Even heavily customised shops can be migrated. The key is to assess data, features, processes and dependencies before implementation begins.
Review pluginsOKTest data runsOKValidate redirectsOKA Shopware migration involves more than transferring products and orders. Existing plugins, business logic, integrations, SEO URLs, content and technical dependencies need a new target architecture rather than a blind version jump.
Migration risk is not limited to data. Legacy plugins, custom business logic, integrations, SEO URLs and ongoing operations need to be assessed together.
The shop has been customised for years and is poorly documented.
Old plugins are unavailable or have no Shopware 6 version.
ERP, PIM or marketplace integrations must continue without disruption.
Large data volumes and variants make testing demanding.
Organic traffic must not be put at unnecessary risk by URL changes.
Cost and risk cannot be estimated credibly without an inventory.
After a focused review of your information, you receive an honest assessment of the sensible approach, important prerequisites and available support.
Describe the current situationEvery relevant part of the existing shop receives a clear decision: migrate, replace, rebuild or deliberately retire.
Products, variants, categories, media, customers, orders, prices and custom fields.
Plugins, theme, business logic, payment, shipping and email templates.
ERP, PIM, tracking, marketplaces, exports, documents and third-party systems.
SEO URLs, redirects, indexing, test plans, cutover and post-launch checks.
A target architecture, test migrations and acceptance criteria reduce uncertainty before the live shop is switched.
Data, functionality and technical dependencies are made visible.
Every relevant function receives a defined Shopware 6 solution.
Data and custom functionality are built in a separate environment.
The controlled cutover follows functional testing and data validation.
An established shop contains custom extensions, complex product data and several business-critical integrations.
Plugins and customisations are reviewed first. Required functions receive a Shopware 6 target architecture and repeated test migrations.
The migration becomes a sequence of controllable work packages, exposing risk before rather than after go-live.
Clear answers about the process, prerequisites and collaboration, based on common Shopware project questions.
Standard data can often be transferred. Whether every custom function should be migrated or redesigned requires an inventory.
They are typically part of the data mapping. Scope and data quality are clarified first.
Each relevant plugin is mapped to a successor, standard feature, new development or deliberate removal.
Important URLs and redirects are included in a dedicated SEO migration concept.
Yes. The new system is built separately and the final data sync and cutover are planned.
A credible estimate requires knowledge of data volume, plugins, custom functions and integrations.
