Import Shopee catalog data into your WooCommerce store via a paired browser extension — staged review, image sideloading, duplicate control.

Markas Studio

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>What Lestari Importer does</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Paired browser-extension intake</strong> — 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.</li>
<li><strong>HMAC-SHA256 signed REST endpoint</strong> — every receive call is authenticated with a per-site token established at pairing time and bound to the originating extension identifier.</li>
<li><strong>Review-first staging area</strong> — incoming products are queued for human review with editable title, price, stock, description, categories, tags, gallery, and per-row variation matrix.</li>
<li><strong>Image sideloading with deduplication</strong> — 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.</li>
<li><strong>Duplicate handling</strong> — 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.</li>
<li><strong>HPOS-compatible</strong> — the plugin reads and writes only its own staging tables plus WooCommerce’s standard <code>WC_Product</code> CRUD; it never touches WooCommerce orders, so it declares full High-Performance Order Storage compatibility.</li>
<li><strong>Report-a-Bug from the admin</strong> — 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 <em>Privacy & External Services</em> below for the exact data sent.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free vs Pro</h4>
<p>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 <strong>not</strong> bundled here and the free plugin does not depend on it.</p>
<p><strong>Free — the everyday import workflow</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Receive products from the paired browser extension via the signed REST endpoint</li>
<li>Staging-area review with editable title, price, stock, description, categories, tags, and gallery</li>
<li>Image sideloading with URL and SHA-256 deduplication</li>
<li>Duplicate handling: skip, update, or create a new copy</li>
<li>HPOS-compatible WooCommerce product creation</li>
<li>Report-a-Bug modal with opt-out diagnostics and a local 50-row bounded log</li>
<li>Clean uninstall, with an explicit “Keep my data” opt-in</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Pro — everything in Free, plus:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Variable Products</strong> — explicit Variable import intent always creates a <code>WC_Product_Variable</code> parent and rebuilds the attribute/variation matrix, even when the scraper returned an empty variant list</li>
<li><strong>Per-product markup</strong> — apply a percentage or flat-amount markup to the imported regular price, with live final-price preview in the staging editor and per-variant override</li>
<li><strong>Bulk-select import from a shop page</strong> — pick multiple products at once from a Shopee shop URL via the extension’s selection mode</li>
<li><strong>Priority email support</strong> — direct support channel for Pro licence holders</li>
</ul>

<h4>About Shopee</h4>
<p>Lestari Importer is <strong>not</strong> affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Shopee, Sea Group, or any of their subsidiaries. “Shopee” is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe the type of source data the companion browser extension reads from the page the merchant is currently viewing.</p>
<h3>Privacy & External Services</h3>
<p>Lestari Importer is built around an <strong>inbound</strong> data flow: the companion browser extension, running in the merchant’s own browser, posts product data to a REST endpoint on your WordPress site. Your site is the receiver. The plugin does <strong>not</strong> initiate outbound HTTP requests during normal import operation — no telemetry, no analytics, no automatic check-ins.</p>
<p>The only outbound HTTP request the plugin ever makes is the optional <strong>Report a Bug</strong> submission, and only when an administrator types into the modal and clicks Send.</p>
<h4>Data sent only when a bug report is submitted</h4>
<ul>
<li>The Subject and Message you type, verbatim.</li>
<li>An optional reply-to email address — only if you fill it in; left blank, the submission is anonymous.</li>
<li>Up to three image attachments (drag-drop, file picker, or paste-from-clipboard). Images are auto-resized client-side to a 1920px longest edge with progressive JPEG quality steps so screenshots fit within the wire budget.</li>
<li>Optional diagnostics — opt-out, shown to you before sending: plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version, MySQL version, WooCommerce version (if active), active theme name and version, locale, multisite flag, and PHP <code>memory_limit</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Never auto-collected</strong>: site URL, administrator email, license keys, pairing tokens, user lists, active-plugin lists, or any WooCommerce order / customer / product data.</li>
</ul>
<p>A local copy of every submission is written to a bounded log (the <code>lestari_importer_feedback_log</code> option, capped at the 50 most recent entries, FIFO-rotated). The local log stores per-attachment metadata only (filename, MIME, byte size) — never the image binary.</p>
<h4>External service used</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Service:</strong> <a href="https://projects.markas.cloud/wp-json/markas/v1/plugin-bug" rel="nofollow ugc">Markas Studio bug-report receiver</a></li>
<li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Deliver administrator-submitted bug reports to the plugin author’s private triage dashboard for support investigation. Data is sent only after you click Send — never automatically and never on any other admin screen.</li>
<li><strong>What is sent:</strong> Exactly the payload described in the section above and shown to you under “See what will be sent” before the Send button enables.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://studio.markashosting.com/plugins/lestari/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a></strong> · <strong><a href="https://studio.markashosting.com/plugins/lestari/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<h4>Companion browser extension</h4>
<p>The companion extension reads the Shopee product page that the merchant is viewing in their browser and sends the extracted product data to <em>your</em> WordPress site’s own <code>/wp-json/lestari/v1/receive</code> endpoint, signed with the pairing token. This is an inbound request to your site; the WordPress plugin does not contact Shopee servers itself. The extension is documented and downloaded from the plugin author’s site: <a href="https://studio.markashosting.com/plugins/lestari/extension/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://studio.markashosting.com/plugins/lestari/extension/</a>.</p>
<h4>Data the plugin stores on your site</h4>
<ul>
<li>The staging area’s product rows (<code>wp_lestari_importer_staging</code>, <code>wp_lestari_importer_staging_items</code>).</li>
<li>Plugin settings (<code>lestari_importer_settings</code>, <code>lestari_importer_secret</code>, <code>lestari_importer_site_tokens</code>, <code>lestari_importer_pairing_pending</code>, <code>lestari_importer_keep_data_on_uninstall</code>).</li>
<li>Postmeta on each imported WooCommerce product, keyed by <code>_lestari_importer_source_id</code> (so duplicate detection works on re-import).</li>
<li>The Report-a-Bug bounded local log (<code>lestari_importer_feedback_log</code>, capped at 50 rows). Attachment binaries are not included.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data on uninstall</h4>
<p>When you delete the plugin, all of the items above are removed unless you have enabled <em>Keep data on uninstall</em> in the Settings tab before uninstalling.</p>
<h3>Developer reference</h3>
<p>The plugin exposes filters and actions so add-ons can extend its behaviour without modifying core files:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>lestari/default_settings</code> (filter) — extend the default settings array on first install.</li>
<li><code>lestari/admin/tabs</code> (filter) — register additional admin tabs.</li>
<li><code>lestari/admin/render_tab</code> (filter) — render the body of a custom tab.</li>
<li><code>lestari/admin/settings_tab_extra</code> (action) — append rows to the Settings tab.</li>
<li><code>lestari/license/is_pro</code> (filter) — compatibility-only Pro status display hook; built-in 1.5.9 feature gates use the direct Pro licence accessor.</li>
<li><code>lestari/booted</code> (action) — fires after the plugin has finished booting.</li>
</ul>
