Review Summary	Shopware is a popular, open-source e-commerce platform praised for its flexibility, customization options, and user-friendly backend. While its robust features are well-received, users highlight the need for more robust documentation and better plugin quality. Some reviewers express concern about the expensive enterprise license and unpredictable pricing, recommending the open-source version for cost-effectiveness. While Shopware 6 offers an updated backend and streamlined design, a lack of experienced developers for this version and limited plugin availability can be drawbacks. Shopware's emphasis on API-first development enables integration with various systems and facilitates automation, making it a suitable choice for medium-sized businesses seeking a scalable e-commerce solution.
