FAQ
What happens to my Google SEO rankings during the migration?
We set up 301 redirects mapping legacy Shopware 5 URLs, categories, and product slugs directly to your new Shopware 6 schema. Canonical tags, schema markup, and metadata are fully preserved to safeguard search authority and prevent ranking drops during migration.
Do my Shopware 5 "Shopping Worlds" convert automatically to SW6?
No. Shopware 6 uses a new layout engine called Shopping Experiences (Einkaufswelten). Legacy Shopware 5 layouts do not auto-convert. I manually rebuild your landing pages, banners, and grid structures into fully responsive, mobile-optimized SW6 Shopping Experiences blocks.
What if the official Shopware Migration Assistant plugin stalls or throws errors?
Standard plugins often fail on large databases or custom tables due to connection timeouts. If the Shopware Migration Assistant stalls, I switch to direct Shopware CLI commands, custom SQL queries, and chunked database migration scripts to ensure 100% data integrity without crashes
How do you handle custom SW5 plugins that don't exist on Shopware 6?
I perform a complete plugin compatibility check. If an essential Shopware 5 plugin lacks an official SW6 version, I identify high-performing alternatives from the Shopware Community Store or build custom Shopware 6 plugin extensions tailored to your specific business logic.
Will my store experience any downtime during the store move?
Zero downtime. All data migration, testing, and theme adjustments are completed in a isolated staging environment while your live SW5 store runs normally. On launch day, a final delta data sync captures new orders and users before seamlessly switching DNS to Shopware 6
