How to Migrate from Lightspeed to Shopify
Migrating from Lightspeed to Shopify with LitExtension is handled in three expert-managed steps, from planning and mapping through full migration and validation.
1. Consulting with Migration Experts
Share your Lightspeed and Shopify store details with our team. We review source access, transferable data, category structure, Shopify setup, and migration requirements before defining the migration plan.
2. Data Mapping and Store Setup
Our experts map supported Lightspeed data to the corresponding Shopify fields, configure the required Migration Options, and run a Demo Migration so you can review the results before the full transfer.
3. Perform Full Data Migration
After the demo is approved, we run the full migration on our servers, monitor the transfer, and validate key data so the Shopify store is ready for your final launch review.

FAQs About Lightspeed to Shopify Migration
Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.
What data can be migrated from Lightspeed to Shopify?
LitExtension migrates supported Lightspeed products and product categories, customers, and orders to Shopify.
The transferable fields include core product details, prices, inventory data, product tags, variants, images, customer names and emails, and supported order history. The What Data section above lists the route fields in detail.
Can Lightspeed product variants and images be migrated to Shopify?
Yes. LitExtension migrates supported Lightspeed product variants, thumbnail images, and additional product images to Shopify.
Product names, SKUs, descriptions, prices, inventory fields, dimensions, product tags, and SEO metadata are also included in the supported product scope.
Can customer passwords be migrated from Lightspeed to Shopify?
No. Customer passwords are not included in the standard Lightspeed to Shopify migration.
For Shopify Customer Accounts, migrated customers sign in using a code sent to their email address, so a reusable Lightspeed password is not required for the new account flow.
Can LitExtension preserve Lightspeed order IDs on Shopify?
Yes. Lightspeed Order ID is included in the supported route data, so the Preserve Order IDs option keeps supported order IDs unchanged during migration to Shopify.
This provides a consistent reference between historical Lightspeed orders and their migrated Shopify records.
How are Lightspeed categories handled on Shopify?
LitExtension migrates supported Lightspeed category names, descriptions, images, and SEO metadata to Shopify.
With the Shopify Smart Collections option, relevant product tags are added during migration so source category and subcategory organization can be represented through Shopify Smart Collections.
Can LitExtension create 301 redirects from Lightspeed to Shopify?
Yes. Select the Create 301 Redirects option and LitExtension creates redirects from old Lightspeed URLs to the corresponding Shopify URLs.
This helps visitors and search engines reach the correct target pages when store URLs change during replatforming.
Does the Lightspeed API affect migration time?
Yes. Lightspeed API rate limits affect processing speed on this route, and the migration processes one entity type at a time.
Larger catalogs and order histories therefore take longer to process. Your migration expert accounts for these API constraints in the migration plan and monitors the transfer through completion.
Can Lightspeed gift cards be migrated to Shopify?
Yes. Lightspeed gift cards can be handled as a custom scope for migration to Shopify.
Gift card structure and balance handling are reviewed as part of project setup. For this requirement, contact us via Live Chat.
Will my Lightspeed store stay online during the migration?
Yes. The migration runs separately from your live Lightspeed storefront, so customers can continue browsing and placing orders while the main transfer is running.
Before launch, newly created data can be handled through the appropriate post-migration update process so the final Shopify store reflects recent activity.
How much does a Lightspeed to Shopify migration cost?
The cost depends on your data volume, store complexity, mapping requirements, and project-specific work.
You can use the Cost Estimator for an initial estimate, then use the All-in-One service quote for the expert-managed migration scope.
