POS Migration

Ready to Switchto Shopify POS?

Professional migration from your current POS to Shopify. We handle data migration, staff retraining, and cutover support—so you switch without losing a beat.

Is This You?

You're using Vend, Lightspeed, Square, or another POS system. It works, but you're hitting limitations. Maybe the fees are climbing, the support is lacking, or you want to unify your online and in-store sales.

The thought of migration is daunting—years of product data, customer information, staff who know the old system. You need someone who's done this before and can get you across without data loss or extended downtime.

This service is ideal for:

Retailers switching from another POS to Shopify
Businesses leaving Vend, Lightspeed, or Square
Stores frustrated with current system limitations
Multi-location retailers consolidating onto one platform
Retailers wanting to unify online and in-store sales

A complete migration package covering data, systems, training, and support. Fixed price after discovery.

Products, variants, images, customers, and inventory counts transferred accurately. Field mapping and data validation included.

System Configuration

Shopify POS configured to match your workflows. Tax rules, location settings, staff permissions, and receipt customisation.

Hardware Assessment

Evaluation of your existing hardware. What works with Shopify, what needs replacing, and what new equipment might help.

Staff Retraining

Training sessions covering the new system. Your staff already know retail—we teach them the Shopify way of doing things.

Parallel Running

Option to run both systems side-by-side during transition. Reduces risk and gives staff time to adjust.

Cutover Support

Coordinated go-live with on-call support. We stay available through your first trading period on the new system.

Systems We Migrate From

Experience with these common retail POS systems—and others.

Vend (Lightspeed Retail)

Common migration. Products, customers, and inventory export cleanly. Outlet data requires mapping to Shopify locations.

Lightspeed POS

Similar to Vend migration. Matrix products and customer data transfer well. Serial number tracking needs consideration.

Square

Straightforward for small catalogues. Larger businesses benefit from discovery to map category structures and modifier handling.

Retail Express

Often requires discovery due to complex product structures. Loyalty programs may need alternative solutions in Shopify.

MYOB Retail Manager

Legacy system migration. Data export formats vary. Usually requires data cleanup and restructuring during migration.

Other POS Systems

If your system exports to CSV or has an API, we can likely migrate it. Discovery helps us understand the specific requirements.

Replacing Your Website As Well?

Some retailers move their whole operation at once. If you are running separate systems online and in store, we migrate both onto Shopify together so the data lands unified rather than being stitched back up afterwards.

This is you if
  • You run separate systems for online and retail
  • You are on something like Vend + WooCommerce, or Square + BigCommerce
  • You are consolidating after an acquisition or merger
  • You are tired of syncing inventory between two systems
What consolidating gets you
  • End system fragmentation. One admin, one login, one place to manage the business.
  • True unified inventory. No sync failures between platforms—inventory is just inventory.
  • A single customer view. Retail buyers and online shoppers are the same people, in one profile.
  • Simplified operations. Train staff on one system and report from one dashboard.

Building both channels new rather than replacing them? That is a setup project, not a migration.
