Shopware 5 to 6 Migration – A Planned Switch with Data, Plugins & SEO

The cost depends less on the number of products than on theme, plugins and integrations. Small stores with few extensions can fall under the Starter package from €2,500; we price migrations with a custom theme, several plugins and ERP integration under the Professional package from €8,000, and large stores individually as an Enterprise project. After the free initial consultation and a migration check, you receive a transparent quote.

No, there is no direct update. Shopware 6 is a newly developed platform: data is transferred with the Migration Assistant, while theme and plugins must be rebuilt or replaced. That is why we plan the switch as a project of its own, with a test store.

The data transfer itself is usually the smallest part. The duration depends mainly on how many plugins need to be replaced or rebuilt and whether the theme is redesigned. After the migration check you receive a schedule with a fixed switchover date.

Plugins and themes from Shopware 5 are not compatible with Shopware 6. For each plugin, we check whether Shopware 6 already includes the function, whether there is an extension in the Shopware Store or whether we build it anew. We rebuild your design as a Shopware 6 theme.

There is mainly a risk when URLs change and no redirects are set up. We carry over existing SEO URLs where possible, set up 301 redirects for changed addresses and check Search Console after go-live. That creates good conditions for search engines to reassign your pages cleanly.

No. Your Shopware 5 store keeps running while we build Shopware 6 in parallel in a test store. On the switchover date, we reconcile the latest orders and customers and then switch over – ideally in a quiet time window.
