Publishing to Webflow
When you click Publish [locale] to Webflow, StoreLingo executes our Strategy A write-back:
- For each source product on the site, we check whether a per-locale duplicate already exists (tracked via
webflow_locale_product_idin our DB). - If yes, we update that duplicate with the latest translated
name,description,summary. - If no, we create a new duplicate Webflow product with a locale-prefixed slug (e.g.,
nl-ceramic-mug) and link it. - After every product is processed, we trigger a Webflow site publish.
Why duplicates and not the Webflow Localization API?
Webflow's native Localization does not currently cover Ecommerce products. Duplicate-product write-back is the only clean, SEO-friendly way to deliver translated product pages today. When Webflow opens native Ecommerce localization, StoreLingo will offer a one-click migration to the native model.
What gets duplicated
- Product
name,description,summary - Locale-prefixed slug
- SKU variants (see SKU translation)
What is NOT yet duplicated
- Product images
- Categories
- Custom fields beyond the three above (configurable in a future release)
Plan count impact
Each duplicate product counts against your Webflow site's product limit. Plan accordingly.
