Migrating from Lightspeed to Magento

More options, more control, more room to grow

Lightspeed

Lightspeed is a user-friendly platform that’s especially popular with smaller online stores and retailers who want to get online quickly. As your business grows, though, you may start to run into its limits: fewer options for customization and integrations; difficulty scaling across multiple countries, languages, or currencies; reliance on apps with recurring fees; and less control over hosting and performance.

Sound familiar? If so, moving to Magento Open Source with a Hyvä frontend could be the logical next step. It’s a platform built for growth, flexibility, and full control.

When does switching to Magento make sense?

Not every Lightspeed store needs to switch. But if your business is growing and your platform is starting to hold you back, Magento is often the right choice. It gives you a flexible, scalable platform built with performance and customization in mind.

Cream helps you make this call with honest, technically grounded advice that takes your growth plans into account. We combine extensive experience with Lightspeed to Magento migrations, deep technical expertise, and close strategic involvement to deliver a solution that fits your ambitions.

The power of Magento Open Source

The e-commerce platform for flexible, scalable online stores.

Built for maximum flexibility

Magento Open Source gives you plenty of room to adapt as your requirements, processes, and growth plans change. With extensions or custom development, you get an online store that fits your organization exactly.

Make your own technical choices

As an open-source platform, Magento lets you choose your own technology and partners. You make your technical decisions independently, with no vendor lock-in.

Control over your own data

You stay in full control of your data, so you can use it freely for integrations, analytics, personalization, and optimization, without restrictions imposed by the platform.

How Cream handles your migration

Moving from Lightspeed to Magento takes both technical precision and strategic insight. That’s why we follow a clear, step-by-step plan:

Analyzing your current setup

We start by mapping out your existing setup, including current functionality, product structure, data quality, customer and order data, the extensions you use, custom development, and the technical configuration of your current platform.

Functional & technical plan

We decide which functionality to carry over, where there’s room to improve, and how best to set up the new environment, integrations included.

Migration & development

We migrate your data to Magento Open Source and build the functionality you need in a stable, future-proof environment.

Testing & go-live

Before going live, we run extensive tests on functionality, performance, and data, so your online store stays stable and runs smoothly throughout the switch.
