LS Central / LS Retail

This is the route

  1. Photopilot calls the LS Central web services.
  2. Items, images, and inventory are imported in each replication run.
  3. Each run requests only what has changed since the previous run.
  4. Images and texts are added to those LS items; publishing is handled through your webshop or FTP.

LS Central / LS Retail at a glance

What is exchanged
Photopilot uses the LS Central replication features—the same ones LS uses for online stores—to read items with variants and barcodes, item images, and inventory. Nothing is sent back to LS Central.
How often
Every two hours by default. Each run uses the LS replication counter to request changes only. A shorter schedule is possible.
What you provide
The URL of your LS Central web services and a user with basic authentication who is allowed to call the replication functions.
Good to know
We set up the integration on your test environment first, or with a subset of items, and only then add it to the regular schedule.

How to start

First the trial route, then the technique

The integration is the starting point. After that, Photopilot keeps linking, editing, writing, checking, and publishing together.
