  • Going live

Kappershandel managed five separate Lightspeed shops, each with its own assortment, target group and way of working. The wish was to migrate all shops to Shopify while preserving identity and continuity. This involved monsterclippers.com, kappershandel.nl, wahl.shop, kapperssale.com and tondeuse.shop.

Approach with a fixed cadence

Together it was decided to use a predictable pace in which one shop went live every month. This cadence provided space for preparation, test migrations, validation and training of the involved team. In this way the pace remained high and the quality constant, without unnecessary pressure on operations and customer service.

Data migration that is accurate

For each shop, products, variants, customers, orders and content were carefully mapped and transferred. Through strict controls and test runs, historical data remained intact and catalog, filters and navigation aligned logically within Shopify. Reports and measurement points were reliable from day one.

Five times a renewed design

Each shop received a fresh look that matches the brand and the target group. The design was built on the same components and principles, so management remains efficient and the brand family remains recognizable. Images, copy and product presentation were optimized per shop for conversion and speed.

Backoffice that works with you

The Shopify environments were set up with clear roles and rights, streamlined collection and pricing structures and reports that the team uses daily. This allows each shop team to work independently, while management keeps the same insights everywhere.

Go-live without noise

During each go-live, order flows and customer service remained available. Redirects and indexation were neatly arranged, so findability and advertising continued. Teams received clear runbooks and checklists, so everyone could continue right away.

The result

All five shops now run on Shopify with a uniform technical foundation and room for brand and assortment differences. Management is more straightforward, further development is faster and the shopping experience is more consistent. The monthly cadence proved itself as a reliable rhythm that kept complexity manageable.

  • Live data syncer

    Kappershandel.nl absolutely didn't want any data loss or an SEO drop, who did? Unfortunately, this happens all too often with many migration tools.

    With the Syncer App for Shopify ®, the current live store in Lightspeed was synchronized with the new store in Shopify . Every event, from a new customer to an order to a return, is automatically sent to the new platform, so there is no data loss and there is time and space to build the new store.
