  • THE BRIEF

THE CASE OF HAARSPULLEN.NL

Haarspullen.nl had been on Lightspeed for ten years. In that time they'd grown into a Twinkle 200 retailer with 7 figures in annual revenue. The problem wasn't the platform exactly. The problem was that they'd hit the ceiling of what Lightspeed could do for them, and the next phase of growth needed something else.

They came to us with a clear brief: move ten years of customer history, product data, and SEO to Shopify Plus without losing momentum, and lay the foundation for a 12% revenue lift in year one. Replatforming a Twinkle 200 retailer is the kind of project most studios quote at six months. They needed a faster path, less risk, and a partner who'd done it at this scale before.

  • WHAT WE DID
TWO SEPARATE STORES
Haarspullen ran two separate Lightspeed shops, one per language. The first decision was structural: rather than rebuild that split on Plus, we consolidated both into a single Shopify Plus environment with proper Markets-based language handling. One backend, one data model, two storefronts sharing the same product catalog and customer base. Then we got to work.
SIX MILLION ITEMS, MOVED ON SYNCER.
Over six million items, ten years of customer and order history, two source databases. Syncer ran the migration end-to-end, with live sync during the cutover window so order flow never stopped. Every record reconciled before launch.
TEN YEARS OF SEO, PRESERVED AND IMPROVED.
Ten years of Lightspeed SEO is the kind of legacy that breaks careless migrations. We ran ours through SEO Guard, our own SEO continuity layer. Every legacy URL mapped to its Plus equivalent, every canonical preserved, every metadata pattern maintained. Corrections applied where the legacy structure was already costing rankings.

BUILT ON OUR PREMIER FRAMEWORK

Custom storebuilds at SYK don't start from zero. For HAARSPULLEN.NL we started on our own framework, built on top of the fifteen themes we ship in the Shopify Theme Store. Same performance floor, same accessibility, much deeper for client-specific design and logic. Custom work, shipped at theme-build speed.

    Marijn Bulthuis - Founder Haarspullen.nl

    "We'd been on Lightspeed for a decade. By the time we hit €XX million we knew the platform was holding us back, but the thought of moving ten years of data and SEO to a new system was the kind of project that keeps a founder up at night. SYK ran the migration through Syncer, their own tool, and six weeks later we were live on Shopify Plus. Still some things to do, but no downtime. The team was operating the new store the morning after launch like they'd been doing it for years."

HOW WE RUN MIGRATIONS
WITH SYNCER®

Syncer and SYK logo lockup

We work in two layers. The data layer runs through Syncer, our sister company's purpose-built migration tooling. It streams products, customers, orders, and content from your old platform into Shopify in real time, with zero downtime. The old store keeps running while the new one is being built.
