Export the Product CSV required for a Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) File Upload migration and verify the file before upload.

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.

The standard Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) File Upload setup uses this Source file:

EntityExpected filename
Productproducts.csv
  1. Sign in to the Lightspeed Retail (S-Series) account used for the migration.
  2. Open Reports > Stock Items.
  3. Click Export Stock Items.
  4. Allow the export to finish, then open Export Center and download the CSV file.
  5. Keep the exported columns and row structure unchanged. Prepare the upload file as products.csv so it matches the Supported Files name.

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.

Re-export the Product file after checking the selected store and Stock Items data. Do not reconstruct missing columns or substitute another file format manually. If the required Product data still cannot be produced, use Support Tickets before continuing. Additional data types require an approved Custom Service scope.

Continue with Upload Source Data Files to prepare and validate products.csv for the Source connection. In Connect Stores, the S-Series Source setup also requires the Store URL for the intended store.
