Connection successful.

I imported only specific products from lightspeed

For some reason shopify is importing old orders from the other retail outlets.

How do I stop this?

Also, a woocommerce store is connected to the same lightspeed register.

(this is temporary - once I can confirm that shopify and lightspeed are working together nicely (sales and inventory updates) - we will remove the woocommerce source.
