Lightspeed migration

Migrate from Lightspeed to Storefront Pro

Lightspeed is a capable general-retail POS, but it doesn't know what a Magic card is. Condition grading, buylist, deckbuilder, and marketplace sync either don't exist there or rely on add-ons. TCG Sync replaces the lot with one TCG-native platform, with Shopify as the source of truth. Not on Shopify yet? We can set it up for you — Shopify's own plans start from about $29 a month (£19 in the UK), billed by Shopify. Our team migrates your data; we aim to onboard typical stores within 48 hours of kickoff, once scope is confirmed.

  • Inventory, conditions, and stock counts imported
  • Customer records and order history preserved
  • Sales history migrated for reporting continuity
  • Condition-based pricing replaces flat SKU pricing
  • Native buylist, deckbuilder, events, and marketplace sync
  • One platform replaces Lightspeed + add-ons

What we migrate

Lightspeed covers the basics. TCG Sync covers card retail.

Your Lightspeed data doesn't get left behind. It lifts across — and the card-shop features come with it.

Inventory with conditions

Where you've shoehorned condition into Lightspeed via SKU suffixes or category hacks, we untangle it into TCG Sync's first-class condition model.

Customers and sales history

Customer records, order history, and total spend imported. Sales reports stay consistent across the switch.

Buylist as a real feature

TCG Sync has buylist at the till, online buylist, 1Cart trade-ins, and condition-aware payouts — all native.

Deckbuilder

Customers paste a decklist, add the deck to cart in one click.

Events and leagues

FNM, Pokémon League, Locals, prereleases — registration, check-in, prizing, and reporting all built in. No third-party event app required.

Marketplace sync

CardNexus, Cardmarket, eBay, TCGplayer, and more — connected to one inventory source.

Migration plan

What happens before, during, and after cutover

A platform move is an SEO, inventory, and staff workflow project at the same time. TCG Sync migrations are planned around those three risks, so the switch is not just a data import.

  1. Preflight audit

    We map products, variants, conditions, customer records, store credit, order history, and high-value URLs before anything is changed. That gives you a written cutover plan and a clear list of edge cases before your current store is touched.

  2. Parallel import

    The old platform stays live while Storefront Pro is populated in parallel. Staff can review stock counts, sample orders, customer records, redirects, and marketplace settings before the domain or checkout is moved.

  3. SEO-safe redirects

    Product and collection URLs are preserved where possible. When a URL has to change, we prepare permanent redirects so inbound links, Google rankings, and customer bookmarks land on the closest matching Storefront Pro page.

  4. Post-launch reconciliation

    After launch, we check orders, payment flow, search indexing, analytics, and marketplace stock movement. The goal is a stable trading week, not just a technically complete import.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Storefront Pro storefront only on the Storefront Pro package?
No. Every package includes the Storefront Pro storefront, Enterprise included. Storefront Pro the package is a pricing option — $1,000 USD setup + 2% of TCG singles and sealed sales — while Enterprise starts from $2,499 USD/month with no sales percentage.
Can I keep Lightspeed running during migration?
Yes. We migrate in parallel and cut over on a coordinated date.
What about my hardware (scanners, receipt printers, cash drawer)?
Most standard USB and Bluetooth retail hardware works with the TCG Sync POS. We confirm compatibility on the discovery call.
Will my sales reports still make sense?
Yes. Sales history migrates so year-over-year comparisons stay continuous. We also document the cutover date clearly in reports.
