Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 migration
Alignment of product information management with variant products
Special function for base price calculation (linear metre, unit, square metre, etc.)
Feature: Shipping cost calculator via postcode lookup
Request function for volume discounts from the product detail view
As part of the relaunch, a thorough analysis of the existing shop structure and the features already implemented was first carried out. On this basis, burgdigital implemented the remaining customer requirements and optimized existing elements to improve user experience and functionality.
The migration from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 not only brought the technical foundation up to date, but also enabled extensive customization of the shop. This bespoke solution strengthens the platform’s future viability and ensures a more efficient and flexible sales structure.
In the digital age, content should not only inform but also deliver real added value. By integrating YUMPU Publishing, Holz‑Speckmann can create visually appealing interactive flip catalogs and make its product range accessible online.
These catalogs can be viewed seamlessly on all devices, significantly increasing their reach. Customers can not only browse the range conveniently, but also access further information directly via the interactive interface, which noticeably enhances the shopping experience.
To meet the growing demands of the market, it is crucial to fulfill individual customer requirements in the best possible way. A wide variety of product variants has therefore become indispensable.
Shopware 6 already provides out‑of‑the‑box solutions for variant‑rich assortments, which burgdigital has enhanced with custom developments. This further improves the shopping experience and increases the conversion rate.
Due to the specific product range, extensive services, and differentiated shipping costs, some desired functions could not be covered by standard plugins.
burgdigital therefore developed custom plugins, including a base price calculation for various units (e.g. linear metres, units, square metres), a shipping cost calculator based on postcode queries, and a dedicated enquiry function directly on the product detail pages. These bespoke adaptations optimize the shopping experience and provide customers with a precise, user‑friendly solution.
Holz‑Speckmann placed great importance on the seamless integration of external third‑party systems into the new online shop. Thanks to Shopware 6’s API‑first architecture, these systems could be connected without difficulty. Various online planners, such as the fence configurator, gate configurator, and terrace planner, were integrated directly into the existing shop structure, providing customers with an end‑to‑end, user‑friendly planning experience.
