Shopware Migration Services: Replatform Without Losing Revenue or SEO

A Shopware migration moves an online store to Shopware 6 from an older Shopware version or from another platform, or moves a store from Shopware to another platform. It covers products, categories, customers, orders, media, content, SEO URLs, custom functionality and integrations. Elogic Commerce treats every Shopware migration as a replatforming project, not a data import.

The Shopware Migration Assistant is an official Shopware tool with profiles for Shopware 5, Magento and other sources. It migrates core commerce data such as customers, customer groups, products, categories, properties, media, orders, newsletter recipients and some content. It does not migrate custom plugins, themes, custom database tables, ERP integrations or most third-party extension data. Elogic Commerce uses the Migration Assistant for standard entities and writes custom scripts for the rest.

Cost depends on catalog size, the number of custom plugins to rebuild, the number of integrations and the storefront scope. Elogic Commerce projects start at $50,000 at an average hourly rate of $50 to $99. A fixed estimate follows a two to three week assessment.

Yes. Elogic Commerce migrates Magento 1, Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce stores to Shopware 6. As an Adobe Commerce Silver Solution Partner, Elogic Commerce knows the Magento data model in depth, which reduces mapping errors. See Magento to Shopware migration.

Yes. Elogic Commerce is a Shopify Plus Partner and an Adobe Commerce Silver Solution Partner. If Shopware no longer fits, Elogic Commerce runs the same method in reverse. The platform recommendation is made after an assessment, not before.

They are inventoried and classified. Standard Shopware 6 features replace some. Marketplace apps or plugins replace others. The rest are rebuilt as Shopware 6 plugins or apps. Most migrations reduce the number of extensions because Shopware 6 covers more natively.

Yes. Elogic Commerce can embed certified Shopware developers and QA into your team while you keep architectural and product ownership, as Wortmann Group did. Or Elogic Commerce can own the full delivery. Both models use the same method.

Yes. Integrations are rebuilt or adapted for the Shopware Admin API and Sync API. This covers SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and NAV, Odoo, Visma, Epicor and Infor, plus Akeneo, Pimcore and inriver. Integration migration is usually the largest workstream in a B2B project.

Magento shared catalogs map to Shopware customer-specific pricing through rules and price lists. Magento company accounts map to B2B Components employee management and roles. Quotes map to quote management, requisition lists to shopping lists, and purchase approvals to approval workflows. Elogic Commerce maps every B2B feature in the assessment and flags gaps that need custom development. See Magento to Shopware migration.

It is a migration. Shopware 6 has a different architecture built on Symfony, with a new data model, a new Twig storefront and a new plugin system. Shopware 5 plugins and themes do not run on Shopware 6. Core commerce data can be transferred with the Shopware Migration Assistant. Custom functionality is rebuilt. See the Shopware 5 to 6 migration page.

A Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 migration for an established B2B or B2C store takes four to six months. The Wortmann Group migration took five months, including one month of stabilization. A Magento to Shopware migration with ERP integration takes five to nine months. A migration from Shopware to Shopify Plus takes three to six months.

Not if the migration is planned. Elogic Commerce maps every legacy URL to a 301 redirect, migrates metadata and canonical tags, keeps internal links and structured data consistent, and validates crawlability before launch. Temporary fluctuation is normal for two to six weeks. Permanent losses come from missing redirects and changed URL structures, which the method prevents.

Yes. Products, customers, orders and content are exported through the source APIs and imported into Shopware 6 with the Sync API or custom scripts. Themes and apps are rebuilt. Shopify Functions and WooCommerce plugins have no direct equivalent, so the logic is re-implemented in Shopware.

Products with variants, properties, custom fields and media; categories and navigation; customers, addresses and customer groups; orders, order history and documents; prices, price rules and promotions; CMS pages and content where a mapping exists; SEO URLs and redirects. Passwords can be migrated for Shopware 5 sources and for some other platforms with hash compatibility.

Parallel workstreams with QA from the first sprint, not the last. Repeated migration dry runs with automated count and checksum validation. A redirect map tested before launch. A cutover runbook with rollback criteria. One dedicated stabilization month. At Wortmann Group, regression coverage progressed alongside development for the whole five months.

Community Edition is free and self-hosted. Rise, Evolve and Beyond add B2B Components, extended support and features. Elogic Commerce maps your requirements, including B2B needs, to the lowest plan that meets them during the assessment. Hosting can be self-managed, Shopware PaaS or Shopware SaaS.

Elogic Commerce plans the cutover for a low-traffic window with a final delta data sync. Typical downtime is under two hours. A read-only mode for the old store can reduce it further. Orders placed during the window are captured and re-synced to the ERP after cutover.

Shopware ended support for Shopware 5 in 2024. A store that still runs Shopware 5 receives no security patches, runs on aging PHP versions and depends on payment plugins that vendors no longer update. Elogic Commerce recommends a migration plan within the next budget cycle for any store still on Shopware 5.
