Shopware 6 Migration: Enhance Your Business with the Latest Platform Version
Shopware 5 is great, but your store will perform even better with a Shopware 6 upgrade.
Level up your business conveniently with experts from Dinarys!
Main reasons
for a Shopware upgrade
Having a store on Shopware 5, you can get used to the extensive marketing opportunities, multi-channel sales capabilities, stability, and reliability of this platform. However, high competitiveness in the e-commerce segment gives rise to new, more modern solutions, one of which is the next version of Shopware — Shopware 6. Why should you consider switching?
New framework
The improved architecture of Shopware 6 gives a brand-new experience in scalability and performance. Shopware 6 shows better results in processing large product catalogs and increasing traffic without sacrificing speed.
Improved performance and security
The new architecture improves loading times and overall site performance, which should lead to higher conversion rates. Updated security protocols in Shopware 6 also help to protect your store from vulnerabilities, providing a safer shopping environment for customers.
Brand-new Shopping Experiences
Shopware 6 introduces “Shopping Experiences,” replacing the previous “Shopping Worlds.” This feature provides deeper customization of the shopping journey, enabling merchants to create tailored layouts and content blocks to enhance customer engagement.
User-friendly interface
The admin panel in Shopware 6 has been redesigned so that users can manage their stores more intuitively and efficiently. The logical interface streamlines workflows and reduces the learning curve for new users, improving their experience.
Advanced features
Shopware 6 introduces Rule Builder, which allows merchants to create complex rules for pricing, promotions, and visibility based on various conditions and gives them wider control over the customer experience.
Better API support
Extended API support in Shopware 6 allows retailers to realize the benefits of headless commerce by integrating various external front-end frameworks while using Shopware as a reliable back-end solution.
Comprehensive migration tools
Shopware 5 to 6 migration is facilitated by structured tools and processes that help ensure a smooth transition of existing data, including product information, customer data, and settings. This minimizes downtime and disruption during migration.
Ongoing support and updates
As Shopware continues to evolve, migrating to the latest version ensures access to ongoing updates, new features, and support from the community and developers. With migration, Shopware 6 will future-proof your online business.

Set your requirementsFAQ for Shopware 5 to 6 migration
Shopware is a flexible, robust, and reliable e-commerce platform that’s ideal for companies with high customization and functionality requirements.
It is a stable and reliable solution with a well-developed B2B commerce segment, making it perfect for corporate clients. In addition, Shopware meets high data protection standards, and its localization for the German market makes the platform convenient for the DACH region.
Upgrading to Shopware 6 is a worthwhile investment in the future of your business. If you stay with Shopware 5, your online store may face a lack of support (as developers are phasing out support for older Shopware versions), limited features (as improvements are only available in new Shopware versions), and compatibility issues (which may arise between older Shopware versions and newer browsers, plug-ins, and other technologies).
Before transitioning to Shopware 6, create migration plan and a full backup of your current store so you can restore data in case of unforeseen situations. Test all migration processes on a test environment, not on a live store. And most importantly, choose a reliable partner to help you with the migration.
