It's the successor of the very successful e-commerce shopping cart Shopware 5 which has over 800000 downloads. Shopware 6 is focused on an api-first approach, so it's quite easy to think in different sales channels and make ecommerce happen whereever you want it.

Shopware 6 repository structure

Shopware 6 consists of multiple repositories, two of them are important to you:

• shopware/platform is a mono repository
  • This is where the shopware core is developed. You need it as dependency in your projects
  • This is where you can participate in the development of Shopware through pull requests
  • It's split into multiple repositories for production setups, all read-only
• shopware/development is the development template
  • This is where your journey with shopware starts
  • Installation see below!

Quickstart / Installation

A full installation guide covering different dev environments is available in the docs.

For the impatient reader, here is a tl;dr using docker.

Let's start by cloning the development template:

> git clone [email protected]:shopware/development.git

You now have the application template for the Shopware Platform in the directory development, we now change into it:

> cd development

and clone the platform repository into its default directory platform. Note This is important for autoloading purposes.

> git clone [email protected]:shopware/platform.git

Build and start the containers:

> ./psh.phar docker:start

Access the application container:

> ./psh.phar docker:ssh

Execute the installer:

> ./psh.phar install 

This may take a while since many caches need to be generated on first execution, but only on first execution.

To be sure that the installation succeeded, just open the following url in your favorite browser: localhost:8000

Now you're all set to start developing your first plugin.

Roadmap

You make the roadmap!

Shopware 6 will continue to evolve together with you and your feedback. This is our number one priority!

With openness as one of our core values, we will always provide you with a transparent overview of our product development.
The Shopware Roadmap shows you what we are working on, what we want to tackle next, and what visions we have for the future.

Take a look at the current roadmap here.

Our community is our strongest asset

In today’s information-based world, you cannot thrive in closed systems. Black boxes and vendor lock-in models hurt innovation – and belong in the dark ages of ecommerce.

The future of IT is all about collaboration. At Shopware, we believe that the best ecommerce solution can only be developed in constant exchange with the people that use it every day. This is why we made a clear promise to the open source approach and embrace everyone willing to participate. We consider our community to be our greatest strength; not our competitor, like many companies tend to do.

We believe that our open source edition is our strongest asset and that we need, now more than ever, to invest in our ecosystem of partners and developers. So that we can work together to collaborate across backgrounds, experiences and ideas and mutually benefit from the software that results.
