Copilot is our built-in AI assistant that empowers you to work smarter. It brings advanced Agentic Commerce capabilities directly into the Shopware Admin — ready to assist with content, products, and operations whenever needed.

Agentic Commerce refers to online shopping tasks carried out by autonomous AI agents on behalf of users—from product discovery to checkout. At Shopware, we also use this term to describe the use of AI agents within shop administration, where they support merchants by automating routine tasks and streamlining workflows.

We envision Copilot as an agentic AI service that actively supports merchants in managing their online stores. Copilot will analyze store data and detect anomalies, provide actionable recommendations, and perform tasks directly within the Shopware environment on the merchant’s behalf. Our long-term vision is for Copilot to become the central command layer for automating and orchestrating a wide range of tasks across the Shopware administration.

Copilot is currently available to all customers with a Shopware Rise plan (or higher) from Shopware 6.7.1.0 onwards. The Data Insights Skill can be booked by Shopware Paid Plan customers with additional costs from Shopware Version 6.7.3. on.

The infrastructure of Copilot is fully hosted in Europe, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance with European data protection regulations. Other Shopware AI features are powered by carefully selected AI models integrated via secure APIs, enabling intelligent assistance while maintaining strict privacy and security standards.

Shopware’s AI providers have no access to the merchant’s online store, and any data entered will not be used to train their AI models. Copilot only requests read-only access to a limited set of shop data (such as plugin states, system version, or license information) to personalize its responses. Additionally, Copilot does not process any PII (personally identifiable Information). When a user asks e.g. “What is the address of my top 5 customers?” Copilot is not able to respond to that. Shopware may collect user inquiries to continuously improve both Copilot and the overall Shopware product experience, always in line with data protection standards.

Shopware SaaS (software as a service) and Shopware PaaS (platform as a service) are both ecommerce solutions in the cloud. This means you’re free to focus on your core business while we take care of the hosting. With Shopware Cloud you get everything you need to build your online store with maximum efficiency and start growing from day one. In many respects, Shopware SaaS and Shopware PaaS share the same advantages, but there are also salient differences:

Shopware SaaS

• Automatic software updates

• Carefree hosting and infrastructure maintenance

• Full control over your resources

• Scaling mechanism and full expandability

Shopware PaaS

• All benefits from Shopware SaaS, as well as:

• Maximum customizability

• Performance monitoring

• Dev tools to test and create efficient processes

Self-hosted is the right solution for your business if you have an expert developer team by your side and you need full control over your chosen IT infrastructure.

• Hosted on your own server or your chosen hosting provider

• Extensive customization options

• Custom programming possible

• Local storage of data

And the costs? Shopware SaaS comes at the same price as self-hosted, thus providing you more value for money. As Shopware PaaS is tailored to your specific needs, we offer you individualized pricing for it. Please contact us for further information.

It depends on your specific needs. Are you already a global player with comprehensive B2C or B2B requirements? Or are you an ambitious new merchant with a long-term business plan?
