If your SourceMedium dashboard isn’t showing data yet, or you’re waiting longer than expected, here’s what’s likely happening.

​
The short answer

Data volume determines ingestion time. The more historical data your store has, the longer full ingestion takes. Your SourceMedium contact can give you a specific estimate based on your data volume.

​
What affects ingestion time?

The main factors are:
  • Order count: The primary driver. More orders = more data to process.
  • Line items per order: Stores with high average cart sizes have more data per order.
  • Customer count: A large customer database adds to total data volume.
  • Historical depth: 10 years of data takes longer than 2 years.

​
What can I do?

​
Check with your SourceMedium contact

They can give you a status update and estimated completion time.

​
Consider a phased approach

If you have a specific go-live deadline and your data volume is very high, we can discuss starting with recent data (e.g., last 1-2 years) while full history loads in the background.
Trade-off: Starting with partial history means LTV calculations will only reflect the loaded period. A customer who first purchased 5 years ago would appear as a “new” customer if we only loaded 2 years. Once full history loads, everything updates automatically.
