Migration
The update to Shopware 5.6 is required for the store to function smoothly. You should install a migration environment, a theme and plugins. It is necessary to carry out all design and configuration work after the migration of data. Some data cannot be transferred automatically. So we enter them into the new e-commerce system manually.
Restart
The new version is put into preliminary operation when the current store is running. The prepared data is transferred to the new system environment. The additional settings are set up and the required plugins are implemented. If required, individual adjustments and Shopware integration be made.
