Technologies

Developed following the API-first approach, Shopware 6 is based on a completely new technological foundation that uses Symfony as the standard framework and Vue.js for the administration. Bootstrap 4 is used in combination with the template engine Twig for the new storefront, making it even easier to work with Shopware while reducing dependency on specialised knowledge.

We have been developing apps for the Shopware Store for years and generate a surprisingly high number of requests & orders through the additional visibility. We also receive an ongoing flow of great ideas from the community – this helps implement specific needs, which in the end benefits everyone in the Shopware cosmos.

In total. we have developed four custom online stores using Shopware. Due to the high degree of extensibility of Shopware 6, it is now even easier to realise complex requirements and individualise shops.
