Why are sales missing from my Lightspeed Retail sales history?
The Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: A connection problem during checkout can leave a sale that has a receipt but never reaches your sales history.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads your sales closed and your revenue from Lightspeed Retail each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It tells you when sales closed go quiet or either number moves outside its usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Lightspeed Retail (X-Series), which feeds Wins. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Lightspeed Retail (X-Series).
