Why switch from Lightspeed to Shopify?

, 3 min reading time

So you have an online store and you're using Lightspeed. Sounds like a good plan, right? But let's face it: the world of e-commerce is changing rapidly. If you want to keep your store running smoothly and offer your customers the best experience, sometimes it's time to look elsewhere. So… why Shopify? And why now?


1. Lightspeed: Time for a fresh start?

Lightspeed, especially the well-known "C-Series" platform, has served us well for years. But what many users are now noticing is that the platform is no longer keeping pace with the rapidly changing e-commerce world. What does this mean in practice?

  • No updates: Lightspeed C-Series is a "legacy product." That might sound fancy, but it really just means "outdated." New features? They're not coming.

  • Uncertainty: Maintenance and security updates are receiving less attention, which brings with it risks such as security vulnerabilities and outdated tools.

  • Limited scalability: As your online store grows, you don't want to be limited by a platform that struggles to keep pace. Unfortunately, the scalability of Lightspeed C-Series isn't optimal, especially if you want to take your online store to the next level.

2. Why Shopify? More than just a pretty window display!

Shopify isn't just an alternative; it's a complete package for serious e-commerce entrepreneurs. Here's what Shopify can do for you:

  • Unlimited customizations and themes: With Shopify, you can create a truly unique shopping experience. Hundreds of themes are available, from sleek minimalist to vibrantly colorful. Perfect for fully expressing your brand and story.

  • Better SEO and faster loading: Shopify is known for its excellent SEO tools and fast loading times. This not only makes your customers happy, but Google too. And let's face it, a better search engine ranking means more traffic and—hopefully—more sales!

  • Security and Innovation: With Shopify, you get regular security updates and access to innovative features, such as multichannel options, advanced analytics, and mobile optimization.

  • Ready for the future: From international expansion to multi-currency support and multi-language stores, Shopify is ready to grow with you.

3. Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Switching to Shopify often results in a more favorable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Syncer provides customers with insight into the TCO, including monthly subscription fees, transaction fees, apps, hosting, and security. While the monthly fee is often slightly higher than Lightspeed, you get a lot in return. The investment quickly pays for itself in functionality, security, and customer satisfaction.

4. Syncer: The Partner That Makes Everything Run

Migrating to Shopify might seem like a big step, but that's exactly where Syncer helps. From inventory to customer data, the Syncer app seamlessly transfers everything. The best part is that your store can continue to operate while everything happens in the background. What makes the Syncer approach unique?
