Switching · import help is free
Changing tills is mostly a data job, and the data that matters is your catalog. We help you move products, variants, customers and stock across for free, and you can run both systems for a week.
Switching to BoutiquePOS means exporting products with their sizes and colors, customers, stock counts and suppliers from your old POS as CSV files and importing them. Help with the import is free. Past sales history stays in your old system, so export the reports you need first, and switch between seasons if you can.

| Your current system | How to export |
|---|---|
| Shopify POS | Products, including variants, and customers can usually be exported as CSV from the Shopify admin. Export inventory per location too. Menus change; check their help docs. |
| Lightspeed Retail | Product, customer and supplier lists can usually be exported from the relevant list screens or reports. Export a stock report with quantities per location. Menus change; check their help docs. |
| Square for Retail | The item library and customer directory can usually be exported as CSV or spreadsheet files from the dashboard. Menus change; check their help docs. |
| Spreadsheets / Excel | Save each sheet as CSV with one row per size and color, and columns for style name, size, color, SKU, barcode, price and stock. We can help reshape a messy sheet. |
| Other local POS (Pakistan/UAE) | Most local systems can export item lists to Excel or CSV from a reports or backup screen. If yours cannot, a printed stock report and a few hours of typing still works, and we can help. Menus change; check their help docs. |
Comparing first? vs Shopify POS · vs Lightspeed · vs Square · CSV import guide
Products with their size and color variants, SKUs, barcodes and prices; customers with their contact details; current stock counts; and suppliers. Those cover what you need to sell on day one.
If your old barcodes are stored per variation, they can come across, so existing swing tags keep scanning.
Past sales history stays in your old system. It is rarely worth importing years of transactions, and the totals would not match your new setup anyway.
Before you close the old account, export the reports you need: sales by product for last season, tax summaries and customer purchase totals. Keep them with your accounts.
Between seasons. Avoid the week before Eid, the holiday rush or the start of a lawn drop. A quiet fortnight after a sale ends is ideal, because stock is low and easy to count.
If you sign up during a busy period, use the 14-day trial to set up your catalog and switch the till once things calm down.
Yes, for about a week. Ring all new sales in BoutiquePOS so stock stays right, and keep the old system only to look up and process returns of things sold before the switch.
Once those older returns slow down and your end-of-day totals match, close the old system.
Export products, customers, suppliers and stock as CSV files, send them for a free import check, import them, count your stock and run both systems for about a week.
Yes. Help importing your products costs nothing.
Yes, if your export has one row per variation or lists the options per style. We check this on the import call.
Usually, yes. If your export includes a barcode per variation, it can be imported so your current tags keep scanning.
No. Past sales stay in your old system. Export the reports you need before closing it.
Customers with their contact details can be imported. Talk to us on the import check about carrying over points or store credit balances.
Most boutiques plan about two weeks from export to switching off the old system, including a week of running both.
No. Plans are month to month and you can export your data any time.
Usually not. Standard receipt printers, scanners and label printers often keep working. The hardware guide explains what to check.
