[TyW]

Did you know that as of September 13th, 2021 that if you're using Lightspeed Retail or Lightspeed Onsite, you can migrate your products to Shopify at ease using the Store Importer? 

Using a three step process you’ll be able to migrate your data from Lightspeed to Shopify quickly, and with confidence so you get up and running quickly! 

Step 1 - Export your store data from Lightspeed 

Make sure you've installed Lightspeed eCom first before following instructions to export your Lightspeed data to a CSV file. 

Step 2 - Import your store data into Shopify 

Within your Shopify admin, click Apps followed by Store Importer and using Add File select the exported data from step 1

Note: If the platform mentioned on the Store Importer page is not Lightspeed scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Select a different platform. You can then select Lightspeed from the drop-down menu.

Step 3 - Review and update your imported data 

After importing your data review the results and edit imported information if required.

Before completing your import review check out the Shopify Help Centred for further guidance on some of the other actions you may need to take while reviewing your imported data such as adding product dimensions. 

Additional Information

In the event you think you missed something during your Lightspeed export, and import into Shopify you can always import again, on top of an existing import. 

For more detail check out Import data on top of an existing import within the Shopify Help Centre.

You can also delete, and run the import process again if desired should you notice any issues, or encounter difficulties completing your import.
