Migration to Shopware 6

We move your store from Shopware 5, Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop or a custom platform, keeping your Google rankings, customers and order history.

A migration is much more than moving products. Done badly, the store loses its Google rankings, old links lead to empty pages, customers cannot see their past orders and the site is down for days. That is why we work in stages. For a while the new store runs alongside the old one and receives the same orders, while historical data is moved over in the background. Every old link is redirected to the matching new page, and the final switch happens when traffic is at its lowest.

What you get

  • A review of your current store and a plan for what moves over and how: products, variants, customers and orders
  • A data transfer we can rerun as many times as needed until the result is exactly right
  • Every old link redirected to its new page, so you keep your Google rankings
  • The old and new stores running side by side, so the switch does not interrupt sales
  • A check after the switch: how many products, customers and orders moved over, and whether the numbers match the old system
  • A plan for letting customers know about the move, if needed

When to call us

  • Your current platform cannot keep up with growth, or upgrades keep slipping
  • Magento 1 or WooCommerce has been modified so heavily that it can no longer be updated safely
  • You are still on Shopware 5, which no longer has official support
  • You have several separate stores you want to bring together in one Shopware 6

How we work

We start with a review of your current store, which takes one to two weeks, and then confirm the migration plan with your team. The first trial run happens on a copy of the site, followed by 4 to 8 weeks in which the old and new stores run side by side. The final switch happens when traffic is lowest and usually takes less than half an hour, and for the first 30 days afterwards we are on standby.

Frequently asked questions

No, not if the migration is done properly. Before the switch we list every existing page address and redirect each one to its new counterpart. After the switch we refresh the sitemap and notify Google through Search Console. Traffic from Google usually returns to its previous level within 4 to 8 weeks, and sometimes grows.
