As an agency, we help with your smooth Shopware 6 migration

The reasons why you should migrate from WooCommerce

Honestly, how can you really be successful with your online store with WooCommerce? WooCommerce is built on WordPress – a blogging platform from 2004, and you can see that in many places.

MSince the WordPress foundation of WooCommerce was never designed for a modern eCommerce platform, you can see in practice that the entire store looks like Frankenstein’s monster: Kind of thrown together and usually not high converting.

WooCommerce VS Shopware 6: The main differences

Shopware 6 is simply a clean platform designed for one purpose only: Advancing your eCommerce success.

For one, it already starts at the SEO optimization: A rather unclean and, above all, slow code tends to put WooCommerce at a disadvantage with search engines. Shopware 6, on the other hand, can rightly present itself as a darling.

What we keep noticing strongly is that while WooCommerce is quite easy to get started with, any additional customizations to the checkout, discounts, tracking, coupons and many other features are very unstable and costly. For every little thing you need to install an additional plugin. Shopware 6 already comes with a lot of features and all the extensions are also reliable in practice.

Advertisements via Google, Microsoft and Bing also benefit from the much faster performance. As a result, conversion increases and less advertising budget needs to be spent. A good deal, isn’t it?

The reasons why you should migrate from Magento

Honestly, how can you really be successful with your online store with Magento? Magento is built on WordPress – a blogging platform from 2004, and you can see that in many places.

Magento VS Shopware 6: The most important differences

Shopware 6 is much easier to use. As a store owner, you can quickly find your way around modern UI and also quickly create multiple sales channels for Google Shopping, Amazon and Co. It all just makes sense and is intuitively designed.

As mentioned above, the costs for e.g. licenses are much cheaper. Magneto partly wants $22000 – $125000 per year (according to our research) for some licenses. Since the Shopware 6 Professional is significantly cheaper with the Professional and Enterprise versions.

Also regarding hosting, it is not easy with Magento, because Magento is a real performance monster and you definitely have to pay for an expensive and large server, so that the store also runs stable and fast enough.

The reasons why you should migrate from Shopify

Shopify is already much better as an eCommerce platform compared to WooCommerce, Magento and Co., but Shopware 6 is still better in some aspects.

Many of these advantages are related to the fact that you can choose between the self-hosted and cloud version of Shopware 6. Important terms here would be flexibility, extensibility, customization and data control.

Shopify VS Shopware 6: The main differences explained

The biggest advantage is that with Shopware 6 you can decide for yourself whether your data is completely under your control with the self-hosted version or you use the cloud version like in Shopify to relieve yourself a bit. The biggest advantage of the self-hosted version is that you can customize everything and have everything programmed. Here we are not bound by the limitations of the cloud versions.

Programming can also be easier with the self-hosted version, that unlike with Shopify, with Shopware 6 you don’t have to necessarily communicate through the limiting API interfaces of the cloud. This reduces the costs somewhat in the end result.

Also, for large or sophisticated stores, there is the option to use Shopware PWA, which allows you to take your store’s UI and performance to the next level and perform much better in SEO and ads.
