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.

Pros

  • Shopware offers a robust opensource core, providing remarkable flexibility and customization.
  • The program is good and easy to use for creating multilanguage shops.
  • Shopware 6 has been redesigned with a clean and beautiful backend, offering dozens of amazing shop templates.

Cons

  • The enterprise version of Shopware is costly compared to its added value over the opensource version.
  • The enterprise license has seen recent price increases, which can be concerning for businesses.
  • There are numerous bugs, both from Shopware's side and plugin side, which can impact functionality.

"Shopware 6 - CMS with good performance, clear cockpit, easy to use"
What do you like best about Shopware?

The simple operability of the various sales channels from one application and thus being able to address different target groups. With the simple metadata handling, we save a lot of time.

What do you dislike about Shopware?

Plugins' compatibility with each other is not always guaranteed. However, thanks to our test system, we can always extensively test the new plug-ins to be able to detect problems before the productive commissioning.

What problems is Shopware solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plugins' compatibility with each other and compatibility with Shopware and themes must work. If the plugin compatibility is not guaranteed, you will lose a lot of time with troubleshooting.

"Strong open Commerce platform"
What do you like best about Shopware?

Modern platform with a tech stack that is currently very popular (VueJS, Symfony and PHP)

- The shop administration is very extendable with both plugins and custom development and have a great easy-going UX

- Stripped down and easy to work with boilerplate for the frontend, but also the option to go full headless or use the PWA framework delivered by Shopware

- Exciting functionality that is also trying to disrupt the market a bit. Especially the rule builder and flow builder functionality

What do you dislike about Shopware?

The platform is still young and this also means the development currently is going very fast. So the maintenance cost with running and updating the platform is currently higher than what I would consider in a normal circumstance. But on the other hand, this also gives a lot of new functionality.

What problems is Shopware solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because of the API approach and a modern store functionality we build solutions that are as automated as possible with strong integrations to ERP, PIM , POS etc and then use the Shopware functionality to run high performance webshops with a low TCO.
