Shopware Agency · Development

For us, Shopware development means more than a customized theme. We build Twig-based storefronts that reflect your brand without losing sight of the Core Web Vitals, and we develop custom plugins when your business model doesn't fit a marketplace plugin. How we go about it is described on the page on Shopware plugin development.

For shops that want to separate storefront and backend, we build headless storefronts on Next.js or Shopware Composable Frontends. That pays off if you serve several channels or want to develop the frontend independently of the shop release. If that isn't the case, we tell you so and stick with Twig.

The third block is integration: ERP, PIM, payment and shipping have to keep stock, prices and orders in sync in both directions. How we build these connections is covered under Shopware interfaces. If you sell B2B, you also need customer hierarchies, approvals and individual price lists, which we describe under Shopware B2B. And if you're still running Shopware 5, Magento or OXID, working together usually starts with a Shopware migration.

When you hire an agency, what you're really buying is the people working on the code. Our Shopware developers have worked with Shopware 6 for years, know Symfony and the data abstraction layer, and know which extension points survive an update and which don't. We don't put a junior team on your project just because it happens to be free.

Day to day, that means every change goes through a pull request that a second developer reads before it reaches the main branch. Custom logic gets automated tests that run in the pipeline, and a deployment is a reproducible step, not a manual job on a Friday afternoon. This discipline costs a little time at the start and pays it back several times over from the second release onwards.

Direct contact matters just as much. You talk to the Shopware developer who knows your shop, not to a project manager passing answers along. We answer questions about architecture, effort or risk from inside the project, without a detour through sales. And because the code sits in your repository and is documented, you can bring in your own team or another agency at any time.

A project starts with discovery: we review requirements, the existing shop, data sources and interfaces, and clarify what Shopware already does out of the box. The result is an architecture sketch with decisions on plugins, Twig or headless, integrations and hosting. Only then do we estimate effort, because a number without this groundwork would just be a bet.

Delivery runs in fixed sprints. Each sprint ends with a review on a staging environment where you click through the results yourself and set priorities for the next sprint. The release at the end is a planned step with data reconciliation, load tests and a rollback plan, not a big bang at the weekend.

What Shopware development costs depends mainly on scope: the number and depth of interfaces, the degree of customization in checkout and pricing logic, the amount of data to migrate and whether a headless frontend is added. The Shopware price calculator gives you a first range for your project; a reliable figure follows after discovery.
