Challenge: Lightspeed Was Limiting Growth
7B Boardshop is a community-driven skateboard and snowboard shop in Sandpoint, Idaho. While the in-store experience was strong, Lightspeed was holding the business back online.
The problems were clear:
-
Almost No Ecommerce Revenue
The website generated little traffic and, on a good month, only one online order. -
No True Omnichannel Setup
In-store and online sales weren’t properly connected, limiting growth opportunities like BOPIS and showrooming. -
Missing Marketing & Conversion Tools
Key features such as Google Shopping, Instagram Shopping, and fast checkout were either unavailable or difficult to implement. -
Fear of Migration Risk
Rory had been burned before—during a previous platform switch, he was forced to manually re-enter barcodes for the entire inventory. He didn’t want a repeat of that experience.
Owner Feedback – Rory:
“Matagora’s awesome. Data migration is not easy and hurdles were to be expected. Wenjun knows his stuff and is great to work with.”
