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.
