Shopware migration without revenue loss.
Shopware 5 is end-of-life, Magento is getting expensive, the old shop is slowing you down? We migrate to Shopware 6 — plan, data and rankings intact.
The right time was yesterday.
A migration doesn't get cheaper when you postpone it. It only gets more urgent.
Five steps to the new system.
Inventory of shop, plugins, custom code and data. The result is a migration plan with effort and date — not a guess.
Products, customers, orders and media — fully migrated and verified in test runs before anything goes live.
Plugins are replaced or rebuilt, ERP and payment connections rewired — update-safe instead of glued together.
A redirect concept for every URL, meta and structured data, a performance budget. Your rankings are capital — we bring them along.
Switchover without downtime, monitoring from minute one, hypercare in the first weeks. Then ongoing support under SLA.
Migration is a matter of trust.
Rankings stay
Complete redirect mapping and technical SEO are part of the migration — not an afterthought once the traffic is gone.
Fixed timeframe
A migration plan with a binding go-live date. The old shop keeps selling until the new one demonstrably takes over.
No legacy ballast
We migrate the business, not the baggage. Dead plugin inventory and organic sprawl end at the system boundary.
Senior hands
Migration is surgery on live revenue. Ours is performed by the engineers who know Shopware down to the core.
Four roads to Shopware 6.
The overdue classic
Shopware 5 is end-of-life — without security updates, every month gets more expensive. Shopware 6 isn't a new version, it's a new architecture. We migrate data and business logic, not old code, and use the switch for a clean re-cut of your processes.
Out of the complexity trap
Running Magento binds developer capacity the mid-market invests better elsewhere. Moving to Shopware 6 lowers operating complexity and TCO — attributes, categories and customer accounts translate losslessly into the Shopware data world.
From plugin stack to platform
What started as a lean shop often ends as a fragile plugin tower. Shopware 6 ships a commerce core, rule builder and B2B capability out of the box — the migration replaces dozens of plugins with system features.
When renting should become owning
Growing transaction fees, limits in B2B and customization, data in someone else's hands — merchants who need control over margin and processes migrate to Shopware. We calculate beforehand at which revenue the switch pays off.
Migration isn't an end in itself — it's a calculation.
- Moves without a reason — if you're scaling happily, stay.
- Copy-paste migrations that preserve old mistakes.
- Projects where SEO preservation comes "later".
- Shopware 5 shops that need an exit plan — now.
- Magento, OXID and WooCommerce merchants with growing operating burden.
- Shopify merchants hitting fee or feature limits.
Migration questions.
How long does a Shopware migration take? +
Between six weeks and six months, depending on data volume, custom code and integrations. After the migration audit we commit to a date — any number before that would be guessed.
What does a migration to Shopware 6 cost? +
Simple shops start in the low five-figure range; complex systems with ERP integration and custom features sit above that. The audit produces a reliable number — details and cost blocks are on our pricing page.
Is my shop offline during the migration? +
No. The old shop keeps running unchanged while the new system is built and tested in parallel. The switchover itself happens without planned downtime.
What happens to my Google rankings? +
They stay — provided the migration includes complete redirect mapping, clean meta and structured data, and equal or better performance. Exactly that is part of every migration we do, including before/after measurement in Search Console.
How long can I keep running Shopware 5? +
Technically as long as you like, economically not. Official support has ended — without security updates, every day carries growing risk for data breaches and PCI compliance. Plan today and you migrate in control instead of under pressure.
Can you migrate from Magento, OXID or WooCommerce? +
Yes. The process is the same — audit, data migration, features, SEO preservation, go-live. The source platform changes the effort, not the method.
Will my plugins and theme carry over? +
Plugins are evaluated, not blindly carried along — most have a Shopware 6 equivalent, a system feature or a leaner custom rebuild. The design is transferred to the new storefront or deliberately modernized; a one-to-one clone of the old technology would be the most expensive option.
How does the data migration work technically? +
Through repeatable, scripted imports into a staging environment — products, customers, orders, media. Every run is verified against checksums and samples. Only when the test run is clean does the final data state go live.
What's the difference between an update and a migration? +
An update raises the same architecture to a new level — plannable in hours to days. A migration changes the architecture or platform, with data transfer and a rebuild of customizations. Shopware 5 to 6 is therefore a migration, not an update — planning it as an update is how budgets fail.
The old shop has an expiry date.
