Frequently asked questions

When is Shopware a better fit than Shopify?
Shopware makes sense when you have specific requirements (e.g. advanced B2B, custom flows or ERP-driven processes) that fit Shopware's architecture better.
What happens to SEO and indexing?
We preserve SEO value with 301 redirects, metadata migration and technical checks. After go-live we monitor crawls and vitals.
Which data exactly can we migrate?
We migrate product data, customers, orders and content 1:1 where possible. Any data gaps are resolved with mapping and validation steps.
How do we replace apps/integrations I currently use in Shopify?
We map your current apps/integrations and replace them with equivalent extensions, custom solutions or middleware integrations.
What about multilingual and multi-store?
Depending on platform capabilities (e.g. Shopware Headless, Magento multi-store) we configure multilingual and markets optimally.
What are the total costs and lead time?
Preparation + implementation vary per scope. Plan indicatively for 4–10 weeks; we provide a schedule after intake.
