A migration should fix the structure—not copy the mess.
Retail systems organize products, variants, locations, customers, and orders differently. A quick CSV import can move rows while leaving the new store harder to manage.
Inventory operations
Plan locations, on-hand quantities, pickup, shipping, receiving, and the system that will own inventory after launch.
Customers and history
Clean duplicate records, confirm consent fields, and scope the customer and historical order data your source system can provide.
Search equity
Carry forward useful content and map old product, category, and page URLs before the domain points to Shopify.
Source-Platform Expertise
Built for the systems specialty retailers are ready to leave.
We begin with the exact edition, exports, integrations, and operational constraints of your current platform. The destination may be Shopify, but the plan starts with the system you use today.
Primary migration path
Lightspeed Retail X-Series or R-Series to Shopify
We audit the catalog, variants, customer records, inventory locations, sales-history requirements, existing ecommerce connection, and integrations before deciding how each record should move.
- Lightspeed X-Series, formerly Vend
- Lightspeed Retail R-Series
- Lightspeed ecommerce and Shopify integration review
- Products, customers, inventory, orders, and redirect planning
Primary migration path
Heartland Retail / Global Payments to Shopify
We map Heartland's item grids, variants, locations, customers, inventory, and connected ecommerce workflow into a Shopify structure designed for online and in-store retail.
- Heartland Retail platform evaluation
- Global Payments naming and account transition considered
- Item grids, barcodes, locations, and customer records
- Integration, data-access, and cutover planning
Moving from another system?
We also assess migrations from WooCommerce, Wix, GoDaddy, Square, Clover, BigCommerce, legacy ecommerce platforms, custom databases, and other major retail POS systems.

Schedule final data work, connect the domain, monitor the launch, resolve priority issues, and hand your team a documented operating foundation.
SEO + GEO Migration Protection
Protect the demand your store has already earned.
A new platform changes URLs, templates, navigation, product relationships, structured data, and sometimes the words search engines use to understand the business. We plan for that before launch.
Identify important products, collections, content, backlinks, and landing pages before anything changes.
Map high-value legacy URLs to the closest relevant Shopify destination instead of sending every old page to the homepage.
Preserve useful titles, descriptions, headings, copy, internal links, and product information while improving thin content where needed.
Set a clean collection structure, local business signals, product information, and structured data that support Google and AI answer engines.
Verify analytics, ecommerce events, Search Console, sitemap access, indexing signals, and priority redirects after cutover.
Migration Scope
What can move to Shopify?
The final scope depends on your source exports, API access, Shopify requirements, catalog quality, and how much history the business needs to retain.
Titles, descriptions, SKUs, UPCs, prices, costs, options, images, vendors, categories, collections, tags, and selected custom fields.
Names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, tags, notes, and eligible marketing consent fields when available.
Location structure, on-hand inventory, allocation approach, and the timing of the final inventory count or sync.
Selected historical order records where accessible and useful. Availability and fidelity vary by source platform and migration method.
Useful page copy, blog content, policies, images, menus, and merchandising structure that should survive the move.
Priority URL inventory, redirect map, relevant metadata, internal links, analytics configuration, and post-launch crawl checks.

Migration FAQ
Questions retailers ask before changing systems.
Can you migrate Lightspeed Retail X-Series or R-Series to Shopify?
Yes. We plan and execute migrations from both Lightspeed Retail X-Series and R-Series. The exact approach depends on your catalog structure, locations, available exports, integrations, and the records you need to retain.
Can you migrate Heartland Retail or Global Payments retail data to Shopify?
Yes. We can assess and migrate supported product, customer, inventory, and commerce data from Heartland Retail, now part of the Global Payments brand. We confirm available records and transfer methods during discovery.
What retail data can be moved to Shopify?
A typical project can include products, variants, SKUs, barcodes, images, collections, customer records, inventory, content, and selected order history. Exact coverage depends on source-system access and Shopify import requirements.
How do you protect SEO during a Shopify migration?
We inventory important URLs, map them to the new Shopify structure, implement redirects, carry forward useful metadata and content, preserve internal links where practical, and check crawl and analytics signals after launch.
Will my current store stay open during the migration?
In most projects, we build and test the new Shopify environment in parallel while the current store continues operating. Final sync and cutover timing are planned around your source platform, inventory workflow, and business schedule.
