From Shopware to Shopify instead of another upgrade
Shopware 5 development ended in 2024, and Shopware 6 is a new platform, so moving to it is a migration anyway. If you're rebuilding, do it where servers and updates aren't your job. We move your catalogue, customers, orders and SEO URLs.
Selected large migrations
A few of the larger migrations we've done: a huge catalogue, thousands of redirects and Shopify Plus.

Visit the storeWhy Shopify instead of Shopware 6
Shopware 6 is a good platform if you want your own hosting and lots of custom development. Shopify pays off when you'd rather not deal with that.
No servers or updates
Shopify takes care of hosting, security and new versions. No other big upgrade in a few years.
Selling in several countries
Shopify Markets: languages, currencies, prices and domains from one store.
A checkout that sells
Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. Shopify Payments works in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Apps instead of plugins
Thousands of apps managed in one place. And what doesn't exist, we build.
What we move
We take data from Shopware 5 and 6 through its API and check it product by product.
We move
- Products, variants and properties
- Categories as collections
- Customers and the full order history, matched to products and customers
- Content pages and blog
- SEO URLs as redirects
- Loyalty points and tiers, into our Charm app
We handle differently
- Customer passwords can't be moved from any platform. On Shopify customers sign in with a code sent by email, so there is nothing to set up.
- We rebuild Shopware's Shopping Experiences as theme sections you then edit in the theme editor yourself.
- Shopify allows at most three variant options per product. Extra properties go into metafields and filters.
What replaces your plugins
The most common extensions in Shopware stores and what takes their place on Shopify. Often with our app, but just as well with another one you prefer.
Payments without plugins
Shopify Payments and payment apps in one place.
Unit prices
Price per kilo or litre right in Shopify.
Several markets from one store
Languages, currencies and domains with Shopify Markets.
ERP connection
Through the Shopify API, custom systems included.
Points, tiers and rewards
Balances move over 1:1, birthday and name-day bonuses come after.
Our app CharmEvery URL redirected
Most matched automatically, the unclear ones checked by us.
No add-ons to babysit through updates
Shopify updates itself, and we look after our apps.
Our apps free for the first year
Migrate with us and all our apps are free for the first year, then at a partner discount on prices that are already among the best value on the market. None of it is required. If another app suits you better, we'll set that up. Ours are often the best choice, though: development, support and maintenance are fully in our own hands.
One partner for everything
Shipping, payments, feeds and loyalty from one team. No chasing five different vendors.
Free 24/7 support
A label won't print or an order won't ship? We fix it as part of app support, not at another developer's hourly rate.
No setup fees
We set the apps up for your store during the migration, free of charge. They work from day one.
Ready for AI agents
ChatGPT and AI Mode in Google already find and recommend products for shoppers. Shopify opens your catalogue to them on its own. A migration is the best moment to make your data clean enough for an agent to find and recommend you.
Complete product data
EAN, brand, variants and availability on every product. That is what an agent compares and chooses by.
Descriptions as data, not just text
We move parameters and properties into metafields instead of one block of HTML. An agent reads them without guessing.
Structured data and feeds
Price, availability, shipping and returns in schema.org on every product, and feeds for Google Merchant Center.
How the migration works
Six steps, wherever you're moving from.
Audit
We go through the store, add-ons, integrations and traffic. You get the scope, a date and a price.
Data
We convert the old platform's export or API data and check it product by product.
Theme
A ready-made theme fitted to your brand, or a custom one.
Integrations
Shipping, payments, feeds, accounting, stock and ERP. Built alongside the theme.
Testing and redirects
A map of every old URL, test orders and a check in Search Console.
Launch
We switch the domain with no downtime. After launch we watch rankings and errors and keep improving the store.
