Why move to Shopware 6
Shopware 5 is being phased out. Shopware 6 brings a new architecture, new features and continued updates.
New architecture
A new architecture designed for large product catalogs and growing traffic, with updated security protocols.
Shopping Experiences
Shopping Experiences replace Shopping Worlds and let your team build tailored page layouts and content blocks.
Rule Builder
Create rules for prices, promotions and product visibility based on the conditions you define in the admin.
API-first architecture
Extended APIs connect Shopware to external frontends and systems, so you can gain the benefits of composable commerce.
Shopware 6 migration use cases
Moving from Shopware 5 to 6 pays off when your store needs updates, features or plugins that Shopware 5 no longer gets.
Typical situations where Shopware 6 migration delivers the most value:
-
Shopware 5 losing support
Your store still runs on Shopware 5, and security fixes, plugin updates and new features now come only for Shopware 6.
-
Plugins with no Shopware 6 version
Your store relies on plugins that have no Shopware 6 version, so each must be replaced, rebuilt or dropped.
-
Custom fields and legacy data
Years of free text fields and custom attributes must become Shopware 6 properties without breaking filters or product pages.
-
A theme that needs a rebuild
Your Shopware 5 theme and Shopping Worlds cannot move as they are, and you want a refreshed storefront anyway.
-
ERP and shipping integrations
Your Shopware 5 store exchanges orders, stock and prices with ERP, CRM or shipping tools that must keep working on Shopware 6.
-
Rules your team sets by hand
Staff adjust prices, promotions and product visibility manually, and you want Rule Builder to handle those conditions instead.

Plan your Shopware 6 migration
Discuss your migrationShopware 5 to 6 migration FAQ
Shopware 5 is being phased out. Staying on it means less support, no new features and growing compatibility issues with browsers, plugins and other technologies.
It depends on the size of your catalog, the number of plugins and integrations, and whether you rebuild or redesign the theme. We give a timeline after the assessment.
The cost depends on data volume, the plugins and theme to rebuild, integrations and testing. We estimate after reviewing your Shopware 5 store.
Not as they are. Shopware 6 needs new plugin versions and a rebuilt theme, so we replace, rebuild or retire each plugin and recreate your design.
Your Shopware 5 store keeps selling while we migrate and test. The switchover is planned for a short, low-traffic window.
We make a migration plan and a full backup of your store, test every step on a test environment and encrypt data in transit.
