants to try it out. We encourage users to explore its features and functionality to see how it can benefit them. In return, we kindly ask those who download the free version to share their feedback with us. We will have a space on the website where people will be able to leave their thoughts.

Your input will be invaluable in helping us refine the product, address any bugs or issues, and guide future development. By providing your insights, you'll play a vital role in improving Loycart Sync and ensuring it meets the needs of its users effectively. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Quick update. We’ve been hard at work adding even more powerful new features based on feedback from our beta testers, including automatic customer integration, seamless syncing of Loyverse customers to woocommerce along with their loyalty points which are converted to WooCommerce coupons, and enhanced Smart Tags for even greater flexibility. These improvements ensure the plugin will not only save time but also provide a truly seamless experience between Loyverse and WooCommerce.

We're currently in the final stages of development and testing, making sure everything runs smoothly before the official release. While I don’t have a confirmed launch date just yet, I can say that we’re getting very close!
