Shopware Upgrade from 5 to 6 Case Study

    About The Client


    Our client is a reputable electronics retailer based in Germany that offers a wide range of consumer electronics products, including smartphones, laptops, cameras, and accessories. They have a significant online presence and a large customer base.

    Challenge

    The client’s existing webstore operated on Shopware 5, which was becoming outdated and lacked the advanced features and performance capabilities of Shopware 6. The challenge was to migrate their webstore from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6, ensuring a seamless transition without losing any data or functionality. Additionally, the client wanted to enhance the user experience and improve the design of their webstore.

    Module Migration and Adaptation

We migrated and adapted the necessary modules to ensure their seamless integration with the new platform. Modules that were not available for Shopware 6, were adapted by us to be compatible with Shopware 6, some solutions were developed by us from scratch.
