Frequently asked questions
What is your cancellation policy?
All Shopware cloud and rental products can be cancelled on a monthly basis.
Do I need previous experience in ecommerce or technical know-how to get started with Shopware?
No, with our Cloud Starter Edition you get "start smart - rise fast." Within a few clicks, an ambitious business idea becomes a profitable online store. But even with our other, more comprehensive editions you can build your professional online store effortlessly through a quick and straightforward set-up. The administration of our editions are highly intuitive, and with the help of our academy and documentation you'll be ready for your ecommerce project in no time. But if you prefer having expert knowledge by your side, you'll find the right professional in our large partner network. Why not give it a try?
Which edition is best for me and my business model?
It depends on your business model and your requirements. Where do you stand with your project? If you want to implement your new idea quickly and see how it develops, then the Cloud Starter Edition is the right choice for you. But if you already have specific ideas and a long-term business plan, and now you're looking for the right solution to grow your online-business, our Professional Edition is perfect for you. For complex projects with high demands and specific requirements we recommend our Enterprise Edition, offering you individual and the most comprehensive support. If you have any further questions, then please do not hesitate to contact us!
How long will it take for my online business to go live?
In theory, you can go live today - that would be one answer. In reality, however, the duration depends on the size of your project. How many products do you sell, are there any variants, do you sell globally etc.? Talk to us and let one of our expert team members advise and assist you. That's what we're here for! An example of a smooth implementation within a few days can be found here.
Cloud or self-hosted? What is right for me?
Here are some advantages of the cloud edition:
- Quick and easy set-up
- Extended functions and service offers can be added easily to customise your store
- Automatic updates and maintenance
- Simple selection of plans for your success in ecommerce
- Extensive customisation options
- Custom programming possible
- Full control over your chosen IT infrastructure
- Local storage of data, even without internet access
- Large ecosystem to support your growth path
- Countless options to scale your business
What costs can I expect?
You can actually get Shopware for free! For example: If you're the founder of a startup and would like to set up your online business quickly and see how things develop, then you don't have to pay anything for the time being. The Cloud Starter Edition only costs you a small 3% share of sales if you actually make sales. There is no basic fee to pay. But if you come to us with a more complex project and already have a businessplan in place, it makes sense to buy the Professional Edition for the price of €2,495. Although you can rent the Professional Edition for €199 per month, the purchase is paid off after just 12 months of being in business. Check out our plans here for a comprehensive overview. Please note that there may also be additional costs for hosting, partners or app purchases.
I am currently using a different ecommerce solution. How can I migrate?
No problem - we'll bring you over! Our support team as well as specialised partner agencies will help you migrating your business so that you can keep all your customer data, orders, products, etc. Further information
How can existing system landscapes (e.g. merchandise management system, payment, shipping, etc.) be connected?
Whether marketplace, accounting software, or your own ERP system: Thanks to numerous interfaces, existing system landscapes or in-house developments can be effortlessly integrated into your Shopware store. Here's an overview.
How do I find the right specialist for my ecommerce project?
With over 1,200 certified Shopware agencies that specialise in a wide variety of services, you can be confident you’ll get the right support you need to build your online store. Find the right partner for your project here.
How can I upgrade my Shopware store? Is it possible to switch from one edition to another?
Expanding and customising your ecommerce business is easy: With over 4000 extensions to choose from, you'll find the right solution for all your requirements in the Shopware Store. Changing Shopware editions is also easy: With our cloud plans, you can switch flexibly between the plans. An upgrade to a commercial licence (Professional Edition/Enterprise Edition) is possible at any time and without any complications in the existing installation. The software subscription is also available directly after purchase.
Do I get technical support?
With our paid editions, you'll get support directly from Shopware with a guaranteed response time. The response time depends on the respective support level you've chosen (Software Subscription). Although we can't offer the same service with our free edition, you'll still get plenty of help and useful tips from the community by creating a post in the community forum.
What exactly is a software subscription?
An active software subscription is the prerequisite for your self-hosted online store to get updates and technical support from shopware AG. The subscription is automatically renewed if not cancelled before the end of the booked term. An overview of the different subscriptions and costs can be found here in Software Subscription.
Can I get any assistance in addition to the official Shopware support?
Of course you can! Because as an open commerce platform, we involve our innovative community of store operators, developers and partner agencies on a daily basis:
- Chat with over 3,500 users on our Slack channel
- On the Stack Overflow platform you'll find support, suggestions and answers
- Get valuable insights and know-how from free training videos in the comfort of your own home
- We regularly organise free workshops for developers
- Our Boost Days take place several times a year to grow and learn together
