Migrate to Shopware 6 without losing anything
Products, orders, customers, SEO URLs and custom logic — migrated cleanly from Shopware 5 to 6 with rankings and links intact.
// What you get
What a safe migration includes
SEO URL redirects
Every old URL mapped to a 301 redirect so Google rankings and backlinks survive.
Custom logic rebuild
Shopware 5 plugins and custom features re-implemented cleanly for Shopware 6.
Theme & design
Your look rebuilt on the Shopware 6 theme system — or a fresh, modern redesign.
Staging & testing
Full migration rehearsed on staging and tested before go-live.
Go-live & aftercare
Controlled switch-over with monitoring and support in the critical first days.
// Why it matters
Migration is where rankings are won or lost
The biggest risk in moving from Shopware 5 to 6 is losing your SEO — old URLs disappear, redirects are forgotten, and months of ranking vanish. Codewerk Solutions has done exactly this migration before. We map every old URL to a 301 redirect, migrate products, orders and customers with integrity checks, and rebuild your custom logic properly for Shopware 6 — all rehearsed on staging first.
You go live on a modern, faster, future-proof Shopware 6 shop with your SEO intact and your data complete — and a team that stays on for maintenance, updates and optimisation afterwards.

Technology, performance and SEO
What we actually do under the hood — so you can judge the work, not just the promise.
Technology & architecture
Shopware 5 and 6 are two different products — Smarty vs Twig, Enlight vs Symfony. Nothing is upgraded; everything is rebuilt. We inventory every plugin, template override and custom entity first and decide per item: covered by the SW6 core, replaced, rebuilt, or dropped.
Data & integrity
Products, variants, properties, media, customers, orders and custom fields are migrated with integrity checks and a full dry run on staging using a production copy. You will find broken variant mappings and duplicate customers on that first run — everyone does. Go-live is then boring, which is the goal.
SEO & discoverability
This is where migrations are won or lost. We export every indexed URL before the move, map each one to its Shopware 6 equivalent and ship 301 redirects on day one. Structured data, canonicals, sitemap and hreflang are rebuilt, and rankings are monitored daily for the first four weeks.
// Process

Six steps, one dry run, zero lost rankings.

Go-live
Delta migration, DNS switch, 301s live, rankings monitored daily for four weeks.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Not if the redirect map is complete. We export every indexed URL, map it to the new structure and ship 301s at go-live. Shops that lose rankings in a migration lost them because nobody built that map — it is preventable work, not bad luck.
Typically 3–5 months for a customised B2B shop with an ERP connection. The variable is not the data — it is how many plugins and custom features have to be rebuilt. That is why we do the inventory before quoting.
Yes. The old shop stays live and untouched until the switch-over. We migrate onto staging, rehearse the data run, and the final delta migration happens in the go-live window with a rollback path ready.
