"For over a decade, LEKI has relied on Shopware as our ecommerce partner. Shopware 6 simplifies complex procedures, convinces with a good usability, and was therefore the right choice for our new online store."

ecommerce manager,
LEKI

"Content and commerce come closer together for us with Shopware 6 because in “Shopping Experiences” we can inspire our customers and at the same time introduce them to the right products. We see this as a great benefit for our brand and online store. The migration from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 took us just under 11 months. Our development agency Pixolith already had a lot of experience with Shopware 6, which helped us especially with the initial connection to our PIM or the interface to the merchandise management system."
