Lightspeed to Shopify: Sue 2 Knits Boosts Orders, Checkout, and Marketing Integration

Challenge: Sue 2 Knits, a locally loved knitwear boutique, relied on Lightspeed for both ecommerce and POS. Over time, limitations of the platform became clear:

  • Poor Online Experience: High cart abandonment, slow checkout, and unexpected fees were hurting conversions.

  • Limited Flexibility: Minor website updates required costly developer support.

  • Disconnected Operations: Ecommerce and in-store sales weren’t unified, creating manual work and inefficiencies.

  • Missed Marketing Opportunities: Lack of native integrations with Pinterest, Google Shopping, and other tools restricted online growth.

Sue needed a modern, scalable platform to unify sales channels, improve checkout, and enable marketing automation.

Solution:

Matagora executed a full Lightspeed-to-Shopify migration, covering ecommerce, POS Pro, and marketing integrations. The process included:

  • Clean Data Migration: Product data, customer records, and order history transferred with zero downtime.

  • Unified POS + Ecommerce: Online and in-store sales synced for a consistent, seamless experience.

  • Marketing Tools Setup: Shopify-native integrations for Pinterest, Google Shopping, and SEO optimization.

  • Operational Freedom: Post-migration, the owner can update the website, launch promotions, and manage all channels independently.
