How we move Lightspeed to Shopify
Lightspeed audit & export
Inventory of products, variants, categories, customers, orders, apps and integrations in your Lightspeed shop (C-Series or E-Series), plus an SEO baseline crawl of every URL.
Data mapping & redirects
Export from Lightspeed, mapping to Shopify objects and a 301 redirect per Lightspeed URL, including .html paths, category pages and old promo pages from Search Console.
Theme build & app replacement
Custom Shopify theme with a Shopify equivalent for every Lightspeed app: payments, shipping, reviews, feeds. Decided per app up front: native, app or custom work.
POS, accounting & fulfilment
Accounting, fulfilment and marketplaces reconnected. Store and webshop together on Shopify POS, or Lightspeed Retail synced with Shopify through an integration.
Phased launch & monitoring
Test import, freeze window on product data, final data sync, DNS switch and redirect activation in one moment. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 90 days of GSC monitoring.
A Lightspeed shop has its own data structure, its own URLs and its own app landscape. We translate every part to its Shopify equivalent, so the switch is invisible to your customers and an improvement for your team.
- 01
Export from Lightspeed, C-Series and E-Series
C-Series (formerly SEOshop) and E-Series have different export routes and data structures. We have our own mapping for both, so variants, categories and customer accounts end up correctly in Shopify.
- 02
Products and variants without simplification
Shopify supports up to 2,048 variants per product. That lets us migrate complex Lightspeed catalogues with many options without simplifying your product structure, complemented by metafields for rich product data.
- 03
Lightspeed URLs redirected one to one
Lightspeed uses its own URL structure, often with .html endings and category paths. Per URL we create a 301 redirect to the new Shopify URL, including old promo pages and URLs from Google Search Console.
- 04
Customers and order history come along
Customer accounts, customer groups and the complete order history are exported and imported into Shopify, with the link between customer and order intact. We bring discount codes, reviews and blog articles if you have them.
- 05
A Shopify equivalent for every Lightspeed app
Mollie, Sendcloud, Picqer, Exact Online, Channable, Klaviyo and bol.com all have proven integrations on Shopify. Per app we decide up front: replace with a Shopify feature, with an app, or rebuild as custom work.
- 06
Store and webshop in one system
Using Lightspeed Retail as your POS? Then we bring store and webshop together on Shopify POS, or we sync Lightspeed Retail with Shopify through an integration. We choose the route based on your number of stores and inventory process.
- 07
Cutover without downtime
The new shop is built and tested entirely alongside the existing one. Freeze window, final data sync, DNS switch and redirects are switched in one moment. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 90 days of GSC monitoring.

Frequently asked questions about switching from Lightspeed to Shopify
Lightspeed eCom was a logical choice for Dutch webshops for years, but its development lags behind Shopify. Shopify delivers a faster checkout, a much broader app ecosystem, built-in internationalisation through Markets and up to 2,048 variants per product. Shops that want to grow hit the limits sooner on Lightspeed than on Shopify.
First an audit of your Lightspeed shop: products, variants, categories, customers, orders, apps and integrations. Then we map all data and URLs to Shopify, build the theme, transfer integrations and run a test import. The cutover is phased with a freeze window and a DNS switch in one moment.
Lightspeed uses its own URL structure, often with .html endings and category paths. We map every URL to its new Shopify URL and turn that into 301 redirects, including old promo pages and URLs from Google Search Console. Meta titles, descriptions and canonicals come along. That is how your rankings are preserved.
Yes. Orders, customer accounts and customer groups are exported and imported into Shopify, with order data and customer links intact. We also bring discount codes, reviews and blog articles if you have them. A test import shows you up front how everything lands.
A Lightspeed to Shopify migration starts at 15,000 euros for a premium theme build with data migration and redirects. Custom work starts at 25,000 euros, a migration to Shopify Plus at 35,000 euros. Fixed price up front, no open ends.
An average Lightspeed migration takes 6 to 10 weeks, from audit to go-live. Larger shops with multiple languages, B2B or ERP integrations take 10 to 14 weeks. You get a week-by-week schedule up front.
Two routes: bring store and webshop together on Shopify with Shopify POS, so inventory, customers and orders run in one system, or keep Lightspeed Retail and sync it with Shopify through an integration. We advise the route based on your number of stores, inventory process and POS contract.
Almost always. Mollie, Sendcloud, Picqer, Exact Online, Channable, Klaviyo and bol.com all have proven integrations on Shopify. Per app we decide up front: replace with a Shopify feature, replace with an app, or rebuild as custom work.
Not for the result, but it does for the approach. C-Series (formerly SEOshop) and E-Series have different export routes and data structures. We have our own mapping for both, so variants, categories and customer accounts end up correctly in Shopify.
