Move from Shopware to Shopify.
Shopware is strong in the German-speaking market. Shopify adds hosted checkout, a large app ecosystem and Markets for selling across Europe. We move your data and keep German legal requirements in place.
What changes when you leave Shopware.
Facing a big upgrade anyway?
If you're on Shopware 5 and planning a move to Shopware 6, that is already a re-platform. Compare it with Shopify before you commit.
Hosted and maintained
No servers, PHP versions or plugin updates to manage.
Built for selling abroad
Shopify Markets handles languages, currencies and domains for each country you sell to.
Your data comes with you.
Shopify's own guidance is to import products first, then customers, then historical orders. We follow it and check the result.
Products
Titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices, stock and SEO fields.
Customers
Names, emails, addresses and marketing consent. Passwords can't be moved, so customers sign in again.
Order history
Past orders, imported after products and customers so they link to the right records.
Content
Blog posts, pages, gift cards and store credit where the old platform exports them.
URLs and SEO
A 301 redirect for every old product, category and page URL, plus titles and meta descriptions.
Integrations
ERP, email, reviews and shipping tools reconnected or replaced.
The parts we plan before moving anything.
Plugins and themes
Shopware plugins and custom themes are rebuilt with Shopify apps, theme work or custom code.
Pricing rules
Rule Builder pricing and promotions map to Shopify discounts, Shopify Functions or apps.
German legal pages
Impressum, terms (AGB), withdrawal policy (Widerrufsbelehrung) and privacy policy move across, and checkout wording is checked against German requirements.
Payments
Cards, Klarna and other methods depend on your Shopify Payments country. PayPal connects separately. We confirm the mix before launch.
Planned, rehearsed, then switched.
Your old store keeps selling until the moment we switch the domain.
Map everything
Every product type, plugin, integration, URL and legal page on the old store, and what each becomes on Shopify.
Import and check
Products first, then customers, then order history, so records link up. Then a line-by-line check of the data.
Theme and features
Theme, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping and the apps or custom code that replace old plugins.
Redirect and switch
Redirects for every old URL, test orders, domain switch, sitemap submitted, and a watch on traffic after launch.
Shopware migration questions.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Rankings depend on many things, but the biggest avoidable risk is broken URLs. We redirect every old product, category and page URL to its new address before the domain switch, then submit the new sitemap and watch for errors after launch.
Can the old store keep selling during the migration?
Yes. We build and test on Shopify while the old store runs. Orders placed during the build are brought across in a final sync before the switch.
Can customer passwords be moved?
No. Passwords are stored in a form no platform can read or transfer. Customer accounts move over, and customers sign in again on Shopify.
