Shopware is e-commerce software from shopware AG in Schöppingen, Germany; the vendor says its current product, Shopware 6, is a complete redevelopment of Shopware 5.
According to its vendor, Shopware 6 is a commerce platform for B2B B2B B2B, short for business-to-business, is the market in which companies sell goods and services to other companies.

By default, customers host and run it themselves, for example on their own cloud infrastructure; alternatively, it can run in environments that the vendor hosts.

It adds that Shopware 6 uses the Symfony Symfony Symfony is an open-source PHP framework, a ready-made foundation for web applications, released under the MIT licence and developed by its community to a fixed release schedule.

On 16 August 2022, shopware AG announced (in German) that support for Shopware 5, which had been available since 27 April 2015, was to run until July 2024, and that there would be no version 5.8. For a move from version 5, Shopware's migration assistant shows whether the installed plugins are also available for Shopware 6 and whether their configuration can be carried over.
Our work with Shopware 5 is limited to the long-term maintenance of existing shops; we never start new projects on it. Our own Shopware 5 shops include rasensamen-kaufen.de and rollenrampe.de. When a change of platform is due and makes economic sense for the shop owner, we help move the shop to Shopify Shopify Shopify is a subscription-based commerce platform: merchants either have Shopify host their online shop or build their own shop front on its Storefront API.
