Challenge: Rise & Set Clothing Boutique is a style-conscious destination for curated Canadian and select international fashion labels, including Brunette The Label, Gentle Fawn, and Priv.
Despite strong in-store performance, the boutique faced persistent challenges with Lightspeed:
-
Underperforming Online Store: Low conversions, frequent cart abandonment, and difficulty connecting online inventory with in-store stock.
-
Limited Platform Flexibility: Restricted access to apps and marketing tools that could drive traffic, retention, and engagement.
-
High Operational Overhead: Multiple workflows, manual processes, and fragmented systems increased time and cost for the team.
-
Disconnected Sales Channels: Ecommerce and POS were not fully unified, limiting omnichannel opportunities like buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS).
It became clear the boutique needed a modern, unified platform to optimize operations and sales.
Solution:
Matagora executed a full Lightspeed-to-Shopify migration, covering both Shopify Ecommerce and Shopify POS Pro. The migration included a complete transfer of product data, customer records, and order history — all with zero downtime.
Key improvements included:
-
Unified Ecommerce + POS: Fully connected system for seamless online-to-offline selling.
-
Simplified Operations: Centralized workflows eliminated the need to switch between platforms.
-
Enhanced Customer Experience: Smooth checkout, easy email capture in-store, and BOPIS capabilities improved engagement and satisfaction.
-
Expanded Marketing Opportunities: Access to Shopify-native apps, including free tools for marketing, promotions, and customer retention.
Outcome:
✅ More Orders: Sales increased by over 10% in the first months following migration.
✅ Higher Foot Traffic: Integrated online promotions helped drive more customers into the boutique.
✅ Streamlined Operations: Staff now manage all sales channels from a single system, improving efficiency and accuracy.
✅ Better Marketing Leverage: Shopify-native tools allowed the boutique to maximize visibility and engagement with minimal additional cost.
