How the Shopware Migration cost calculator calculates your range

The calculation follows six visible stages. All figures remain planning values until scope and assumptions have been reviewed.

  1. 1. Capture inputs

    The calculator records the visible project, volume, complexity and operating parameters selected on this page.

  2. 2. Add fixed components

    Fixed base modules and selected add-ons are added without mixing them with recurring charges.

  3. 3. Apply multipliers

    Quantity, complexity and scope factors multiply only the cost components identified for them in the calculator model.

  4. 4. Create the range

    The calculator applies its documented lower and upper uncertainty factors to the base result; ROI views keep investment and savings visible separately.

  5. 5. Round and calibrate

    Monetary result fields are rounded to the nearest whole euro. Public project-cost components are calibrated with the centrally maintained display factor.

  6. 6. Classify the result

    The result is shown as non-binding guidance. A binding quote requires scope, data, integrations, risks and acceptance criteria to be reviewed.

Included

  • Inputs shown in the calculator
  • Calculator-specific base values and factors
  • Displayed one-off and recurring result components

Not included

  • Requirements not selected in the calculator
  • Unknown data migration and third-party licence costs
  • Taxes, legal advice and a binding delivery commitment

Efficiency or discount factor: A central display factor of 0.7 is applied to public project-cost components to keep all calculators aligned with the currently reviewed pricing basis. It is not a customer-specific discount; customer-entered wages, revenues and existing operating costs are not reduced.

Why this is not a binding quote: The calculator cannot verify complete requirements, third-party dependencies, data quality, legal constraints or acceptance criteria.

FAQ

Shopware migration costs

Migration budget

What does a migration to Shopware 6 cost?

According to the Shopware migration cost calculator, the non-binding project range is EUR 9,520 – 102,186 excl.

VAT. A standard Shopware 5 setup sits at the lower end. Magento, OXID or WooCommerce, large catalogues and custom features increase the effort. The calculator narrows the range by source system, catalogue size and customisation level.

Why is moving off Shopware 5 urgent?

Shopware 5 support has ended – without security updates, the risk to shop and customer data grows every month.

Plugins no longer receive updates either, increasingly blocking PHP and server upgrades. A planned migration is far cheaper than a forced one.

What drives migration costs the most?

Custom features and plugins that do not exist for Shopware 6 and must be rebuilt, plus the data quality of products, variants and customer accounts.

A standard shop with clean data migrates far cheaper than a heavily customised shop with a grown plugin stack.

Process & technology

How does a Shopware migration run without interrupting sales?

The new shop is built in parallel to live operations: data is migrated and tested while the old shop keeps selling.

At go-live, a final data sync (orders, stock) and the switchover take place – typically during low-traffic hours with only minutes of interruption.

What happens to SEO rankings during a shop migration?

URL structures almost always change with a system switch – without a complete redirect mapping, rankings and revenue are lost.

SEO migration (redirects, meta data, structured data, monitoring) is therefore priced in the calculator at EUR 3,850 excl. VAT.

Can order history and customer accounts be migrated?

Yes – customer accounts, order history and credits can be transferred to Shopware 6 so existing customers keep their logins and order views.

Effort depends on data volume and source system; the calculator prices this building block at EUR 3,150 excl. VAT.

Typical pricing models (overview)

Comparison: typical pricing models for software and IT projects
ModelWhen it fitsBudget & flexibilityTypical risks
Fixed price (fixed scope)Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery.Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order.Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs.
Time & MaterialDiscovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration.Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates.Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter.
Retainer / maintenance packageOngoing operations, updates, small features, and support.Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost.Large changes may still need a separate estimate.
Hybrid (milestone + T&M)MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate.Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis.Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work.

Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
