2 Methods to Perform Shopware Migration
Thinking of re-starting your eCommerce business on Shopware? You’re making a great choice; Shopware is flexible and clearly built for growth! However, before you can take full advantage of what it offers, there’s one important step to take: Shopware migration. But don’t worry. Given the right tools, you can transfer everything without the stress or risk of losing important information. Check out the two methods below and choose the one that works best for you.Method 1: Use LitExtension (recommended)
For those who want the smoothest path to Shopware without doing any of the heavy lifting, using LitExtension All-in-One is the ultimate Shopware migration solution! From start to finish, our seasoned LitExtension experts will take care of everything for you. Let’s see how it unfolds:Step 1: Consultant by LitExtension Experts
LitExtension Experts will guide your preparation for Shopware migration- Share your requirements
- Finalize and complete your payments
Step 2. Data mapping & setting by experts
Everything is handled by our experts to ensure the right setup for a smooth transfer- Set up your Shopware store
- Perform expert data mapping
- Run a demo migration and fine-tune with feedback
Step 3. Perform full Shopware migration
Launch your Shopware migration with confidence- Start and monitor full migration
- Post-migration support

- For an additional 90 days after the migration, we’ll handle unlimited smart updates to your existing data completely free of charge.
Method 2: Use Migration Assistant
Besides LitExtension, the Migration Assistant extension is another Shopware migration tool to consider. Since it’s officially maintained by Shopware, you can expect a basic level of compatibility out of the box. That said, we only recommend this method if your source store is fairly similar to Shopware or if you’re working with a smaller product catalog (just in case things don’t go perfectly during the process). After all, as helpful as automated tools can be, they’re still limited. They can’t adapt on the fly or troubleshoot unexpected issues the way LitExtension’s experts can! Worse, you’re essentially on your own without expert support if any issue arises. That’s why, for most store owners, LitExtension remains the smarter, safer choice. Still, if you’re comfortable taking the DIY route, here’s how to get started:Step 1. Create a new integration
First, install the Migration Assistant extension in both your current store and the new Shopware store, and make sure it’s activated in both. Without this, the connection won’t work in the first place! Next, you need to create a new integration in the source store. Go to “Settings” > “System” > “Integrations,” click “Create Integration,” and set it up as follows:- Name: Give it a unique name like Shopware Migration
- Administrator: Enable it for full access
- Access ID & Security Key: These are generated automatically; note them down for the next step
Step 2. Check migration data
Now, in the Shopware store, go to “Settings” > “Extensions” > “Migration Assistant.” Next, click “Create Connection.”
Step 3. Start migration
Finally, click “Start Migration” to begin. There are five stages, all of which are automated so that you don’t have to intervene:- Data Reading: Collects all chosen data from the source
- Data Writing: Writes the data to Shopware 6 (creates customer groups, sales channels, etc., if missing)
- Media Download: Transfers all media into the target store
- Cleanup: Clears temporary migration data
- Indexing: Triggers Shopware indexers to finalize the process

Moving to Shopware is, all in all, a huge shift in how your store runs and handles data behind the scenes. Even small mistakes can snowball into real issues if you’re not prepared! That’s why we’ve gathered these simple yet practical tips to help you avoid surprises:- Always back up your current store before starting: Even with expert help, having a complete backup of your store gives you a safety net. It protects you from rare mishaps and allows easy comparison post-migration to ensure everything is transferred correctly.
- Declutter your data before the move: Migration is the perfect time to clean house, so use this chance to remove outdated products, inactive customers, unused plugins, and test orders. Simple as that might seem, this tip can reduce errors and speed up the transfer!
- Manually test your store before going live: Even after a successful migration, hands-on testing is a must. Check product displays, carts, checkouts, emails, payment integrations (basically everything). That final sweep ensures a smooth experience for your customers from day one.
- Take full advantage of LitExtension’s post-migration support: Despite careful planning, minor issues (like overlooked product images or formatting inconsistencies) can sometimes still slip through. LitExtension’s support window is your chance to catch and fix those things with expert help without having to troubleshoot on your own later. Don’t let that opportunity go to waste!
