Frequently asked questions

How can I stop the syncing process?
You can stop it easily. Go to settings > Integrations > WooCommerce and uncheck the sync status checkbox. Remember to save your settings.
How are products linked?
Telesto will find matching SKUs between your products in Telesto and WooCommerce. This connection is important for proper order imports too.
What types of orders are imported?
WooCommerce orders with "processing" status are going to be imported into Telesto.
What happens when I change an order status in Telesto?
The system will automatically update the new status to WooCommerce immediately.
Can WooCommerce Handle Inventory?
Yes, WooCommerce includes basic inventory management, but it has limits. Larger stores usually outgrow it.

  • One stock pool: WooCommerce treats your inventory as a single pool by default, so tracking stock across warehouses or shops means working around it.
  • Manual updates: Stock levels largely have to be updated by hand as inventory arrives and orders go out. That takes time and invites mistakes, which cost you sales.
  • Basic reporting: WooCommerce's reports may not go far enough if you need to track sales in detail, spot trends, or compare periods.
  • No stock history: WooCommerce stores the current stock number, not how it got there. Without a movement log there is no way to trace an error or plan from past demand.
