Shopware vs. Shopify – Pros & Cons

Shopware is a great software for small companies that want to develop their online stores. On the other hand, Shopify is a comprehensive, all-in-one platform that includes the whole toolkit. You can build your customizable store according to your preferences, as well as implement hosting and payment processing solutions. Also, Shopify allows your business to scale up seamlessly. It makes expanding into new markets quick and easy, and multichannel Shopify enables you to manage and sell your products across all sales channels.

Features

Shopify has many more features. The long list includes CRM, inventory management, mobile access, email marketing, SEO management, multi-channel marketing, returns management, and many more. Also, it provides you with extensive customization options. What is worth mentioning, the list of Shopify’s new features is becoming longer regularly. Recently, customer segments, audiences, and new automations have been added.

Licenses

Shopify has more pricing plans so you can choose the option that suits your needs and requirements easier. Shopware comes in six different licenses, but Shopify has Shopify Plus for companies with a particularly high volume of business.

Marketing

Shopware provides you with some tools for online marketing, however, it’s nothing when compared to Shopify which offers numerous marketing tools. You can use them to create online advertising campaigns. Shopify offers many useful automations you can implement to reach out to your target audience at the right moment. You can set timing and cool-down periods for your marketing campaigns, choose conditions that increase the chances of converting a user, and many more.

How much does it cost to migrate from Shopware to Shopify?

Both e-commerce platforms have different pricing plans, depending on the size of your business and your specific needs and requirements. You can easily find the best solution, no matter if you are a startup, a small online store taking its first steps on the online market, or an already functioning, rapidly developing company. Shopify is one of the most popular platforms out there – it offers many pricing plans so that you can be sure you will find the one that meets your needs well. Also, Shopify Plus is a great e-commerce solution if the volume of your online business is already large and still growing. Shopify Plus is also great for customization.

When it comes to the price of the migration process itself, it cannot be set before we get to know you and your business.

Also, we will check if you only need to move your ecommerce platform’s data or maybe you also want to re-design your store and create a custom-built solution that e.g. requires integrations. Once we know you and your needs, we’ll be able to prepare a unique offer for you.

How to keep my SEO position during Shopware to Shopify migration?

The migration process may obviously have some SEO implications. You probably hate the idea of losing all your hard-earned domain authority, backlinks, and organic traffic – we get it really well. If the migration isn’t carried out properly and with a good plan, you may even lose half of your traffic within weeks of migrating. If you don’t set redirects, you will get 404 pages, and this is a signal for Google bots to stop crawling your pages. It of course causes your traffic flatline – no crawling means no indexing. So, this is a handy guide on how to keep your SEO position after you migrate from Shopware to Shopify:

Before the migration, you should refresh the canonical link structure (it tells search engines which page you want to rank) and the SEO setup of your online store. You should consider the navigation structure (top-ranking pages and highest-value collections should be easily accessible through the site’s navigation). Think about collections (‘groups’ of similar products that are critical pages for SEO) and pages (you should audit and review the key ones).
Also, you should back up everything, just in case anything goes wrong. Finally, time to set up 301 redirects from old URLs to new Shopify URLs – this is probably the most critical SEO step in the migration to Shopify. The easiest way to set them up is to export your old domain’s site index. You can do this directly from your store.
And what about post-migration? Annotate launch in Google Analytics and submit new Sitemap to Google and Bing. Then, time to outreach to the highest-authority backlinks to get them to update to new URLs if possible and recrawl the old website.

How long does it take to migrate from Shopware to Shopify?

It is impossible to say how long your migration from Shopware to Shopify will last. It depends on the size of your store and the number of products, customers, and orders that are to be transferred.
