Shopware Agency · Migration
Shopware 5 has been end-of-life since July 2024. We move you to Shopware 6 in four clean phases – without losing orders, rankings or margin along the way.
Shopware migration challenges
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.
What matters for Shopware migration
A migration is not a button press but a risk project. What matters is that you know what's coming before cutover: which plugins can be replaced by Shopware 6's built-in features, which customisations have to be rebuilt, and which ERP integration depends on interfaces nobody has touched in years. We do exactly this inventory in the analysis phase, before a single line of code is written. From projects like Bike-Discount and Mellerud we know the typical traps with tens of thousands of SKUs and ERP systems like DiVA. That's how you avoid nasty surprises on go-live day.
What matters most is protecting SEO and data. Every old URL needs a clean redirect, otherwise you lose rankings you built up over years. Orders, customers and products have to be carried over completely and consistently, not through a quick import that loses data. We build Shopware 6 in parallel with your live operation, test the data migration repeatedly and only switch over once everything holds. During cutover we stay with you with active monitoring, so a silent malfunction doesn't surface days later, once the damage is already done.

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 in real high-load operation
We don't migrate test shops but systems where revenue and logistics are on the line every day. That sharpens the eye for exactly the risks that can wreck your cutover.
Migration tested under load
We have moved shops with tens of thousands of SKUs and 6,000 orders a day to Shopware 6. We know what a cutover means in real high-load operation.
ERP depth, not CSV import
We know integrations with systems like DiVA and DiVA BC from live projects. Your grown ERP landscape is not an incalculable risk for us.
SEO and data first
We build the redirect map and test the data migration through before we switch over. That keeps rankings, orders and customers fully intact.
An honest four-phase plan
Instead of fixed-price promises into the blue, you get a clear four-phase plan that names effort and risks openly before we start.
