Why switch from Shopware to Shopify?
Shopware is powerful, especially in B2B, but as your shop grows, server costs, update efforts and agency dependency climb noticeably. Every major update turns into a development project of its own. Shopify flips that: hosting and updates run automatically, and you handle standard changes yourself instead of booking the agency for every tweak.
No server maintenance
Shopify handles updates, hosting and patches. You no longer need your own dev team.
Predictable costs
Instead of rising server and maintenance costs, you pay one clear, calculable monthly fee.
Freely scalable
From SMB to enterprise, your shop grows with you, without system changes or plugin dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shopware Migration
Can all Shopware data be migrated?
What happens to my Shopware plugins?
How long does the migration from Shopware take?
Do I need to update Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 first?
What does the migration from Shopware to Shopify cost?
Technical details, explained transparently
Shopware 5 vs. Shopware 6 – different starting points
Shopware 5 and 6 have fundamentally different architectures. SW5 is built on older code, SW6 is completely redeveloped.
We have experience with both versions and know how to optimally export and migrate data to Shopify.
Complex property structures
Shopware allows very complex product properties and variant structures that may exceed Shopify's limits.
We carefully map to Shopify's variant system and use metafields and special apps for more complex products.
Shopping Experiences and CMS content
Shopware's Shopping Experiences are powerful but not directly transferable.
We analyze your most important landing pages and rebuild them with Shopify's section system – often even more performant.
Payment and checkout customizations
Many Shopware shops have heavily customized checkout processes with special payment methods.
Shopify offers similar possibilities with Checkout Extensibility (Plus) or apps. We ensure your flow is preserved.
