RÖSLE’s first online store had been based on Shopware 5. The business had recognized that ecommerce was a segment that was growing rapidly and could provide the perfect opportunity to offer customers a unique shopping experience.
But it was clear that Shopware 5 would not be able to meet the business’s needs for much longer. RÖSLE wanted more from its online store. So the company decided to migrate to Shopware 6 with its new headless approach to take its store experience to the next level.
“What particularly impressed us at LightsOn and convinced us to partner up with the business was the team’s professional vision of the future. RÖSLE had already been thinking ahead with its first Shopware project and had chosen the Enterprise Edition of Shopware. That was a positive factor for us at LightsOn and motivated us to support the business with its plans.”

The challenge
Shopware 6 was new on the market
Back then, in early 2021, Shopware 6 armenia telegram screening was still a very new addition to the market. That made the project a challenging but exciting journey. For example, there wasn’t yet support for migrating all of the plug-ins, including RÖSLE’s voucher sales. We ended up having to integrate a total of 40 new plug-ins. That’s quite a task. But, working closely with the IT team at RÖSLE, we were able to coordinate and implement everything.
Complex data structure
The existing data structure was highly complex and meant we had to pull data from different systems. Unlike previous versions, migrating from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 is not a case of a simple update. Shopware 6 is not just an improved and updated version – it has an entirely new system infrastructure. The biggest challenge was rethinking the data architecture.
