Seamless eCommerce Migration to Shopware 6 with solution25

1. What is eCommerce Migration and Why It Matters

eCommerce migration is more than a technical task—it’s a strategic step in your business growth. It refers to moving your online store from one platform to another, such as transitioning from Magento, WooCommerce, or a custom CMS to a modern platform like Shopware 6. While it may seem complex, migration is often essential when your current system limits your potential to scale, improve performance, or deliver a better customer experience.
Think of migration like relocating a physical store. You don’t just move the furniture—you also improve the layout, install better tools, and create a more inviting space for customers. Similarly, eCommerce migration involves moving your product data, customer info, order history, design elements, and features—while upgrading speed, usability, and SEO infrastructure.
Many businesses start small, using platforms that are fast and simple at the beginning. But as product lines expand, traffic increases, and user expectations evolve, the old setup begins to break. Pages load slowly. Admin panels get cluttered. Customers bounce because of bad mobile UX. That’s when migration is not a luxury—but a necessity.
solution25 helps you navigate this process from start to finish. We assess your current store, identify pain points, and tailor a Shopware 6 migration plan to meet your needs. Our goal is not just to migrate your data but to improve the way your store operates day to day.
Benefits of migrating with solution25 include:

• Improved performance and site speed
• Responsive, modern design for mobile and desktop
• Easier content and product management
• SEO-optimized architecture
• Better scalability for growing businesses
• More integrations with third-party tools and services

And don’t worry—you won’t lose your data or search rankings. We ensure a secure, clean transfer of everything you’ve built, without starting from scratch. With the right partner and a platform like Shopware 6, migration becomes a chance to reimagine your store—not just replicate it. And that’s how real growth begins.

2. The Risks of Staying on an Outdated Platform

If you’re still running your store on an outdated eCommerce platform, you’re taking unnecessary risks—financial, technical, and strategic. The longer you wait, the more those risks can cost you in terms of sales, visibility, and customer trust.
One of the most pressing concerns is performance. Older platforms often struggle with speed and compatibility. Pages take longer to load, especially on mobile. Search engines penalize slow websites, which can push you down in search rankings. And users simply leave when a site doesn’t respond quickly—damaging your conversion rates.
Security is another major risk. Unsupported platforms no longer receive updates or patches, making them vulnerable to attacks. Your customer data, transactions, and internal records are exposed. In today’s environment, a single breach can cause irreversible damage to your brand.
Then there’s the issue of functionality. Your current platform may not integrate easily with marketing tools, payment gateways, CRMs, or modern logistics systems. You might be spending more time manually fixing things or relying on outdated plugins that break with every browser update.
And don’t overlook usability. Older admin panels tend to be clunky, limiting your team’s ability to manage products, track inventory, or launch promotions. That slows down decision-making and reduces productivity.
Signs you’ve outgrown your platform:

• Increasing tech support tickets or bugs
• Poor mobile responsiveness
• Limited plugin or integration support
• SEO rankings are dropping
• Admin dashboard is hard to use
• Site crashes during traffic spikes

solution25 helps you get ahead of these issues by proactively migrating your store to Shopware 6 before problems become emergencies. We minimize downtime, preserve all your content and structure, and give you a new setup that’s built for today—and tomorrow. Waiting too long makes migration harder and riskier. If you’re already feeling frustrated with your current system, it’s time to make a change—with a trusted partner guiding the way.

5. Step-by-Step: How solution25 Handles Your Migration

Successful migration is never a one-click process. At solution25, we break the transition into clearly defined phases. This ensures that every part of your online store—data, design, content, and customer experience—makes the move securely and effectively. Our goal is not only to move your store, but to improve it in the process.

• Phase 1: Discovery and Technical Audit We begin by understanding your existing setup. What platform are you on? What are the technical dependencies? What custom features, plugins, or third-party tools do you rely on? We conduct a full audit of your data, URLs, SEO structure, and backend environment. This helps us identify gaps, risks, and opportunities.
• Phase 2: Planning and Strategy After the audit, we create a detailed migration plan. This includes project timelines, tasks, deliverables, and fallback strategies. We also consult with your team to prioritize goals—such as improving site speed, preserving URL structures, or redesigning the homepage.
• Phase 3: Data Mapping and Preparation We extract, clean, and map your store data—including products, categories, attributes, customers, order history, and reviews. Our data specialists ensure accuracy and compatibility with Shopware 6’s database schema. Sensitive data is handled with full security compliance.
• Phase 4: Design Rebuild or Redesign If you want to keep your existing design, we rebuild it within Shopware’s CMS. If you’re ready for a visual upgrade, our design team delivers a responsive layout optimized for mobile, UX, and conversions. We test each screen size to ensure consistency.
• Phase 5: Feature Replication and Development We migrate or redevelop key custom features. Whether it’s a complex filter system, a custom checkout process, or a B2B login flow, we replicate it cleanly in Shopware or develop a plugin that meets your needs.
• Phase 6: Testing and QA We conduct user testing, performance checks, security scans, and SEO audits. We verify that all data has been transferred accurately, and that the new store is fast, functional, and user-friendly.
• Phase 7: Go-Live and Support We coordinate a seamless switch to your new Shopware 6 store, minimizing downtime. Our team remains on standby to fix any post-launch issues and guide you through the first weeks of live operations. With this structure, solution25 eliminates uncertainty and gives you confidence throughout your migration journey.

6. Data You Can Migrate with solution25

One of the most critical components of any eCommerce migration is data. It’s also the area that causes the most concern for business owners. Will my product listings be safe? What about customer accounts, order history, and content pages? At solution25, we treat your data like a digital asset—and we migrate it with precision and care.

Our approach begins with a detailed data inventory. We map out all the data points in your current store and evaluate how they’ll translate into Shopware 6’s database structure. We don’t take shortcuts, and we don’t rely on one-size-fits-all scripts. Each migration is tailored to your store’s architecture, business logic, and custom fields.

Here’s a list of key data types we migrate:

• Product Catalog: Including SKUs, variants, images, pricing, stock status, categories, tags, and custom attributes.
• Customer Accounts: All profiles, billing and shipping addresses, account creation dates, and login credentials (hashed securely).
• Order History: We import full order records, including items purchased, payment status, customer ID linkage, shipping methods, and past invoices.
• Content Pages: Static pages like About Us, Contact, Return Policies, and FAQs are migrated with full HTML formatting preserved.
• Blog Posts and Articles: We carry over your blog content, metadata, internal links, and images—ensuring no loss of traffic from informational content.
• Product Reviews and Ratings: Customer-submitted reviews, star ratings, timestamps, and moderation status are all preserved.
• SEO Metadata: Meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, open graph data, and structured data are retained or improved.
• URL Redirects: We implement 301 redirects where necessary to maintain your existing search rankings and prevent broken links.
• Custom Fields and Tags: Whether you’ve used platform-specific tags or ERP-linked fields, we ensure they’re preserved or translated properly.

Our process includes multiple verification stages: a test migration, staging environment review, and final live deployment. This allows you to verify accuracy, spot any issues, and ensure data integrity before launch.

We also provide post-migration support for fine-tuning filters, collections, or category structures based on how the data appears and behaves in Shopware 6.

Data is your store’s foundation. solution25 ensures it’s not only preserved—but optimized for your next chapter.

7. Maintaining SEO and Performance During Migration

SEO is one of the most valuable digital assets your business owns. You’ve spent years building your search engine visibility, earning rankings, and acquiring backlinks. A careless migration can destroy that value in days. At solution25, we treat your SEO like a critical part of your brand—and protect it through every step of the migration process.
We begin with a pre-migration SEO audit. This includes identifying your highest-performing pages, evaluating keyword rankings, indexing status, URL structure, and content layout. From there, we plan a strategy to preserve all valuable SEO signals during and after the move to Shopware 6.
Key areas we focus on include:

• URL Preservation Where possible, we maintain the exact same URLs. If a structure change is required, we implement 301 redirects with full mapping from old URLs to new ones.
• Metadata Migration Page titles, meta descriptions, alt tags, and structured data (like product schema and breadcrumb markup) are migrated or recreated with improvements.
• Canonical Tags and Redirect Logic We ensure your store has the correct canonical tags, especially on category and variant pages, to avoid duplication issues.
• Internal Link Structure We replicate or re-map your internal linking so that page authority continues to flow properly across your site.
• Page Speed Optimization Shopware 6 allows for caching, minification, lazy loading, and CDN integration. We use these tools to improve Core Web Vitals scores—key for both SEO and UX.
• Mobile Responsiveness We build your design mobile-first, making sure Google’s mobile index prioritizes your new site positively from launch.
• Sitemap and Robots.txt Management After go-live, we submit new sitemaps and ensure your robots.txt is crawl-friendly. We also use Search Console to monitor crawl errors or warnings.
• Analytics and Tracking Setup We help migrate your tracking scripts, ecommerce goals, and events for platforms like Google Analytics, GA4, Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel.
• Post-Launch SEO Monitoring After your store goes live, we keep monitoring key SEO metrics: rankings, crawl rates, bounce rates, and traffic segmentation. Any issues that emerge are fixed promptly.

In short, we don’t just preserve your rankings—we often improve them. With faster page load times, better markup, and a clean Shopware 6 foundation, your site is set up to outperform its previous version.

8. Custom Features and Design Migration

Every eCommerce store is unique. You’ve likely spent time and resources customizing features that support your workflow, improve customer experience, or enable specific sales strategies. When it comes to migration, preserving or enhancing these customizations is critical—not just for continuity, but for future growth.
At solution25, we do not treat your site like a generic template. We identify all custom features in your current platform and replicate or rebuild them within Shopware 6. We take time to understand the logic behind each function so we can either re-implement it as-is or suggest improvements.
Some common features we migrate include:

• Custom filtering systems for product searches
• Customer group-specific pricing and promotions
• Modified checkout processes (e.g. one-step, B2B approval flows)
• Loyalty or referral programs
• Unique product configurators (for bundles or build-to-order setups)
• Subscription systems or recurring payments
• Warehouse-based shipping logic
• Advanced analytics or dashboard customizations

Whether these features are built with custom code or third-party extensions, we ensure they don’t get lost in migration. In many cases, we rebuild them in a way that performs better on Shopware 6 and is easier to manage.
We also address design migration. If your current layout works well and aligns with your brand, we recreate it responsively. If you’re ready for a visual upgrade, our design team crafts a new layout using Shopware’s powerful CMS tools. Either way, your new store is built to work seamlessly on mobile, desktop, and tablet.
Here is a breakdown of common custom features and how we migrate them:

Feature Type	solution25 Migration Approach
Custom Product Filters	Rebuilt using Shopware’s dynamic filter module
Customer Pricing Rules	Implemented with Shopware rule builder + plugin extensions
Checkout Modifications	Recreated using custom themes and Shopware checkout hooks
Loyalty Programs	Migrated or redeveloped via plugin or custom code
Product Configurators	Built with Shopware’s custom fields and variant logic
CMS Page Layouts	Redesigned using Shopware’s shopping experience builder
Multilingual Support	Language content migrated and connected via translation tools

These migrations aren’t just about functionality—they’re also about reliability. With Shopware 6, your custom features run on a modern, supported codebase. That means fewer bugs, easier updates, and less developer dependence in the long run.
solution25’s team of frontend and backend developers work hand in hand to make sure your store not only looks great but functions exactly as needed—no compromises, no shortcuts.

9. What to Expect After the Migration is Complete

Many clients think migration ends when the new store goes live. In reality, that’s just the beginning. A successful launch is only the first step toward long-term performance, growth, and profitability. At solution25, we offer structured post-migration support to make sure your investment in Shopware 6 continues to pay off.
Performance Monitoring Immediately after launch, we monitor your site for performance, uptime, and user behavior. We use tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, and speed testing platforms to track how your store is performing in real-world conditions. Any emerging issues—like slow-loading pages, broken links, or mobile layout inconsistencies—are identified and resolved quickly.
SEO Validation and Adjustment We track your keyword rankings, traffic patterns, and crawl errors post-launch. Even with careful migration planning, search engines may take some time to adjust. Our team stays on top of these fluctuations and fine-tunes your SEO setup to maintain and improve your rankings. That includes submitting updated sitemaps, monitoring for 404 errors, and refining meta tags where needed.
Customer Experience Feedback Loop We encourage our clients to collect feedback from internal staff and customers during the first few weeks after launch. How does the checkout flow feel? Are any filters not behaving correctly? Does mobile UX meet expectations? We then use this feedback to make incremental improvements.
Training and Admin Support
We provide documentation and hands-on training to your internal team so they can confidently manage the new Shopware environment. Whether it’s uploading new products, launching promotions, or analyzing reports, your team will be prepared. Ongoing Development and Optimization
Need new features? Want to expand into B2B or add subscriptions? We’re here for ongoing enhancements, not just initial setup. Many of our migration clients continue to work with solution25 as they scale into new markets, channels, or business models. Key Post-Migration Services Include:

• Technical support and bug fixes
• Conversion rate optimization (CRO) audits
• Analytics setup and funnel tracking
• Marketing automation integrations
• Performance upgrades and plugin maintenance

In short, going live with your new Shopware 6 store is not the finish line—it’s the start of a more flexible, powerful future. With solution25 by your side, you’ll have access to a full-service team that stays invested in your growth beyond launch day.
