Not every brand needs headless — that's the common sense part. For Hentley Farm the right stack was a Shopify theme, tailored hard: migrated off a custom platform with eight years of order history intact, point of sale at the cellar door, Klaviyo, and Shopify Flow automations running the busywork.


1 / 3Most replatforms fail before a line of code is written. They fail in the spreadsheet where somebody decided the order history was too hard to bring along.
Your history is the asset. Reviews, order counts, customer lifetime value — the things that make returning customers convert at three times the rate of cold traffic.
POS went live between tastings on a Tuesday. Klaviyo flows picked up the email busywork, Shopify Flow picked up the rest, and the team got documentation they actually read.
Shopify POS could have run the restaurant. It earned the online store and the cellar door on merit — but a working restaurant floor is a different job, and Lightspeed does that job better. Hentley Farm runs Shopify for the online store and cellar door, and Lightspeed for the restaurant — one solution, each platform chosen on merit. We are platform agnostic: we don't sell a stack, we fit one.
“They moved eight years of our history without losing a single order. The site got faster, the cellar door got simpler, and nobody held us hostage.”
Got a platform that's outgrown itself? Migrations are our favourite party trick.
