Ecomwise has become a partner of e-commerce platform Shopware since April. At the end of last year, we started to delve into this e-commerce platform and after a few months, we decided to partner alongside Magento 2 also Shopware 6 to offer.

What is Shopware?

Shopware is an open-source e-commerce platform from Germany. In Germany, Shopware is the most widely used e-commerce system and because of its flexibility and user-friendliness, the platform is also growing strongly in other countries in Europe. Shopware has been active in the e-commerce market for more than 20 years and serves more than 100,000+ customers with its various versions. In early 2020, the latest version of the Shopware platform was launched namely Shopware 6. 

Why Shopware alongside Magento?

10 years ago, the e-commerce market was much more limited in terms of good open source e-commerce platforms. This has changed significantly in recent years, making it all the more important for companies to make the right choice of which e-commerce platform will best help you achieve your goals. For us as an e-commerce agency, we see technology as a tool and therefore advise which platform is most suitable for your organisation.

• Linkable with other systems: Shopware 6 is built according to the "API first" approach, which means that any system can interface with the APIs present.
