Shopware Migrationsassistent

If you are migrating from Shopware 5, the Shopware Migration Wizard will help you verify that the server of your current Shopware 5 installation and installed plugins meet the requirements to be migrated to Shopware 6. You can find the Shopware Migration Wizard for your Shopware 5 installation in the Shopware Plugin Store.

After you have installed and activated the plugin, reload the backend once. Click on the question mark symbol in the menu bar to find the Shopware 6 Update Check menu item.

Requirements

The Requirements tab shows you which requirements for Shopware 6 your server currently already meets, and where you should configure your server before migration.

Plugins

The tab Plugins shows you for your installed plugins whether they are also available for Shopware 6 and the configurations can be adopted.
