04Minimal downtime and careful data preservation
Plan the next move when your ecommerce platform no longer fits your strategy.
The market has changed significantly in recent years. Rising subscriptions and additional monthly module fees have, for example, made Shopware less economical for many retailers.
Moving from Shopware 5 to 6 also requires a complete rebuild, including system assessment, design adaptation and replacement modules.
For many retailers, this is a reason to reconsider the platform strategically: PrestaShop can be a particularly economical choice, while Shopify offers a modern SaaS solution with manageable implementation effort.
Projects on Magento, WooCommerce, Gambio, JTL and OXID can also reach technical, financial or maintenance limits.
Switching systems takes work, but can create an opportunity for better processes, lower running costs and a store that fits both current and future plans.
Inconsistent data
Different fields, missing IDs and incomplete records
SEO losses
Incorrect redirects, changed URLs and ranking drops
Integration issues
Shipping, payments and ERP often cannot be transferred unchanged
Downtime and live errors
Migration without thorough testing can cost sales
Missing payments and modules
Functional differences between systems, for example in B2B features
Incomplete platform knowledge
Without sound knowledge of both source and target systems, mistakes can lead to data loss or additional costs.
Migration means understanding, checking and implementing — not just copying data.
Switching ecommerce platforms means more than copying product data.
Every migration is an individual project, with dependencies, specific requirements and risks.
We therefore handle the entire process, covering technology and structure in close coordination with you.
01
Technical analysis
Assess source and target systems, integrations, requirements and SEO structure
02
Data migration
Products, categories, customers, orders, content, media and URL structure
03
Connections and integrations
Connect shipping, payment methods, ERP, inventory, newsletters and tracking
04
URL redirects and SEO
Use targeted redirects and canonical URLs to reduce ranking-loss risks
05
Testing and launch support
Functional tests, a sandbox, final checks and a controlled launch
06
Post-migration support
Launch follow-up, fine-tuning and technical support for the live store
From one system to another. We support the complete move.
We migrate stores from different technical environments, whether changing platforms entirely or upgrading within the same system. Our approach is structured and data-led, whatever the age or complexity of your existing store.

Explore an alternative to Shopify and migration to PrestaShop
More than 60 online stores migrated — could yours be next?
Every sector has its own characteristics, and that is what we enjoy.
From fashion start-ups to international spare-parts retailers, we support clients technically and strategically, reliably and over the long term. Here is a small selection of our projects:
PrestaShop 1.7 to 8.1
PrestaShop migration
For Bildhau KG, we migrated PrestaShop from version 1.7 to 8.1 and modernised the technology. Alongside transferring relevant data and settings, we focused on improving search-related areas.
Existing modules were updated and extended to cover current requirements. We also fully adapted and integrated the Logiflex interface to support communication with logistics providers.
The result is a faster, more stable system with an improved SEO structure, greater flexibility for extensions and noticeably lower ongoing maintenance effort.
01
Shopware 5 to PrestaShop 8
Shopware 5 migration
The move from Shopware 5 to PrestaShop followed steadily rising subscription and module licensing costs.
We migrated all core data: customers, orders, products and categories. The existing design and content were also carried over faithfully.
A central module provided the direct Amazon connection, integrating marketplace sales.
The new platform provides a scalable foundation with control over functions and extensions, while substantially reducing ongoing costs.
02
Shopware 6 to PrestaShop 8
Shopware 6 migration
The existing VISMA ERP import module had reached its technical limits and needed substantial redevelopment. The client also needed an efficient way to import all product images in bulk.
We redesigned the module around the client’s specific requirements. For image imports, we developed a dedicated solution that automatically processes and reliably imports all product images.
VISMA ERP and PrestaShop now work smoothly together, with substantially lower ongoing costs and improved sales reporting. A light design refresh created a more usable, contemporary B2B shopping experience.
03
Migration to PrestaShop
WooCommerce migration
For a specialist B2B store, we developed a concept in which prices and ordering are available only after registration and business verification. Training sessions also needed booking with deposits, supported by an integrated live-shopping feature.
We implemented this in PrestaShop using suitable modules for automated checks and access restrictions. Klaviyo handles email marketing, while Channelize provides the connection for future live-shopping events.
The result is a capable platform designed for B2B sales and relevant legal requirements. Automated workflows, scalable sales functions and a professional marketing setup support efficiency, reach and measurable results.

Questions about migration? We have answers.
How long does an online store migration take?
It depends on data volume, the target system and any integrations. Smaller migrations take a few days; complex projects can take several weeks.
Will SEO rankings and URLs be preserved?
We pay attention to URL structures, permanent (301) redirects and canonical URLs to protect visibility and reduce losses. Unchanged rankings cannot be guaranteed.
What happens to products, customers and orders?
We migrate this data, including categories, variants, customer details, order history, reviews and more.
Can you reconnect my payment methods, shipping and ERP?
Yes. We integrate existing systems or replace them with suitable alternatives. Third-party inventory and CRM software can also be connected.
What does the migration process involve?
We assess the source and target systems, run tests, prepare the data and support the launch. The entire process is structured and documented.
Will the store be offline during migration?
We work in a development environment. The switch is coordinated to minimise downtime and disruption for your customers.
