A migration doesn't get cheaper when you postpone it. It only gets more urgent.

<template v-slot:body="">

Shopware 5 no longer receives security updates, Magento 1 shops run on
borrowed time, and every custom feature built on a dying platform is money
lost. We migrate from Shopware 5, Magento, OXID and WooCommerce to Shopware 6 —
not as copy-paste, but as a planned system change: data, custom code,
integrations and SEO substance come along. Whatever no longer carries its
weight stays behind.

Migration is a matter of trust.

</template>

<template v-slot:thesis="">

The most common migration damage is invisible: lost rankings, broken redirects, creeping revenue decline. That's why we treat SEO preservation as a core part of the migration — with a measurable before/after.

<faq-section :items="[{"question":"How long does a Shopware migration take?","answer":"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."},{"question":"What does a migration to Shopware 6 cost?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Is my shop offline during the migration?","answer":"No. The old shop keeps running unchanged while the new system is built and tested in parallel. The switchover itself happens without planned downtime."},{"question":"What happens to my Google rankings?","answer":"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."},{"question":"How long can I keep running Shopware 5?","answer":"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."},{"question":"Can you migrate from Magento, OXID or WooCommerce?","answer":"Yes. The process is the same — audit, data migration, features, SEO preservation, go-live. The source platform changes the effort, not the method."},{"question":"Will my plugins and theme carry over?","answer":"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."},{"question":"How does the data migration work technically?","answer":"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."},{"question":"What's the difference between an update and a migration?","answer":"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."}]" background="default" label="FAQ">
