For many years, OXID eShop has been a trusted platform for businesses that wanted to build and manage flexible online stores. It has offered a solid, German-engineered foundation that many merchants valued for its stability and its ability to support both B2C and B2B operations. OXID gave businesses the freedom to develop custom solutions that matched their specific needs. It provided a reliable toolkit to create tailored e-commerce experiences.
However, as e-commerce has continued to evolve, many businesses have started to feel the limits of OXID. What once seemed like flexibility now often feels like complexity. Keeping the platform up to date has become more challenging. Managing customizations can consume more time and budget than expected. Integrating OXID with modern systems like CRMs, ERPs, or PIMs has become a headache for many businesses. And as customer expectations have shifted toward seamless, mobile-first experiences, merchants using OXID sometimes struggle to keep up.
Perhaps your business has found it difficult to maintain a fast, responsive store on OXID, especially as your catalog and traffic have grown. Maybe development costs have increased because making changes or adding features takes more effort. You might have tried to integrate new tools or services, only to find that OXID’s architecture made the process more difficult than it should be. Or you may simply feel that your store is no longer as competitive as you want it to be, and that OXID is holding you back from delivering the experience your customers expect.
Whatever your specific situation, many merchants today are recognizing the need for change. They are looking for a platform that allows them to move faster, innovate more easily, and scale without the constant technical friction that can come with older systems. This is where Shopware 6 offers a fresh alternative.
Shopware 6 is a modern e-commerce platform that is designed to meet the needs of today’s businesses. It combines flexibility with simplicity. It offers powerful native features alongside the freedom to create custom solutions. Its architecture is built for the future, with an API-first structure that allows clean integrations with CRMs, ERPs, PIMs, marketing automation tools, and other systems. It uses a technology stack that supports fast performance, easy scaling, and ongoing innovation.
One of the key strengths of Shopware 6 is that it is built with both technical teams and business users in mind. Developers can take advantage of its API-first design, clean codebase, and modular structure to build reliable custom features. At the same time, business teams can use intuitive tools like Shopping Experiences and the rule builder to create rich content, manage promotions, and adjust store logic without needing constant developer input. This balance helps businesses move faster and work smarter.
Migrating from OXID to Shopware 6 gives your business the opportunity to break free from outdated structures. It allows you to leave behind the complexity and limitations of your current platform and move toward a solution that supports growth, speed, and innovation. It is a chance to rethink your store’s architecture, improve your customer experience, and position your business for success in the competitive world of modern e-commerce.
At solution25, we understand that migrating your store is not just about changing software. Your store reflects your brand, your team’s hard work, and your commitment to your customers. Our job is to ensure that your move to Shopware 6 protects everything you have built while unlocking new opportunities for growth. We approach each migration with care, precision, and a deep understanding of both the technical and business aspects of the process.
Our team begins by listening. We want to understand your current challenges, your goals, and your vision for the future. We perform a detailed review of your OXID store, looking at your product catalog, customer records, order history, custom features, integrations, and SEO structure. We assess what is working well, what could be improved, and what might be holding you back. From there, we create a migration plan that is tailored to your business.
This plan is not just a technical checklist. It is a roadmap that aligns with your business goals. It identifies what data will be migrated, what custom features will be rebuilt, and where improvements can be made. It defines a timeline that fits your needs and a process that minimizes disruption. Our goal is to make sure your migration is smooth, efficient, and focused on delivering value at every step.
Migrating from OXID to Shopware 6 is not just about preserving what you have. It is a chance to make your store stronger. It is a moment to clean up your data, optimize your product catalog, refresh your design, and build a site that better supports your sales and marketing efforts. It is an opportunity to take advantage of Shopware 6’s modern tools to create more engaging shopping experiences, improve your SEO, and deliver the kind of fast, seamless service that keeps customers coming back.
We believe that migration is not a challenge to overcome. It is an opportunity to take your business to the next level. With solution25 as your partner, you gain more than a team of developers. You gain a team that is invested in helping your store succeed long after the migration is complete. We provide not only technical expertise, but also strategic guidance, training, and ongoing support. We help you make the most of Shopware 6’s capabilities so your store is ready for whatever comes next.
Now is the time to consider what your store needs to stay competitive, flexible, and ready for the future. Shopware 6 offers the tools and architecture to help you get there. And solution25 is here to help you make the move with confidence. Together, we can build a store that not only reflects your brand but also supports your growth for years to come.
Migrating from OXID to Shopware 6 is not just about switching platforms. It is about transforming the way your store operates so it can support your business as it grows. OXID and Shopware take very different approaches to e-commerce. While OXID provides a capable system for businesses with technical teams or agencies maintaining the platform, Shopware 6 offers a more modern foundation that is easier to work with, extend, and scale.
The first step in any migration is to understand what needs to be moved. With OXID, this usually includes:
At solution25, we start with a detailed audit of your OXID store. We map every piece of data to Shopware 6’s structure. For example, OXID’s category and article system is aligned with Shopware’s product and category models. Attributes and variations are matched to Shopware’s configurable products structure. This ensures data is preserved accurately and functions correctly in your new store.
Migrating is the perfect opportunity to clean your data and set your store up for easier management. Over time, OXID stores accumulate outdated products, redundant categories, and inactive customer accounts. We help you identify what should be removed, archived, or refreshed.
We also assist with standardizing product names, attributes, and descriptions, optimizing images, and improving category structures. The result is a cleaner, faster, and more efficient store that is easier to navigate for both customers and your team.
Many OXID stores use custom modules or templates to add features or change functionality. Often these customizations become difficult to manage over time, especially as the platform ages or as your business requirements evolve.
With Shopware 6, many of the features that required custom development in OXID are available natively or can be added easily through plugins. For example:
Our team reviews each of your customizations and develops a plan to recreate or replace them in Shopware 6, improving maintainability and performance.
A migration is the perfect time to refresh your store’s design. Shopware 6 offers tools that make it easy to create a modern, mobile-friendly shopping experience. Shopping Experiences lets you build pages visually, combining banners, videos, product carousels, and text in flexible layouts.
We help you redesign your store so that it aligns with your brand, supports your sales goals, and makes it easy for customers to find what they want. The result is a store that not only looks better but converts better too.
We understand how valuable your SEO strength is. Our team ensures that your SEO data — including URLs, meta data, and structured content — is preserved. Where URLs change, we implement 301 redirects to protect your rankings. We validate that your Shopware 6 store is optimized for mobile performance, technical SEO, and fast loading, giving you a solid foundation for future growth.
Before going live, we perform extensive testing to verify that your data is accurate, your features work as expected, and your store performs well under load. We coordinate the launch carefully to minimize disruption, monitor your store during and after the switch, and provide immediate support if needed.
After launch, we continue to support your business with training, optimization, and technical assistance as you grow.
For many businesses, OXID eShop has provided a stable and capable platform for building and managing their online stores. It has offered flexibility and reliable tools, particularly for merchants operating in B2B or B2C sectors. However, as e-commerce continues to change at a rapid pace, many companies using OXID are discovering that their current platform is starting to feel restrictive. Whether it is the challenge of integrating with modern systems, the rising cost of maintaining custom features, or the difficulty of delivering the kind of seamless, mobile-friendly experience today’s customers expect, it has become clear that moving forward means moving to something better.
This is where Shopware 6 stands out. Shopware 6 is a platform built for modern commerce. It combines flexibility with ease of use, advanced functionality with simplicity, and future-ready architecture with practical tools that support growth. Upgrading from OXID to Shopware 6 is not just about switching technology. It is about choosing a solution that allows your business to adapt, scale, and innovate more easily. Let’s explore the key reasons why this move is a smart decision.
One of the most powerful advantages of Shopware 6 is its API-first design. OXID stores often face challenges when trying to integrate with modern business systems. Connecting to CRMs, ERPs, PIMs, or marketing automation tools can require workarounds or complex custom development. Shopware 6 solves this with an architecture that is built to connect cleanly to other systems.
This API-first structure allows your data to flow smoothly between platforms. You can link your store to your ERP or CRM without needing to build complicated bridges. This eliminates the need for duplicate work, reduces errors, and makes your operations more efficient.
An API-first platform also gives you more freedom. Many businesses moving from OXID to Shopware 6 use this structure to create mobile apps that pull live data from the Shopware backend. Others use it to build custom frontends, creating unique shopping experiences that run on top of Shopware as the engine. This makes it easier to explore headless commerce, where your backend and frontend are independent. You gain the flexibility to present your brand in creative ways across different devices and platforms.
The technology behind Shopware 6 is designed for today’s needs. Shopware 6 uses Symfony, a respected PHP framework known for its reliability, performance, and security. On the frontend, it uses Vue.js, a modern JavaScript framework that allows developers to create fast, interactive, and user-friendly interfaces.
This modern stack offers real benefits for your business. Developers find it easier to work with, which means adding features or making adjustments takes less time and costs less. Shopware 6 is also built to scale. As your store grows in size, complexity, and traffic, the platform can handle that growth without becoming a bottleneck. The clean, modern codebase ensures that your store stays up to date, secure, and ready for the future.
For businesses moving from OXID, this means you can leave behind older technologies that may have required heavy customization just to stay competitive and move toward a platform that makes innovation easier.
Shopware 6 puts the focus on creating a great customer experience. Today’s shoppers expect stores that work perfectly on any device, load quickly, and feel tailored to their needs. Shopware 6 provides the tools to deliver this.
Its Shopping Experiences feature allows you to design pages visually, using a drag-and-drop editor. You can combine products, text, images, videos, banners, and more into rich content pages without needing a developer for every update. This lets your marketing team build and adjust landing pages, product highlights, and campaigns faster and with less technical support.
You can also personalize the experience for shoppers. Shopware 6 allows you to highlight products based on customer behavior, location, or preferences. This helps increase conversions and keep customers coming back. With Shopware 6, delivering the kind of modern, engaging experience that today’s customers expect becomes far easier.
For businesses using OXID that want to expand internationally, Shopware 6 offers tools to make that process smoother. Shopware 6 has built-in support for multiple languages, currencies, tax rules, and pricing models. You can manage different regional storefronts from a single backend while providing tailored experiences for each market.
This central control makes managing international stores more efficient. You can maintain consistency in your branding while adjusting offers and rules for local preferences. Flexible shipping and pricing rules allow you to provide different delivery options or promotions based on where your customers are located. Shopware 6 helps businesses unlock new growth opportunities by making cross-border e-commerce easier to manage.
Security is a growing concern for all online businesses. Staying on older platforms increases risk because security patches and updates become less frequent or stop altogether. Shopware 6 is actively maintained and updated to address new threats and challenges.
Upgrading to Shopware 6 helps you meet data protection standards, including GDPR. Shopware 6 is built with security and privacy in mind. It includes secure payment options, data encryption, and access control features. This makes it easier for your business to pass audits and provide customers with the confidence that their data is safe.
Migrating from OXID to Shopware 6 is more than a technical upgrade. It is a chance to build a smarter, more flexible, and more competitive store. Shopware 6 helps you reduce complexity, lower costs, and move faster. At solution25, we help you make this migration with care, precision, and a focus on long-term success. Together, we can help your store not just keep up with change, but lead the way.
Migrating from OXID eShop to Shopware 6 is a strategic move that can shape your business’s future. It is not just a technical exercise. It is a business-critical decision that impacts your operations, your customers, and your ability to grow and adapt. A successful migration requires careful planning, precise execution, and a partner who understands both your technology and your goals.
At solution25, we approach every migration with the care it deserves. While many businesses are familiar with migrations like Shopware 5 to Shopware 6, moving from OXID to Shopware 6 presents its own challenges and opportunities. The platforms have different structures, technologies, and ways of handling data. This makes thorough planning even more important to ensure that everything you value in your store is preserved and enhanced.
Every migration begins with planning. A well-planned migration reduces risk, minimizes disruption, and sets your store up for long-term success. At solution25, we start with a detailed review of your OXID store. We look at your product catalog, customer records, order history, custom features, integrations, and SEO structure. This helps us understand what is essential to your business.
We also take the time to learn about your goals. Are you migrating to improve performance? Are you looking to simplify management or add features that were difficult or costly to build on OXID? Are you preparing to expand into new markets or channels? Understanding these goals allows us to create a plan that not only preserves what works but also positions your store for future success.
We then create a migration roadmap that outlines each step of the process. This includes assigning responsibilities, setting timelines, and coordinating with your team to choose a launch window that minimizes disruption. Our goal is to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible.
One of the key differences between migrating from OXID and migrating from Shopware 5 is how data must be mapped and cleaned. OXID and Shopware 6 use very different data structures, so careful preparation is essential.
We start by reviewing your data. This includes products, categories, customer accounts, orders, and content. We identify and help you remove outdated or unnecessary entries so that your new store is cleaner and easier to manage.
We then map your data to the Shopware 6 structure. This ensures that nothing gets lost or misplaced during migration. For SEO, we pay special attention to URLs, meta tags, and structured data. We set up redirects where necessary to protect your search rankings and ensure that customers and search engines can find your content. Our team double-checks every detail for accuracy and completeness.
The data preparation phase is also a chance to improve. We can help you standardize product descriptions, optimize images for faster load times, and restructure categories to make your catalog clearer and easier for customers to navigate.
Many OXID stores include custom features or modules that were created to meet specific business needs. These cannot be simply copied into Shopware 6. The technology and architecture are too different. Instead, they must be reviewed, adapted, or rebuilt using Shopware 6’s modern tools.
Our team starts by analyzing all your custom modules, templates, and integrations. We determine which features are still valuable, which can be replaced by built-in Shopware 6 functionality, and which need to be redeveloped. When we rebuild, we use Shopware 6’s API-first architecture and coding standards. This ensures that your features are stable, efficient, and easier to maintain going forward.
Migration is also a chance to improve these customizations. We can simplify them, enhance their functionality, or rework their design to better support your business goals.
Shopware 6 gives you powerful tools to create a modern, flexible storefront. Migration from OXID is the perfect opportunity to refresh your design and enhance the customer experience.
Our design team works with you to create a store that looks great and helps you achieve your goals. We focus on creating a responsive design that works perfectly on mobile, tablet, and desktop. We use Shopware’s Shopping Experiences editor to build engaging pages that blend content and products in creative ways.
We also help you rethink how your store tells your brand story. From landing pages to product listings, we ensure that every element works together to deliver a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience that builds trust and encourages loyalty.
No migration is complete without thorough testing. Moving from OXID to Shopware 6 means many data relationships, features, and integrations must be checked carefully.
Our team tests data accuracy, ensuring that products, customers, orders, and content have been migrated correctly. We test store functionality, including search, filters, checkout, and account management. We review performance to ensure fast load times and smooth operation even during peak traffic.
SEO is another critical area we verify. We check that redirects work, structured data is correct, and key pages are indexed, helping protect your search rankings.
When the new store is ready, we plan the launch carefully. We coordinate with your team to choose a go-live time that minimizes disruption, often during low-traffic hours. We monitor your store closely during and after launch, ready to address any issues immediately.
Our support continues long after the migration is complete. We provide training for your team, help you make the most of Shopware 6’s tools, and offer ongoing optimization services. Our goal is to help your business not just migrate but thrive on Shopware 6.
Choosing the right partner for your OXID to Shopware 6 migration is one of the most important decisions you will make during this transition. Migration is not simply about moving data from one system to another. It is about protecting your business, ensuring continuity, preserving customer trust, and unlocking new opportunities for growth. At solution25, we understand that this process is about much more than technology. It is about setting your business up for long-term success in a fast-changing e-commerce world.
When you work with us, you benefit from our experience handling complex migrations for businesses across industries. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every migration starts with a deep understanding of your business model, your current processes, your pain points with OXID, and your goals for the future. This allows us to design a migration plan that meets your unique needs and positions your store for growth.
Our migration service begins with a comprehensive audit of your OXID store. We review your product catalog, customer data, order history, modules, custom code, themes, and third-party integrations. We also look at your SEO structure, marketing setup, and any technical debt that may have built up over time. This audit ensures we capture everything that needs to be migrated, rebuilt, or improved.
Next, we create a custom migration strategy. This is not just a technical plan. It is a roadmap that aligns with your business objectives. We define what data and features will be migrated, what customizations need to be rebuilt for Shopware 6’s modern architecture, and what can be replaced with native Shopware functionality. We also look for ways to optimize your product data, refresh your design, and introduce new features that were difficult or impossible to implement on OXID.
One of the key strengths of solution25 is our ability to combine technical expertise with business insight. Our developers understand both OXID and Shopware 6, which means we can rebuild your custom modules and templates so they work seamlessly on the new platform. We do not simply transfer code. We enhance it to ensure it is clean, efficient, and future-proof.
SEO preservation is a top priority during migration. We take care to map your URLs, maintain meta data, and set up proper redirects. We understand how valuable your search visibility is, and we take every step to protect and even improve it during the move.
Our migration process is designed to minimize downtime and disruption. We work with your team to schedule key steps so that your business stays operational and your customers experience a smooth transition. When it is time to go live, we manage the switchover carefully and provide immediate support to address any issues that arise.
Our support does not stop at launch. We provide post-migration assistance and continue as a long-term partner. We offer training so your team can make the most of Shopware 6’s tools. We monitor your store’s performance and help fine-tune it for speed, usability, and conversions. We are also here to assist as you expand your store, add new features, or explore new markets.
What sets solution25 apart is our commitment to your success. We do not just migrate your store. We help you build a stronger, smarter foundation for the future. When you choose solution25, you gain a partner who is invested in helping your business thrive on Shopware 6 — today and for years to come.
Here’s what our migration process delivers:
Migrating from OXID eShop to Shopware 6 represents a major step forward for your business. This is not simply about moving from one technology to another. It is about preparing your store to meet the demands of modern e-commerce and building a foundation that will support your growth, innovation, and resilience for years to come. For many businesses, the decision to move away from OXID is driven by a desire to reduce complexity, lower costs, and create an online store that is easier to manage, faster to adapt, and better equipped to meet customer expectations.
The e-commerce landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Customers expect more from online stores. They want faster load times, smoother shopping experiences, and personalized interactions that make them feel valued.

How long does it take to migrate from OXID to Shopware 6?
The timeline depends on the size of your store, the complexity of your product catalog, the number of custom modules and integrations, and whether you are redesigning your storefront during the migration. A smaller store with standard features may complete migration in a few weeks. More complex stores with custom code, unique business logic, or new design requirements can take several months. At solution25, we create a clear timeline during planning so you know what to expect and can prepare your team.
Will my SEO be affected during migration?
Protecting your SEO is a top priority when moving from OXID to Shopware 6. We map your URLs carefully, preserve meta data, and set up 301 redirects where needed so search engines can follow your content to its new location. Our team verifies that key pages remain accessible and that your SEO foundation remains intact. In many cases, we identify ways to improve your SEO as part of the migration process.
Can I change my design at the same time as migrating?
Yes, and many businesses choose to do so. Since migration requires rebuilding your store on Shopware 6’s modern architecture, it is the ideal time to refresh your design. This can include updating your brand style, improving mobile responsiveness, or enhancing user experience with better navigation and checkout flows. Shopware 6’s Shopping Experiences tool makes it easy to create a flexible, engaging design without relying heavily on developers for each update.
What happens to my custom modules and integrations?
Custom modules and integrations from OXID cannot be directly copied to Shopware 6 because the platforms have different architectures. Our team reviews all your custom features and integrations. We determine whether they are still needed, whether Shopware 6 has native features or plugins that can replace them, or whether they should be rebuilt. Where redevelopment is needed, we use Shopware 6’s API-first structure to create solutions that are efficient, scalable, and easier to maintain.
Will my customer and order data be safe?
Absolutely. Data integrity is central to our process. We migrate your customer records, order history, product catalog, and content carefully, checking each stage for accuracy. We ensure that relationships between data — such as orders linked to customer accounts — are preserved. Your business history stays intact, so your team can continue to provide excellent service without interruption.
How much downtime should I expect during migration?
Our goal is to keep downtime to a minimum. Most of the migration work happens in a staging environment, so your OXID store remains live while we build and test your new Shopware 6 version. When it is time to switch over, we coordinate the go-live during off-peak hours and monitor the process closely to resolve any issues immediately.
Is migrating to Shopware 6 expensive?
The cost of migration depends on the complexity of your store. Factors include catalog size, custom module redevelopment, integrations, and any design changes. While migration is an investment, it is also an opportunity to improve performance, scalability, and user experience. We provide clear cost estimates during planning so you can budget confidently. Our focus at solution25 is on delivering value that supports your long-term success.
Do I need to train my team to use Shopware 6?
Shopware 6 is designed to be user-friendly, but it introduces new tools and workflows. Some training is recommended so your team can take full advantage of its capabilities. As part of our service, solution25 provides tailored training to help your team manage products, orders, content, and marketing tools with confidence from day one.
What kind of support will I get after migration?
Our partnership does not end when your store goes live. We provide post-migration support that includes technical assistance, performance monitoring, and guidance on new features and optimizations. Whether you need help fine-tuning your store, adding functionality, or exploring new opportunities, we are here to support your success with Shopware 6.
Each migration is handled with the same care, precision, and focus on long-term success.
