Shopware 5 or Shopware 6
Which store system suits you better?
Shopware 5 or Shopware 6 – this is the question some merchants have been asking themselves since May 2019. In our Shopware Screencast Tutorial, we take a closer look at what has changed or perhaps even improved in Shopware 6. For more Shopware videos, check out the Shopware Playlist on our channel.
Shopware 5 "update" to Shopware 6
Since May 2019, many merchants have been asking themselves whether they are still doing well with Shopware 5 and are equipped for the future, or whether the “update” to Shopware 6 is absolutely necessary. Normally, you should always start with the advantages that speak for something. Today we break with the rule and directly note a small negative aspect. The reason for putting the “update” in quotes is that Shopware 5 cannot simply be updated to Shopware 6 via Auto Update.
There is a possibility to migrate your running Shopware 5 store, but this is only possible with a software wizard in an elaborate process.
Shopware 5 or Shopware 6 - these advantages speak for the new version
But once you have decided to migrate your system from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 by an expert, you will benefit from many advantages. Because the reason why an Auto Update is not possible is the new technology and the fundamentally innovated and further developed core of Shopware 6. The new technology is accompanied by simplified storefront customization, as well as easier editing and customization of the shopping worlds, or now experience worlds, which can now be edited very simply using drag & drop according to one’s own ideas. But not only the improvement of usability and the simplification of the administration area, i.e. the backend, have been addressed, also the API-First approach, allows developers to create custom interfaces for administrative activities. a view of open orders that need to be shipped is enabled.

In Shopware 6 it is also possible to define conditions for certain rules . This is done with the Rule Builder. For example, the operators “is one of” or “is not one of” can be used for the delivery address-postcode condition to set rules for it. Thus, it would be possible to play out individual prices for a specific customer group.
Speaking of prices, Shopware 6 is also available as a free Community Edition, which means that you shouldn’t have to worry about the financial side of things.
Shopware 5 or Shopware 6 - Which system is better for you?
One can confidently say: sBoth Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 are currently suitable as online store solutions for successful eCommerce projects. According to the Shopware 5 page, updates and support are still guaranteed until 2024. On the one hand, the migration process is quite time-consuming, on the other hand, one benefits from a more modern technology, which also enables the retailer himself to create worlds of experience without programming knowledge. The Rule Builder is also well suited for individual if-then processes and is easy to handle. This means that no blanket answer or blanket recommendation can be given, but must be considered on an individual basis. There is probably no question of urgency, but anyone working on a successful long-term eCommerce project based on Shopware will not be able to avoid using Shopware 6 in the long term.
