Shopware 6 Release News: Discover the new features in April 2026

With Shopware 6.7.9.0, we’re releasing the minor update for April. This release introduces many new features, including the withdrawal button, a new Agentic Commerce sales channel, and chat history for Shopware Copilot.

Release news general updates clean blue

Withdrawal button requirement: Now integrated in Shopware

Starting June 19, 2026, the so-called withdrawal button will become mandatory for many online merchants selling to Germany. With Shopware 6.7.9.0, we provide a built-in solution in the standard storefront to help you meet these legal requirements in time.

The implementation is based on an integrated online form that can be placed flexibly within the storefront using Shopping Experiences. Customers can submit their withdrawal request electronically and automatically receive a confirmation of receipt.

This ensures that the legally required process is fully covered on a system level - without the need for custom development.

For more details on the legal background and implementation, read our blog post.


More efficiency through automation: the new GMV collection

The improved GMV collection will be auto-installed on all Shopware shops that exceed version 6.7.8 and for CE customers who have accepted GTC v3.2+ and connected their shop to their Shopware Account.

Please read more in our blog post.


New Sales Channel type ‘Agentic Commerce’

The Agentic Commerce sales channel serves as a central entry point for AI-driven product distribution. It enables merchants to make their products available to platforms like ChatGPT through a compliant JSONL feed, while also tracking the business impact of AI-generated traffic. Designed as a scalable foundation, this channel enables seamless integration of multiple AI platforms, providing a future-proof approach to AI-driven commerce.

Key Features:

  • Agentic Commerce as Entry Point: A new top-level sales channel designed to support multiple AI platforms, making future integrations seamless and scalable.

  • Platform-Specific Feeds: Enables creation of dedicated feeds within the Agentic Commerce channel, beginning with the “OpenAI product feed” and extendable to others.

  • Native JSONL Support: Products can be exported in JSONL format, ensuring compatibility with modern AI commerce protocols.

  • Preconfigured Feed Template: A ready-to-use template with all required fields allows for quick and simple setup.

  • AI Referral Tracking: Orders and traffic from AI platforms can be tracked using the existing affiliate infrastructure.

  • Reliable Feed Generation: Stable export process with proper handling of special characters and automatic exclusion of invalid products.

  • Customizable Seller Metadata: Merchants can manage seller-specific information directly within the sales channel configuration.

  • Instant Feed Availability: Each feed provides a ready-to-use URL that can be directly submitted to AI platforms.


New chat history for Shopware Copilot

Shopware Copilot is an AI-powered assistant within the administration. It supports you with everyday tasks – for example by answering questions, analyzing data, or generating content.

We’ve now added a chat history to Copilot, allowing you to access your previous conversations directly within the interface. This helps you keep track of past requests, decisions, and next steps – without having to repeat prompts.

Chat history makes it easier to pick up existing context and work more efficiently with Copilot.

SEO improvements for better visibility and sharing

With Shopware 6.7.9.0, several improvements have been made to how your shop content is presented externally.

You can now define custom Open Graph data for products, including title, description, and image. This allows you to control how product links appear when shared on social media or messaging platforms.

In addition, Shopware now supports the JSON-LD format for structured data – the preferred standard for search engines. The feature is currently optional and can be enabled via a feature flag.

Your benefit: More control over how your products appear outside your shop – and a stronger foundation for visibility in search engines and social platforms.


CAD to 3D is now out of beta and additionally available via Shopware Intelligence+

Stable version now available. Unlock spatial commerce by converting your existing CAD files into fast-loading, web-ready .glb models with just one click. Built natively into Shopware, you can use your converted models as product media, or explore 3D displays, AR viewers, immersive layouts, and scroll animations.

What used to be a production file is now a flexible storytelling asset, without new tools, workflows, or specialists.

The CAD to 3D conversion can be tested with 1 free conversion per month and purchased via the Shopware Intelligence+ subscription. If you’re using a commercial Shopware plan, the feature is already available to you with unlimited usage.

For more details on how it works and how to use it, see our Feature Focus blog post.

ZUGFeRD support for cancellations and credit notes

Shopware now also supports ZUGFeRD generation for cancellation documents and credit notes. Merchants can create compliant electronic documents for common post-order scenarios such as cancellations and credit notes directly within Shopware.

This is particularly relevant because, when using ZUGFeRD as an e-invoicing format, all related document types need to comply with the same standard and legal framework.

ZUGFeRD is based on the European e-invoicing standard EN 16931. In Germany, requirements for electronic invoicing are increasingly shifting toward standardized digital processing.

Release news Commercial features & services news clean blue

This section covers services and features that are not included by default in the Community Edition. Take a look at our overview to compare the different Shopware plans and activate the Shopware Commercial extension to use the commercial features.


Shopware Nexus: Orchestrate workflows and integrations

Shopware Nexus

With Shopware Nexus, we introduce a new foundation for orchestrating workflows and integrations.

Nexus allows you to manage processes between Shopware and external systems such as ERP or CRM through a visual, event-driven layer. Instead of relying on custom scripts or additional middleware, integrations can be handled through a centralized workflow layer.

What this means in practice:

  • Build and extend workflows visually

  • Connect systems through event-driven processes

  • Standardize integrations instead of maintaining custom implementations

  • Reduce reliance on middleware and custom scripts

Nexus helps make integrations more stable and easier to evolve over time.

It was released this month and is now available as a Shopware Service (currently in beta). Learn more here.


Introduce Product Bundles (Blueprint)

With Product Bundles (Blueprint), you can create curated sets of products directly in Shopware. Combine individual items into ready-to-buy bundles to boost sales and simplify the shopping experience.

As a first milestone, this blueprint focuses on core functionality and is designed to gather early feedback and requirements from you – helping us shape the next iterations of Product Bundles.

The next iterations will include adding options such as variants and quantity selection. You can follow the progress via the Shopware Roadmap.

The Product Bundles feature is available from the Shopware Evolve plan onwards.

Key features:

  • Interactive exploded views with step-by-step animations

  • Component structuring and annotations

  • Direct linking to spare parts

  • Optional autoplay and user interaction
