Why switch from JTL to Shopify?
JTL is widely used in German-speaking markets, but the self-hosted shop means your own server management, updates and maintenance, and the storefront is more technical and less conversion-strong than modern SaaS solutions. Shopify takes over hosting and operations and delivers a faster, higher-converting storefront. You keep your JTL-Wawi and simply connect it.
Zero server maintenance
Cloud hosting instead of your own JTL server infrastructure, with no upkeep.
Modern UX
A clean, fast storefront that converts your customers better.
Keep your Wawi
Your JTL-Wawi stays connectable. You lose no backend.
JTL vs. Shopify
A direct comparison of both platforms
| Criterion | Shopify | JTL | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost efficiency | Shopify is predictable; with JTL the shop is free but operation and hosting cost. | ||
| Scalability | Shopify scales the storefront automatically; JTL is strong on inventory but less modern on the frontend. | ||
| Ease of use | Shopify is usable without tech skills; the JTL-Wawi ecosystem is far more complex. | ||
| Low maintenance | Shopify is hosted and maintenance-free, while JTL is self-hosted with ongoing updates. | ||
| Content management | Shopify is more flexible with apps, while JTL is functional but more technical. | ||
| Time to market | Shopify goes live in days, while a JTL setup incl. Wawi takes considerably longer. |

Maintaining JTL-Wawi connection
Many JTL shops use Wawi for inventory management, order processing, and product maintenance.
We connect JTL-Wawi to Shopify via specialized connectors. Your processes remain intact.
Complex product structures
JTL allows very detailed product attributes and variant combinations.
We map all attributes to Shopify variants and metafields. For complex cases, we use specialized apps.
Plugin dependencies
JTL shops often use specific plugins for shipping, payment, or marketing.
We analyze each plugin and find the best Shopify alternative – or develop a custom solution.

We create a complete redirect map and ensure your rankings are preserved.
