Why switch from Shopware to Shopify?

Changing requirements – modern solutions

Shopware has been the first choice for many retailers for years – especially in German-speaking countries. But the market is changing. Customers expect lightning-fast stores, seamless mobile experiences, ease of use, and modern features – ideally without constant maintenance, security concerns, or update issues.

Shopify offers you:

  • Maintenance-free infrastructure: Shopify takes care of hosting, security, and updates

  • Future-proof & scalable: Whether 100 or 100,000 orders – Shopify grows with

  • Shorter time-to-market: Intuitive operation & faster development

  • Huge app ecosystem: Thousands of tested extensions for every use case

  • Globally oriented: Ideal for international e-commerce

More than just products: We migrate your entire shop ecosystem

An online store consists not only of products – but of complex, interconnected data, processes, and content. With a professional migration from Shopware to Shopify, we ensure that nothing is lost, all relationships are preserved, and your store functions the same – or even better – after the transition.

We rely on automated tools and manual controls to ensure both data integrity and user experience.

  • Products & Variants

    We transfer all your products with complete information: titles, prices, stock levels, product images, variations such as sizes or colors – e.g., a T-shirt in 5 colors and 3 sizes with individual barcodes and descriptions.

  • Categories & Navigation

    Your categories and subcategories are displayed in Shopify as so-called “Collections” – including all descriptions, SEO texts and the existing menu structure, such as “Furniture > Tables > Dining Tables”.

  • Customer accounts & data

    All registered customer accounts, including addresses, order histories, and tags, will be transferred. Passwords cannot be migrated for security reasons – customers will automatically receive an invitation to create a password.

  • Orders & Transactions

    Your past orders will also be transferred, including product items, billing addresses, payment methods (e.g. Klarna or prepayment) and shipping information – ideal for customer service, analyses and queries.

  • Media, content & CMS pages

    If you wish, we can transfer your content 1:1: e.g., "About us" pages, terms and conditions, shipping information, or blog articles – as well as image galleries, PDF downloads, or embedded YouTube videos on landing pages.

  • Redirects & URL mappings

    To ensure you don't lose visibility on Google, we set up a suitable redirect to the new Shopify structure for each old URL – for example, /category/summerfashion will automatically redirect to /collections/summerfashion.

  • Extensions, Apps & Custom Features

    Whether voucher functions, product configurators or subscription systems – we analyze your Shopware extensions and replace them with suitable Shopify apps or develop our own solutions if required.

  • Tracking, reports & external tools

    Tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or Klaviyo are fully integrated and reconfigured – including a cookie consent solution and GDPR-compliant integration for legally compliant operation.
