Lightspeed

Move your data from Lightspeed. Lightspeed sells two different restaurant systems, and each exports different files, so check which one you have first:

• L-Series (Lightspeed Restaurant): menu, staff and sales history.
• K-Series: menu and customers.

Open the importer at Configuration → Import data, choose what to import, then Lightspeed, then the series. For how the preview, existing records and rolling back work, see Import data.

L-Series (Lightspeed Restaurant)

All three come from Lightspeed Restaurant (L-Series) back office → Export data:

• Menu: choose the Products file.
• Employees: choose the Users file. Accounts of type Customer or API are not staff and are skipped. No PIN is set: each person chooses their own at a terminal.
• Sales history: choose a date range and export Receipts, Receipt Items and Payments, then upload all three. Choose the location the sales belong to; times are read as that restaurant's local time.

K-Series

• Menu: K-Series Back Office → Menu → Item list → Export. Choose the Lightspeed formatted file (CSV for PC, or XLSX).
• Customers: K-Series Back Office → Customers → Customer list → Export (CSV for PC). Each customer is matched by email, then phone number.

Partial means Lightspeed documents the file but not every column; Unverified means it publishes no column list. Look over the matched columns on the Match step before you import.

Good to know

• Imported orders keep Lightspeed's receipt number with the prefix LSP-. Importing the same dates again skips them.
• Sales history is a record only: no kitchen tickets, stock movements, webhooks or emails.
• Need something the presets do not cover (K-Series staff, for example)? Use Spreadsheets & other systems.
