How to migrate over 1 Mio. customers from Magento to Shopware – Pitfalls and lessons learned Migrating over a million customers from Magento 1 to Shopware 6 is not easy – especially if you want to keep past orders (including product data), newsletter data, addresses, used vouchers and passwords, so that the customer feels right at home when logging in the first time in the fancy new shop. This talk discusses how we approached this problem, how we extended the Shopware Migration Assistant to fit our needs and also optimized the migration process heavily (including Delta-Migration) to achieve minimal downtime at go live.

Migration is never easy!

Here are the steps:

  1. Install SwagMigrationAssistant from Store
  2. Check out the User Migration Guide
  3. Watch tutorials, SCD 2019 & 2020 help out a lot.
  4. Now, let us get started: enable the connection to Magento Database
  5. Set premapping for migration
  6. Set your Shopware env to PROD
  7. Run Test Migration

For the migration process to run smoothly, start migration from command line, allocate at least 64Gb PHP memory, increase Batch Size to 500 and the MySQL max_packet_size.

Small things make big difference!
