A retail data migration
Lightspeed Retail X Series→Shopify POS
Moving from Lightspeed Retail X Series to Shopify POS starts with a sample review of variant options, outlets, customer records, and separate balance exports. The plan must show how those records will fit Shopify POS before a transfer is accepted.
Plan this migration Data migration: $2,999. Scope confirmed before booking.The records we review.
- Products & variants

- SKUs & barcodes

- Existing destination records
- Products and customers already in your next system
The decisions
we make first.
Source access
Review representative exports and the available extraction method.

Test & acceptance
Agree the records and checks before the final transfer.
Directional data plan: Lightspeed Retail X Series to Shopify POS
This is a planning matrix for assessment, not evidence of a completed transfer. The included fields and receiving method are confirmed from authorized samples before booking.
| Dataset | Source evidence | Receiving decision and acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Products and variants | X Series products and variant identity with outlet stock; separate customer and liability records. | Current Shopify product CSV or eligible migration app; customer CSV and inventory workflow are separate. |
| Identifiers and existing records | Retain source IDs, grouping fields and outlet names; verify export coverage against source counts. | Inspect existing products before selecting create/update behavior; history requires another method. |
| Customer contacts | Obtain a separate customer sample with source IDs and duplicate candidates. | Confirm supported fields and match rules; reconcile created, matched and rejected profiles. Contacts do not establish transferred balances. |
| Opening inventory | Identify each source store, quantity state and export time. | Map each store to the receiving location and compare each included variant/location pair after the test. |
| History and liabilities | List required receipts, gift cards, credit, loyalty and open orders separately. | Approve a specific native method, usable archive or exclusion for each. Do not infer support from the catalog import. |
X Series outlets into Shopify locations
Export the intended X Series products and preserve variant grouping and outlet stock. Decide whether Shopify already has linked products; inspect handles and destination IDs before loading another catalog. Use the current Shopify method approved for this account.
Acceptance before production
Choose a full style with several variants, an unusual barcode, an existing customer and stock in two locations where relevant. Record expected grouping, identifiers and quantities before loading it. Compare the returned destination records with the source crosswalk, resolve rejected rows and have the retailer approve exceptions.
Agree the final snapshot, trading changes and recovery action before the production transfer. Hardware, staff training and ongoing ecommerce or accounting connections have separate implementation owners. Correction responsibilities and support duration belong in the written scope.
Confirm the route before booking
The standard fee is $2,999 USD for the confirmed scope. Check my migration with the exact source and destination editions, stores and required records. Authorized extraction access, the receiving method and an accepted sample remain prerequisites; this page does not establish an implemented route.
