  • THE BRIEF

THE CASE OF DEKBED-DISCOUNTER.NL

Dekbed-Discounter.nl is one of the largest players in the Dutch sleep and home category. A Twinkle Top 50 retailer running a complex, headless Lightspeed setup built up over years of growth. They came to us with one of the harder migration profiles we see: a headless source platform, eight million items across categories, and a brand that couldn't afford a single hour of downtime during the cutover.

The brief had three immovable constraints. Preserve every product, customer record, order, and discount code, one-to-one. Land every SEO position built up over years on Shopify Plus unchanged. And run the cutover during a live trading window, with order flow continuing the entire time. Most studios told them to plan for downtime. We told them they wouldn't need it.

  • WHAT WE DID
A CUSTOM SHOPIFY PLUS STOREFRONT.
On top of the migration, we designed and built a custom Shopify Plus storefront on the SYK storebuild framework. A faster, more flexible front end than the headless setup it replaced, with the editorial range Dekbed-Discounter needed for category campaigns and seasonal storytelling. Built on the same foundation that powers our themes in the Shopify Theme Store, just deeper for their brand.
EIGHT MILLION ITEMS, MOVED ON LIVE SYNC.
Eight million items moved from Lightspeed headless to Shopify Plus: products, variants, customers, orders, discount codes. Syncer ran the migration in live-sync mode, which means the source database and the new Plus environment stayed synchronised the entire time leading up to cutover. New orders, new customers, and product updates that hit Lightspeed during the migration window appeared on Plus within seconds. The team kept trading. We kept syncing.
A TWINKLE TOP 50 SEO FOOTPRINT, PRESERVED.
A Twinkle Top 50 retailer has serious organic rankings, accumulated over years. Category pages, product titles, metadata, canonical structure, internal linking. We ran the SEO migration through SEO Guard, our own SEO continuity layer. Every URL mapped one-to-one. Every meta-tag preserved. Every canonical relationship intact. Every redirect tested before cutover. Indexed rankings the morning after launch matched indexed rankings the day before.
