Tilroy to Shopify, without breaking your store operations.
Tilroy is built for your tills, your stock and your shops, and it stays that way. When the webshop outgrows it we move the online store to Shopify and keep products, stock and customers in sync, so in store and online stay one business.
Chosen to run the shops, not the webshop.
Most Shopify agencies have never touched Tilroy. We know where the line sits between what it should keep doing and what Shopify should take over.
You did not choose Tilroy for the webshop. You chose it to run your shops, and it does that well. What you have outgrown is the webshop, not the retail system, so that is the only part we move: the shops keep trading, the stock keeps syncing, and the online store gets rebuilt somewhere it can actually grow.
You have outgrown the webshop, not the retail system.
Four things we hear from retailers running Tilroy. Not one of them is a complaint about the tills.
A store that converts and ranks needs its own front end, its own structure and its own speed. A bundled template gets you online, which was the point when you started; it does not get you found, and it caps what design and CRO can do afterwards.
- Template ceiling
- Fixed layouts
- Page speed
- Limited CRO
Everything about who buys what sits in one closed system, out of reach of the segmentation, the automation and the reporting you would actually act on. Getting a list out becomes a request rather than a query.
- Segmentation
- Email automation
- Reporting
- Export limits
Another country means another currency, another language, another VAT rule and another delivery promise. The webshop half of a retail suite tends to treat each of those as a setting rather than as a market.
- Currencies
- Languages
- VAT
- Local delivery
The live connection between the shops, the stock and the online store is the thing nobody will risk, which is exactly why the webshop tends to stay put long after it stopped being good enough. It is a solvable problem, not a reason to wait.
- Live stock
- One catalog
- Shop floor
- Cutover risk
We have made this exact move.

What moves, and what does not.
Three answers, because one list of everything that comes across is a promise nobody can check.
Your shops keep trading throughout. Tilroy stays connected while the online store moves, and products, stock and customers stay in sync from launch day rather than from the week after it.
Comes across
Pulled out of Tilroy, cleaned, and loaded into Shopify.
- Products, variants and collections
- Stock levels, per location
- Customer accounts and addresses
- Order and receipt history
- Category and content structure
- Every language you sell in
Rebuilt on Shopify
Built for the online store, and connected back to the shop floor.
- The storefront and the checkout
- Search, filtering and navigation
- Markets, currencies and VAT
- The URL structure and redirects
- The live link to Tilroy, from day one
- Point of sale, when it makes sense
Left behind
The webshop half of the bundle, and nothing on the shop floor.
- The Tilroy webshop templates
- The ceiling on design and CRO
- Sales data locked in one system
- A webshop you cannot rebuild

What every Tilroy retailer asks before moving.
Not seeing your question here? A free intro call will settle it, no obligation.
There is nothing wrong with keeping Tilroy connected while the online store moves first, and that is often how we start. Once the webshop is on Shopify, though, running a separate till system in sync is usually the long way round: Shopify POS Pro means one system for online and in store, one source of stock and customer data, and less to maintain. We will tell you honestly when Tilroy should stay and when it should go.
Products, stock and customers are connected from launch day rather than at the end, so the shop floor and the website read the same stock figure. That connection is built and tested before the cutover, on real products, not switched on afterwards and watched.
Yes. The tills never stop. What moves is the online store, and the shops carry on exactly as they do now, which is the whole reason this page exists rather than the general migration page.
That is what the extraction audit is for, and it is the first thing we do. The export decides what you receive and in what shape, so we check it before anything is promised, and where it falls short we get the data out another way rather than quietly leaving it behind.
As far as Tilroy will hand it over, and the audit tells you exactly how far that is before you commit. Customers, addresses and order history come across; the parts an export will not give up are named in writing rather than discovered at launch.
Not if the redirect map is the first deliverable rather than the last fix. Every URL on the current webshop is mapped before anything moves, and we watch the index for weeks after launch. A retail migration is still an SEO project, and we run both.
Nothing on the shop floor changes while Tilroy stays. If point of sale moves later, the hardware question is answered before that decision rather than after it: which terminals, which peripherals, what can be reused and what has to be replaced.
