Magento to Shopware Migration

Choose Your Magento to Shopware Migration Method

Choose a method based on the data you need and the work your team can manage. Importing a product file is a different task from moving customer profiles, historical orders, tax records, reviews, and website content.

Automated Migration is the primary workflow for this route. If you need custom extension records or product structures beyond the listed data, describe them to LitExtension before selecting your service.

Prepare Magento and Your Shopware Store

Back up both stores before starting. Record the numbers of products, categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, tax records, coupons, and reviews that you plan to transfer. Select representative examples for comparison, such as discounted products, orders with several items, and products with multiple images.

Install and prepare the target store, and make sure both store URLs are accessible for the connection checks. Review data already present in Shopware. Decide whether you want to keep it or use Clear Target Data for the selected migration entities.

Document custom Magento modules, product configurations, and site content separately. The transfer does not convert Magento themes, extensions, or custom code into Shopware functionality. Review your CMS pages and blog posts. Magento blog content requires a compatible extension and a confirmed migration scope before starting.

Connect Magento and Shopware

Sign in to the LitExtension app and create a migration. Choose Magento as your source and Shopware as your target, then enter the store URLs.

Follow the connection instructions shown for each platform and complete the connection checks before moving on. If a check fails, review the URL and connection setup or contact support with the error details. Keep the required store access available during the transfer.

Select the Data You Need

Choose the catalog, customer records, historical orders, and other data you need in Shopware. Product data includes descriptions, prices, stock settings, product metadata, weight, manufacturer, tax class, and images. Review SKUs, product tags, variants, attributes, downloadable products, and grouped products in the Demo.

Check customer names, email addresses, and billing addresses. Orders include dates, statuses, items, totals, comments, customer details, and billing and shipping addresses. Manufacturers, tax classes and rates, coupon codes and discount values, and the listed review fields can also be transferred.

CMS pages can include titles, creation dates, URLs, descriptions, categories, and thumbnail images. Blog posts include creation dates, URLs, descriptions, categories, and thumbnail images. Confirm the Magento blog extension and check representative posts before Full Migration.

Multiple Languages is not included in this migration. Plan translated content separately. Product variants, attributes, downloadable products, and grouped products are supported as groups; inspect their target representation in the Demo rather than assuming every extension-specific field transfers.

Configure the Additional Options

Select Create 301 Redirects to connect old Magento URLs to their corresponding Shopware pages. Preserve Order IDs retains source order references. Strip HTML Tags removes markup from product and category names.

Description Images transfers images embedded in product, category, and blog descriptions. It is separate from the thumbnail and additional-image fields. Review embedded images separately from catalog image fields in the Demo.

Clear Target Data deletes existing target records for the migration entities you select. Review the cleanup scope and save a backup before enabling it. Shopify Smart Collections does not apply to a Shopware target.

Review the Free Demo Before Full Migration

Run the Free Demo and open the migrated records in Shopware. Compare product names, SKU values, descriptions, prices, stock settings, metadata, weight, and images with Magento. Check category names, images, and sort order.

Inspect customer billing addresses and representative orders, including their dates, statuses, items, totals, and customer relationships. Review manufacturer names, tax classes and rates, coupon codes and discount values, and sample reviews. Inspect CMS pages and blog posts, including URLs, descriptions, categories, and images.

Resolve any unexpected results before the full transfer. Save the source and target examples when reporting an issue so support can investigate the specific record and migration setting.

Run Full Migration and Validate the Results

Start Full Migration after reviewing the Demo. The transfer runs on LitExtension’s servers, so you can close your browser after it starts and return to check progress. Your Magento store remains available for customers during the data transfer.

When it finishes, compare record counts and the examples you selected during preparation. Check the catalog, customer records, order relationships, images, reviews, CMS pages, and blog posts. Automated Migration leaves result review and store-launch preparation with your team.

Prepare SEO, Customer Access, and Checkout

Check migrated product meta titles and descriptions and test important 301 redirects. Check category meta titles and descriptions as well. Update internal links and check the new navigation and sitemap before launch. A migration does not guarantee unchanged search rankings.

Customer passwords and usernames are not part of this transfer. Configure and test the Shopware account-access and password-reset process before inviting customers to use the new store.

Review the Shopware design, payment methods, shipping, taxes, notifications, and checkout separately. Test browsing, cart actions, account access, and checkout on desktop and mobile before switching the domain.

Handle Changes Made During Migration

Keep track of new Magento records and changes made after the initial transfer. Recent Migration handles new data, Smart Update addresses changes to existing data, and Re-migration reruns the transfer. LitExtension provides these operations free for 60 days.

Review the final update before switching customers to Shopware. Keep a source backup and a record of your checks so any later migration question can be traced to the relevant data.

Estimate Cost and Allow Time for Testing

Cost depends on the selected data volume, Additional Options, and any agreed custom work. Use Estimate Migration Cost for this route.

The duration depends on data volume, images, connection performance, and target readiness. Include preparation, Demo review, result checks, and launch testing in your schedule. Choose Schedule a Call if you want to discuss an expert-managed All-in-One project.
