From Lightspeed to Shopify
Running into the limits of Lightspeed? We migrate your store to Shopify, complete and without losing rankings.
Official partner of
Many Dutch stores started on SEOshop and grew into Lightspeed. That works well until your store outgrows what the platform offers: custom functionality, international selling, or integrations that simply are not available.
We migrate to Shopify with your data, design and search rankings intact.
Why Codemaker-S?
SEO preservation first
We map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects and monitor rankings around launch. Your organic traffic moves with you.
Certified Shopify specialists
Everything we do runs on Shopify. We know the platform inside out, from themes to API integrations, and we are an official Shopify Partner.
Complete data transfer
Products, customers, order history and content move across in a controlled way. We check per data type, together with you, before going live.
“We hugely appreciate how hard Codemaker-S worked. They were still going on the Sunday before our launch to get the last details right. After going live they even came round to celebrate, with VA Imaging cake and champagne.”
How we work
Lightspeed audit
Data / Integrations / SEO
We analyse your Lightspeed store: catalogue, integrations, POS links and URL structure, and what the Shopify equivalent looks like.
Build & migrate
Theme / Data / Apps
We build your store in Shopify and migrate products, customers and order history, replacing integrations where needed.
Redirects & launch
301 redirects / Testing / Aftercare
Every old URL gets a 301 redirect, we test the complete ordering flow and go live at a quiet moment. Then we monitor rankings and conversion.

Migrating a Lightspeed store usually costs € 8,000 to € 20,000. With B2B functionality, a POS integration or a large catalogue it can run up to € 60,000. Because Lightspeed stores tend to be relatively contained, most of the time goes into design and integrations rather than the data itself.
Usually because you are hitting a ceiling: custom functionality that is not possible, an app ecosystem that is considerably smaller, or international selling that gets awkward. Shopify's app ecosystem and API give you room that Lightspeed does not.
Not if it is done properly. We map every old URL to its new location with a 301 redirect, including category and content pages, and move titles, meta descriptions and structured data across.
Usually yes. Shopify has its own POS and integrations with most till systems. In the audit we check what you use today and what the equivalent is, including whether stock stays synchronised across both channels.
Six to twelve weeks, depending on catalogue size, integrations and whether a new design is part of it. Your Lightspeed store keeps running throughout; we only switch at launch.
Yes. Many Lightspeed stores still carry SEOshop URLs, and those get redirects as well. The older the store, the more valuable that history is, so we map it rather than pointing everything at the homepage.

Lightspeed vs Shopify in short
Lightspeed is solid for a straightforward store, especially with a physical shop attached. Shopify wins on custom functionality, the size of its app ecosystem and international selling. If none of those are limiting you today, a migration is not urgent, and we will say so.
What moves in the migration
Products with variants and images, categories as collections, customer accounts, order history, discount codes, content pages and blogs, including your SEOshop-era URLs. We agree per data type what moves before we start.
