Switching from Shopware 5 to 6: What you need to consider
The Shopware 5 to 6 migration comes with its challenges and there are many points that you should definitely consider during a migration. The migration project therefore requires thorough planning, preparation and implementation to ensure that the process runs as smoothly as possible and that the new Shopware 6 store meets the desired requirements. Special attention must be paid to the following topics:
What data can be transferred? In theory, a migration from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 means a complete transfer of data from the old system to the new one. In practice, however, there are huge differences depending on the provider as to which data can actually be transferred. It is important to find a tool that can migrate as much of your existing data as possible and is not limited to basic data.
How much data can be transferred? Closely linked to the question of which data should be migrated is the question of how to handle large volumes of data. Companies that need to move particularly large and complex data sets should choose a provider that can handle this, who can handle this.
How quickly can the data be transferred? There are many providers on the market that you can use to migrate from Shopware 5 to 6. There are sometimes considerable differences in the speed of data transfer. An important point that you should should take into account in the decision-making process.
Many plugins that were developed for Shopware 5 are no longer available for Shopware 6. It is therefore important to check whether all plugins from your Shopware 5 store also exist for Shopware 6 and, if necessary, to find or develop suitable alternatives. It is also important to note that the features of Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 are fundamentally different. The database design has changed completely in Shopware.
If your Shopware 5 store contains individual developments, these must also be updated for your Shopware 6 store. This can include both code changes as well as adjustments to the data structure.
As the theme system has changed completely between Shopware 5 and Shopware 6, existing themes must be adapted to the new version or created from scratch. It is important to ensure that the appearance and user experience remain consistent.
Migration can be a real hurdle, especially for companies with large product catalogs or individual customizations. Without a partner, a supposedly simple migration can quickly turn into a mammoth task. We know the challenges and have developed a solution to help you overcome them:

How the Shopware 6 migration with synQup works
From analyzing the requirements to implementation, we work closely with our customers and ensure a smooth migration to Shopware 6 A Shopware 5 to 6 migration with synQup usually proceeds as follows:
Requirement Engineering
Every professionally conducted Shopware 6 migration begins with an initial assessment. In the first step, we perform a thorough analysis of the
source and target systems. We start by examining the existing Shopware 5 project, including all data and plugins.
Then, we take a look at the new Shopware 6 project to determine which functions from the Shopware 5 project are already present. This is relevant
because customers often want to use the same functions in Shopware 6, but these may be structured differently due to different data fields and
process chains.
Roadmap
After completing the requirement engineering, we create a detailed roadmap for transferring data from Shopware 5 to 6. We use the synQup Flow
Manager to transport, prepare, and convert the data accordingly.
We also identify the subset of data that cannot be transferred without adjustments, such as shopping world pages, and create an individual offer for
the customer in these cases. We are also happy to check which e-commerce processes are generally present and how data transfer between other systems
can be optimized via synQup. For customers who wish, we offer a proof of concept (POC) to demonstrate feasibility.
Migration and Data Transfer
Once the roadmap is created and approved by the customer, the actual migration from Shopware 5 to 6 begins. To minimize downtime during data
transfer, we use a multi-stage intelligent messaging queue. This messaging queue continuously monitors the data transfer process, ensuring data is
transmitted cleanly and reliably. Additionally, we configure cron jobs to continuously trigger the processes and ensure the transfer continues even
if the service fails.
Our security measures protect data from unauthorized access through SSL encryption, REST APIs with authentication procedures, and 24/7 security
scans. Critical data is additionally encrypted at the field level. In case of data conflicts or inconsistencies during migration, synQup uses
validation engines to ensure correct data transmission. Our reporting tool logs all transactions and provides an intelligent API-based retry
procedure to ensure smooth data transfer and minimize downtime.
Post-Migration Support
Even after the Shopware 6 migration, the synQup team is available to assist. We offer support and assistance to ensure your Shopware platform runs
smoothly and remains compatible with external systems.
Thanks to our highly flexible system architecture, which is designed for adjustments, we can easily make changes via our Flow Engine and JSON
configurations to ensure compatibility with external systems. Our continuous support ensures that the Shopware 6 shop runs optimally even after
migration and meets the respective requirements. This is why we often hear from developers: “If I had the chance to develop a system like synQup, I
would have done it exactly this way.”
