A long way to go, but quite flexible despite it's initial readiness and user friendliness. High investment required with many adjustments and add-ons necessary in order to get to a solid and working e-commerce shop. Unfortunately, we are now stuck at Version 6.6.x due to update incompatibilities with our add-ons and shopware6 own rules.

Pros

Initial appearance and initial finalization rate of a webshop. It is quite easy to create simple websites and handle orders. Many professional plugins from PayPal over DHL to smaller design add-ons. It seems to have a good SEO ranking. Foundation for a highly professional e-commerce shop when having a big budget is possible.

Cons

Multitude of Bugs and incompatibility with updates. Change of business model for perpetually bought licenses so that you need to switch to rental model after two years. Plugins wont work with future versions of Shopware. As there were and still are so many Bugs, an update is a must do.

I've used it many years and still running my online shop with it. It's also pre configured. You just need to bring in your products and setup payment methods, and you're ready to go.

Pros

The initial setup is very straight forward. Another point to cover is, there is a good tool set to import from other shops. Also the flows are great and automate much of the steps.

Cons

Sometimes its hard to find out, which text fragment is for what part of the overall site. And the templating feature is really hard to understand. But the worst thing is, you can brick your shop while updating. So be careful and backup everything before running the update.

Alles in allem war ein Update auf Shopware 6 dringend nötig, leider hat dies aber nicht nur positives mit sich gebracht.

Pros

Das neue Shopware 6 hat ein modernes GUI, die Installationen ist vergleichsweise einfach (technische Grundkenntnisse von Vorteil) und dank der neuen Rule & Flowbuilder lassen sich viele Routinen automatisieren. Das Theme ist wie immer bis ins kleinste Detail anpassbar, hierfür sind aber entweder Programmier-Kenntnisse von nöten oder man muss sich ein fertiges Theme kaufen wenn nicht mit dem Standard gearbeitet werden möchte.

Cons

Leider sind in Shopware 6 einige grundlegende Boardmittel, die in der alten Version bereits enthalten waren, entfernt worden und sind nun nur noch über kostenpflichtige Plugins oder eigenständiges Programmierung umsetzbar, wie z.B. der Mindermengenzuschlag

Pros

Shopware bietet eine flexible und anpassbare E-Commerce-Plattform, die es uns ermöglicht, unseren Online-Shop einfach zu gestalten und zu verwalten. Zudem unterstützt es zahlreiche Integrationen und Erweiterungen, die das Einkaufserlebnis verbessern.

Cons

Ein Nachteil von Shopware ist, dass die Plattform insbesondere in der Enterprise-Version komplex sein kann und daher eine steile Lernkurve erfordert, was sowohl zeit- als auch ressourcenintensiv sein kann. Zudem können die Kosten für Erweiterungen und professionelle Unterstützung schnell ansteigen, was für kleinere Unternehmen eine Herausforderung darstellen kann.

My overall experience with this eCommerce platform has been quite enriching and transformative for my online business. From the beginning, what stood out most was their focus on creating engaging and emotionally resonant shopping environments. This ability to deeply personalize my online store has allowed me to create a unique user experience, adapted not only to my brand, but also to the expectations and preferences of my customers.

Pros

What I liked most about this platform is its focus on creating shopping environments that really connect with the customer's emotions. The customization capacity is exceptional, allowing me to adapt the store to the specific needs of my business and the expectations of my customers. Furthermore, being open source, it offers me great flexibility to develop additional functionalities.

Cons

Although the platform itself is robust, configuring and optimizing all of its features to perfectly fit the specific needs of my business has been a longer and more complex process than expected. This can be a challenge, particularly for smaller businesses or those who are just starting out with eCommerce and don't have as much technical support on hand.

La variedad de funcionalidades fue satisfactoria me permitieron integrar facilidades adicionales sin mucho problema, aunque algunas veces requerí ayuda técnica para ajustarlos perfectamente a mis necesidades.

Pros

Es genial me ofrece una amplia gama de opciones de personalización gracias a su gran número de plugins y temas, lo que me permite adaptar mi tienda a mis preferencias y las tendencias del mercado.

Cons

Bueno enalgunos momentos he exprimentado problemas de desempeño cuando estoy trabajando con catálogos de productos excepcionalmente grandes o cuando se gestionan muchas transacciones simultáneas.
