Plans that grow with you.

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? How fast do you want to grow? What type of support do you need? Let’s discuss your business goals with a personal consultation and find the right Shopware plan for your current and future needs. Contact our team directly.

The pricing for our plans is based on your gross merchandise value (GMV) and further individual factors. Our sales experts will be happy to explain all the details in a personal consultation with you.

What is the difference between our paid plans and the free Community Edition?

All our paid plans are expanding upon the Community Edition, adding cutting-edge features that’ll make your business stand out from the competition and speed up your success. Also, with our paid plans you get support directly from Shopware, accelerating the implementation of your ecommerce project.

The Community Edition of Shopware is supported through voluntary work by people from our pioneering community. It is not available in the Shopware Cloud – setup and maintenance are your responsibility.

Our Community Edition is the heart of Shopware. It is the foundation of your success, while our paid plans are the accelerators that will take your business above and beyond.
