Overview
Shopware is a German ecommerce software company that says it has worked towards a clear goal since being founded in 2000[18]. Its platform is available as a free, self-hosted Community Edition with a visual page builder, and as paid plans with additional features and support. Shopware Rise starts at €600 a month excluding VAT, with the first 30 days free, and Shopware Evolve, aimed at businesses with advanced B2B or B2C requirements, starts at €2,400 a month and includes B2B components[19].
Shopware also sells Shopware Intelligence+, an AI add-on including a copilot, priced per month on top of a plan[19]. Stores whose linked accounts generate more than €1 million in gross merchandise value over the preceding year are subject to additional licensing terms under Shopware’s usage policy[19]. Rise can be purchased directly only for self-hosted stores; Shopware’s SaaS and PaaS editions are sold through its sales team[18].
Shopware is privately held. It is popular among German-speaking merchants and agencies; outside the DACH region its partner network is smaller.
