When should you switch to Shopware? Signs for a change.
In online business, it is crucial that your online shop remains competitive not only today, but also in the future. Even if your current shop system used to meet your and the market's needs, requirements may change over time or new challenges may arise that your existing system can no longer handle efficiently.
But how do you recognise whether it's time for a Shopware migration? These are clear signs that you should switch to Shopware:
Outdated system
If your current shop system no longer meets current requirements and is blocking future growth opportunities, it's time for a change. Outdated systems often no longer offer support and cannot keep pace with the latest technical developments.
Performance problems
Do you regularly experience performance problems that increase your loading times and affect customer satisfaction? A powerful system such as Shopware can provide a remedy and ensure smooth processes.
Lack of scalability
Is your business growing but your current system can't keep up? A migration to Shopware allows you to scale your business flexibly and efficiently.
Stagnating sales and low conversion rates
If your sales are stagnating and conversion rates are not meeting your expectations, switching to Shopware could be the solution. Because with the right tool and an optimised user experience, sales potential can be better exploited.
Limited customisability
A modern shop system must be flexible in order to react quickly to market changes. Shopware offers this customisability and allows your marketing team to easily create their own campaigns with the Page Builder.
Missing functions
Shopware comes with a wide range of functions that often have to be purchased or developed additionally with other providers. This saves you time and resources and allows you to concentrate on the essentials.
Strong out-of-box functionality
Even the standard version comes with a wide range of impressive functions.
High flexibility and customisability
The open source character of Shopware enables customised solutions for almost any application - and with an intuitive user interface. With a large selection of plugins and extensions, additional functions can be easily integrated.
Strong community and comprehensive support
Benefit from a dedicated community and a comprehensive support network that is always on hand to offer help and advice.

Your options for Shopware migration at a glance
Deciding on the right migration strategy is crucial to the success of your e-commerce project. We show you why you should rely on an experienced service provider like elio.
Migration with migration plugins
Migration assistants, such as the Shopware migration plugin, may seem tempting at first glance, but their possibilities are limited. They are often only designed for smaller projects and quickly reach their limits when it comes to more complex requirements. The transfer of standard data structures is prone to errors and can require additional rework. Without in-depth technical know-how, the use of plugins can become complicated and error-prone, making migration not only longer but also riskier.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Manual migration
Although manual or completely independent migration offers complete control, it is an enormously time-consuming and complex process. The lack of routine and in-depth understanding of data structures increases the likelihood of errors and incompatibilities. This can lead to unexpected costs and delays that make the entire migration process inefficient and more expensive. The lack of cost-effectiveness and the risk of data loss often make this approach less attractive.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Migration with a service provider
With an experienced service provider like elio, you are opting for an approach that is characterised by expertise, efficiency and future orientation. A professional service provider has the necessary expertise to take over the entire migration process and seamlessly convert your shop to Shopware. This saves you valuable time and resources and minimises the risk of errors and downtime.

At the beginning of 2022, the bicycle brand Cube, part of Pending System GmbH & Co. KG in Waldershof, faced a major challenge: the existing e-catalogue based on Typo3 no longer met the requirements for a contemporary, target group-oriented product presentation. In addition, there was no direct connection to the internal ERP system, which impaired the efficiency of e-commerce. To meet these challenges, Cube decided to switch to the advanced Shopware 6 system.

Any questions? - FAQ
Why should I switch to Shopware?
A migration to Shopware offers numerous advantages. Companies often migrate to Shopware to benefit from its flexible and modular architecture, which allows the online shop to be customised and expanded. Shopware offers powerful SEO and marketing tools that increase the shop's visibility and reach. Shopware also improves the performance and scalability of the shop, resulting in a better user experience and higher conversion rates. Compared to other platforms, the shop system also offers a more intuitive user interface and a large selection of plugins and extensions.
How long does a Shopware migration take?
The duration of a Shopware migration can vary depending on the complexity and specific requirements. If carried out independently, the process can take several weeks, as it involves careful planning, comprehensive data preparation, technical implementation, testing and troubleshooting. These steps require extensive knowledge and resources.
If, on the other hand, you want to carry out your Shopware migration with elio, the migration can be completed much more quickly. The expertise and experience of a specialised partner will make the process more efficient, significantly reducing the overall time. An experienced service provider like elio can complete the migration process in a fraction of the time it would take if you were to do it yourself.
What steps are included in your migration process?
Our migration process begins with thorough planning and strategy development. We create a schedule, set milestones and identify potential risks and their solutions. We then prepare your data by cleansing, formatting and backing it up.
In the technical phase, we install the new Shopware version, migrate the data and customise the design and templates. After the implementation, we carry out comprehensive tests to check the functionality and compatibility and correct any errors.
Finally, the Shopware shop goes live, accompanied by precise monitoring of the website performance. This ensures that everything runs smoothly and your customers are satisfied. With these steps, we offer a successful and efficient migration to Shopware.
What happens if a problem occurs during migration?
Unforeseen problems can occur during the migration. Our team is on hand to resolve these quickly and efficiently. Through extensive testing in a secure test environment before going live, we identify potential errors at an early stage and thus minimise the risk of problems. If a problem does occur during the migration, we use our experience and expertise to fix it immediately and get your online shop back up and running as quickly as possible. Our prioritised approach ensures that potential disruptions are kept to a minimum and your business is not affected.
Which data can be migrated?
In principle, anything that is data-based can be migrated. This includes product information, customer data, order histories and categories. Customised content, such as independent landing pages, usually has to be adapted manually or created from scratch.
Can my current shop continue to operate during the migration?
Yes, your current shop will remain online during the migration. We ensure that ongoing operations are not disrupted. In the event of major data changes that occur during the migration, we will liaise closely with you so that these can be made in the old shop. Only a short downtime is required for the final go-live to ensure a smooth transition.
