Shopware 6
Introduction
In addition to migrating older store systems to Shopware 6, you can also migrate from an existing Shopware 6 installation to a second Shopware 6 version. This can be necessary, for example, if you want to switch from a Shopware 6 installation to the Shopware 6 Cloud, if you want to move your store from another server to a new one, or if you prepare the store in a staging environment and then want to transfer these changes to the live store.
If you decide to switch from your own Shopware 6 installation to a cloud environment, this is also no problem. You can transfer the data of your installation to your new cloud environment with a migration. This is also possible with a Shopware 5 installation.
Note: It is also possible to migrate from the cloud to a self-hosted solution.
