Before you begin

You would need:

 

  • Insights enabled with a Lite plan or above
  • ‘View Insights’ permissions (at the minimum) in Back Office
  • Your mobile device running on at least Android 8 or iOS 11

 


 

 

 

Install Insights + Sign In

1. Download the Lightspeed Insights Live app from the App Store or Google Play.

2. Once you have the app installed, sign in using the same email and password you use when logging in to Lightspeed Back Office.

If you have POS data for the chosen time range, it will show here on the Dashboard tab, the app’s homepage.

Note - If you are using the 1D (1 day) time range filter and you’re opening the app before you’ve made sales for the day, you are likely to see zeroes. This is because the data resets after Midnight for the 1D time range filter. As for businesses that trade past midnight, fear not! We have a feature coming up where you can enter your trading times and the live data report will adjust accordingly. Stay tuned for this and more upcoming features!

 

And that’s it. It’s really that easy.
