Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) Source Data Export
Section titled “Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) Source Data Export”Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) uses File Upload as its Source connection method. Export the Product file from Stock Items and keep the exported structure intact for upload. If the edition is not yet confirmed, use the Lightspeed Overview to compare all supported Lightspeed editions before continuing.
Supported Files
Section titled “Supported Files”The standard Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) File Upload setup uses this Source file:
| Entity | Expected filename |
|---|---|
| Product | products.csv |
Export the source data
Section titled “Export the source data”- Sign in to the Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) account used for the migration.
- Open Reports > Stock Items.
- Click Export Stock Items.
- Allow the export to finish, then open Export Center and download the CSV file.
- Keep the exported columns and row structure unchanged. Prepare the upload file as
products.csvso it matches the Supported Files name.
Verify the export
Section titled “Verify the export”Confirm that:
- the CSV belongs to the intended Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) store;
- the file contains the Product records required by the migration scope;
- the exported columns and row structure remain unchanged; and
- the upload file uses the expected filename
products.csv.
If the export is incomplete
