Lestari Importer for Woo with Shopee

Lestari Importer turns Shopee listings into reviewable WooCommerce drafts. The companion browser extension reads the Shopee product page the merchant is already looking at and sends the data, over a signed REST request, to a staging area inside the WordPress admin. Nothing is published automatically — every title, price, stock count, description, and image lands in staging first, ready for the merchant to edit, approve, or discard.
One paired site. One pairing code. One staging queue. No accounts to create, no third-party SaaS sitting in the middle of the data flow.
What Lestari Importer does
- Paired browser-extension intake — the extension you install in your browser is the only thing that sends product data to your site; the WordPress plugin never reaches out to Shopee servers itself.
- HMAC-SHA256 signed REST endpoint — every receive call is authenticated with a per-site token established at pairing time and bound to the originating extension identifier.
- Review-first staging area — incoming products are queued for human review with editable title, price, stock, description, categories, tags, gallery, and per-row variation matrix.
- Image sideloading with deduplication — product images are downloaded into the WordPress media library, deduplicated by source URL and SHA-256 hash so re-imports do not flood your library.
- Duplicate handling — choose to skip, update, or create a new copy when the importer sees a product it has imported before; detection works on a stable source-id postmeta key.
- HPOS-compatible — the plugin reads and writes only its own staging tables plus WooCommerce’s standard WC_Product CRUD; it never touches WooCommerce orders, so it declares full High-Performance Order Storage compatibility.
- Report-a-Bug from the admin — an optional, opt-in modal lets you send a focused bug report to the plugin author (only when you click Send; never in the background). See Privacy & External Services below for the exact data sent.
Free vs Pro
The free plugin you are installing is the complete day-to-day importer. Lestari Importer Pro is an optional paid add-on, sold separately at the link below; it is not bundled here and the free plugin does not depend on it.
