A retail data migration

Retail Pro→Shopify POS

A move from Retail Pro to Shopify POS needs an explicit map from a subsidiary-specific matrix and serial-tracked piece with stock at two stores to the receiving records.

Plan this migration Data migration: $2,999. Scope confirmed before booking.

The records we review.

Products & variants: Style, size, and color relationships
SKUs & barcodes: Identifiers used across your stores
Customers: Supported fields and matching decisions
Opening inventory: Quantities mapped to each location
Existing destination records: Products and customers already in your next system

The decisions
we make first.

Source access
Review representative exports and the available extraction method.
History & balances
Assess sales history, gift cards, loyalty, and credits separately.
Test & acceptance
Agree the records and checks before the final transfer.

Assess the Retail Pro source

Edition-specific Retail Pro extract with subsidiary/store and matrix identity; verify custom resources and access.

Prism initialization/replication tooling is not a universal third-party importer. Subsidiary and item identity must remain distinguishable.

Keep an untouched original and a record of account, edition, location coverage and extraction time. The customer must provide full authorized access and be able to access their own data. Do not infer missing fields or access from a vendor family name.

Plan the Shopify POS destination

Separate product, customer and inventory workflows; inspect existing products and locations before creating or updating records.

If Shopify ecommerce remains, match its existing products and decide the ongoing inventory owner before loading another catalog.

Inspect existing receiving records before choosing create, match or update behavior. An exported internal ID should remain in a reconciliation crosswalk unless the receiving specification explicitly accepts it.

Directional data decisions

Dataset	Retail Pro evidence to preserve	Shopify POS decision to confirm
Products and variants	Complete grouping, source IDs, sellable combinations and item status	Equivalent parent/variant structure and supported receiving fields
Identifiers and prices	SKUs, full barcode text, unit and price context	Matching rule, permitted identifier representation and accepted price behavior
Customer contacts	Source identity and duplicate candidates, separately from liabilities	Receiving method, existing-profile rules and rejected-row report
Location stock	Store/warehouse map, quantity type, unit and snapshot time	Correct receiving location and set-versus-add operation
History and commitments	Required receipts, gift cards, credit, loyalty and open orders listed individually	Native receiving method, approved transformation, archive or exclusion for each

A representative test for this direction

Use a subsidiary-specific matrix and serial-tracked piece with stock at two stores. In the receiving Shopify POS setup, also inspect a product already sold online, two variant barcodes and stock at two Shopify locations. Use these illustrative examples to plan your project’s sample and agree expected results before a production import.

Write expected identities, grouping and quantities before the sample load. Compare returned records and rejected rows, approve exceptions and capture changes made after the stock snapshot. Test any proposed history or balance operations separately so an item import cannot silently create a second liability or stock movement.

What remains to be confirmed

Identify Prism versus legacy version, obtain partner-approved extraction/receiving specifications, subsidiary matching and dependent resources.
Confirm exact source/destination editions, authorized full access, included fields, existing destination records and retailer approval of history/balance treatment.
No prior Sqquid test evidence was supplied. Run a representative controlled test and record actual results before executing this migration; do not publish an exercised-route or all-data guarantee.

This route remains under review. Request an assessment to establish the actual method and scope before booking. We confirm the exact edition pairing and supported fields before booking.

Official references

What the vendor documentation establishes

Retail Pro Prism release features: Current release material includes data-import tooling but does not specify the complete external route or establish legacy-version equivalence.

Shopify product CSV workflows: Products use a dedicated CSV workflow; contacts and multi-location quantities need separate receiving operations.

Shopify customer lists: Customer CSV is distinct from products; contact fields do not recreate orders or balances.

Shopify inventory CSV: Inventory is mapped to destination products and locations; establish a cutoff and inspect the destination export before updating.

Migration scope and responsibilities

The standard migration fee is $2,999 USD for the confirmed scope.

Tailored to your retailer data

Every migration is unique. Your catalog, barcodes, orders and customer information are unique and proprietary to your business. We work closely with you to tailor the migration for the best possible outcome, agree the included records and define acceptance checks for your stores.

Access to both systems

You must provide Sqquid full authorized access to both systems and be able to access your own data. Arrange access through an agreed secure process. Do not put passwords, API tokens, payment information or customer export files into the general enquiry form.

Source data quality

Sqquid is not responsible for migration errors caused by poor data supplied by the customer. Source issues, proposed corrections and exclusions need to be recorded before the transfer is accepted.

Earlier work and guarantee limits

Sqquid does not guarantee a migration that started before Sqquid was hired. Any guarantee is limited to the data migration work performed by Sqquid and expires on the launch date. Record the agreed launch milestone in the written scope; do not assume post-launch guarantee coverage.

Vendor charges and separate work

Vendor charges are passed to the customer in addition to the confirmed migration fee. POS implementation, hardware, payment setup, staff training and ongoing integrations have separate responsibilities and scope. A Sqquid software subscription is not required for the migration service.

Your systems. Your next chapter.
