What really hurts during a replatform

We know the typical migration traps from projects like Bike-Discount: plugin sprawl, untested customisations, missing SEO maps and ERP integrations nobody documented. When cutover goes wrong, every hour of downtime costs real money.

Our four-phase approach

  • 1. Analysis & discovery

    We take your Shopware 5 shop apart: plugins, templates, database schema, integrations, SEO status. By the end you have an honest assessment of what to migrate, what to rebuild and what to finally retire.

  • 2. Data migration

    We migrate customers, orders, products, categories and media with clear mappings. Test runs against your real data make sure cutover has no surprises.

  • 3. Parallel build

    While Shopware 5 keeps running, we build Shopware 6 including custom plugins, ERP integration and a new theme. You can test the new shop long before it goes live.

  • 4. Monitored cutover

    Go-live runs with defined rollback points, logging and monitoring. We pay special attention to 301 redirects, hreflang and structured data so your rankings stay stable.

Proven with Bike-Discount, Mellerud and others

We have moved shops with tens of thousands of SKUs and ERP integrations to DiVA and DiVA BC successfully to Shopware 6. We are happy to walk you through references and approach in a first call.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I have to migrate from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6?
Shopware 5 has been end-of-life since July 2024 – no more security or feature updates. Without migrating, security risks grow, plugins stop being maintained and new features stay out of reach. Shopware 6 is the long-term supported base.
How long does a Shopware migration take?
It depends on data volume, plugin landscape and integrations – typical projects run from a few weeks to several months. In the discovery phase we give you a solid estimate instead of a blanket figure.
Will I lose my SEO rankings during the migration?
Not if redirects are mapped cleanly. We set up 301 redirects for every old URL, carry over meta data, hreflang and structured data, and monitor rankings at cutover. This is exactly where sloppy migrations fail.
Are orders, customers and products carried over?
Yes. We migrate customers, order history, products, categories and media with clear mappings and test the migration against your real data before the shop goes live.
Does my shop go offline during the migration?
No. We build Shopware 6 in parallel while Shopware 5 keeps running. Cutover happens with defined rollback points – the goal is a switch without any noticeable revenue drop.
What does a Shopware migration cost?
The price is driven by data volume, the number of custom plugins and integrations. Instead of a ballpark number we run an analysis and tell you effort and risk openly – including what isn't worth migrating.
Which agency helps wholesalers with Shopware migration and ERP integration?
Wholesalers need an agency that thinks migration and ERP integration together. We migrate your shop to Shopware 6 and connect it to ERP systems like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage or proALPHA – including price lists, tiers and order data. At Bike-Discount exactly this runs in live operation.
How does a Shopware migration for wholesalers work?
In four steps: analysis of data and interfaces, a concept with edition choice and data model, build with migration, ERP/PIM integration and testing, then go-live with monitoring. Order data, customer accounts and price lists are carried over without loss – with no noticeable revenue drop at cutover.
