What data should I expect to see immediately after connecting a new account?
Learn what data appears first after connecting a marketplace and why some reports take longer to populate.
After connecting a marketplace account to MerchantSpring, data will begin appearing in stages rather than all at once. This is because different datasets are retrieved and processed separately.
In most cases, sales and order data appear first, followed by more complex datasets such as financial data, advertising metrics, and profitability calculations.
What Appears First
Typically:
- Orders and sales data → first
- Product catalog → shortly after
- Advertising data → delayed
- Financial data → delayed further
Why This Happens
Different Data Sources
Each dataset comes from a different API endpoint with different refresh speeds.
Processing Requirements
Some data (especially profitability) requires combining multiple datasets.
Marketplace Delays
Platforms like Amazon delay certain datasets such as:
-
traffic & conversion
-
financial events
-
advertising attribution
Notes
- Initial data may appear incomplete
- Reports will stabilise over time
- Full accuracy is typically reached after all datasets sync
