Shopware Roadmap

Creating or moving the remaining endpoints missing to ensure feature-parity between Storefront and Store-API, following our new proposed architecture paradigm. This will make it way easier to create Single Page Applications, Native Apps, IoT applications or other headless frontends with Shopware PWA. In addition to that we ensure great functionality within the API.

• Include / Exclude custom fields from product views
• assign sets to entities, only the assigned sets are displayed
• some bugfixes (like read-only fields, non deletable and so on)

Extension of the user administration module with rights and role assignment.

• Assignment of rights ↔ Roles ↔ Users

• Rights can be assigned to Roles that restrict viewing, editing and deleting in the administration or API.

• Additionally there are certain actions (like deleting a cache, or releasing campaigns) that can also be restricted with a right.

The first iteration does not restrict entity or sales channel.

CMS

• The sliders of a cms page can also be filled with dynamic product groups instead of a direct assignment of products

Categories / Listings

• The categories can also be filled by dynamic product groups instead of a fixed assignment of products

As part of our partnership with google we will integrate the Google Merchant Center and Google Ads functionality to the administration. You will be able to synch your products to google directly in the administration as well as planning dynamic shopping campaigns.

With the new App System it is possible to develop extensions for Shopware Cloud and Shopware self-hosted. Actually an additional plugin has to be installed in the self-hosted version to use the App System, which is not convenient for self-hosted merchants. This is why the App System will get a part of the platform like the plugin system so it will be available out of the box and merchants can purchase and activate apps without the need of an additional plugin. The result is that all Shopware merchants (Cloud and self-hosted) will get the possibility to use Apps and Themes created via the App System. Extensions developers can develop the Apps and Themes in a local environment and make them available for both Cloud and self-hosted merchants.

Based on the refactorings of the Shopware Core APIs we will iteratively adopt the new endpoints and incorporate them into the application.

The shopware-pwa/cli package provides sophisticated tools for common tasks that developers have to accomplish, such as initialising or building the app, synchronising plugins and snippets or some development related tools like easier component overrides.

Filtering capabilities as well as navigation features throughout the whole application and all device sizes.

This ongoing task incorporates quality related tasks like constant refactorings, documentation and improvement which does not directly interfere with user-facing features but ensures long time stability and maintainability of the software.

Shopping Experiences are implemented for Shopware PWA, however this is also an ongoing process. We're working on adding every element provided by the Shopware Core from simple image or text elements to more complex interfaces like contact forms or navigation panels.
