Shopware Account Plugin License List Update
The current license list overview of the shop in the account.shopware.com is sadly not really handy for customers / agencies.
When updating to later Shopware Versions, you need mostly plugin updates to get back from a broken to a working state (e.g. 6.6 > 6.7, php bin/console fails as well):
- Therefore I have to go to said website, search for the plugin name (somehow over name / description mixed, because names are handled differently in the search)
- Then click on the plugin (when i finally found it) and get the update version.
- Another plugin must be found the same way again.
A better solution would be:
- Make the search icon search over all tab categories (rent + free + archived..)
-> faster search of single plugins
- Show the technicalName in the license list table to make it "searchable" and or via CMD/STRG+F
-> Plugin Descriptions are different in store than in plugin composer.json -> always hard to find (especially with german/english translations)
- Add function to shopware-cli that you can update / migrate plugins from custom/plugins structure to composer.json
-> handy one command to select a list of plugins to update the latest version / migrate to composerThe current license list overview of the shop in the account.shopware.com is sadly not really handy for customers / agencies.

Easier customization of email templates
Customizing email templates is usually quite complex and hardly feasible for the average customer. For example, adding the manufacturer's name for each item in the order confirmation.
The entire process of customizing email templates should be significantly simplified and made much more intuitive. We also receive a large number of support requests regarding this.

AI Product Advisor
Not sure if this is on the roadmap or to be announced at SCD but I was looking for some skin care products and asking Gemini to find the right ones from a specific webshop were I always order so I asked Gemini if it would not be a good move to have this embedded directly in the webshop and this was the result:
You are hitting on the exact nerve center of where e-commerce has moved. Using an LLM as a "use-case to product" translator is a night-and-day upgrade from classical parametric search (clicking checkboxes for sizes, brands, and colors).
To answer your question directly: Yes, this absolutely exists today—both via ecosystem plugins and natively. However, the market is currently split between the "Enterprise Giants" rolling out massive native consumer assistants, and "Platform Ecosystems" relying on app stores/plugins to bridge the gap.
Here is a breakdown of how this capability looks across Shopware and its major competitors right now:
1. Shopware
Since you are working at Shopware, you'll be glad to know the community has already started building this.
- The Reality: It currently exists primarily as a plugin/extension layer rather than a core, out-of-the-box native feature.
- How it works: Extensions like the AI Product Advisor (available in the Shopware Store) integrate directly into the Shopware 6 CMS via API. It connects OpenAI assistants (like GPT-4o-mini) to the store's product catalog. It can read product properties, ask dynamic follow-up questions, and map a user's prose back into valid Shopware filters to display exact product matches with tailored explanations.
2. Shopify
Shopify has been very aggressive with its AI suite, Shopify Magic and its AI sidekick, Sidekick.
- The Reality: Native focus is mostly merchant-facing (generating copy, editing images, analyzing store data). For the front-end consumer-facing conversational shopping assistant, Shopify still relies heavily on its App Store.
- How it works: The Shopify App Store is flooded with highly advanced solutions (like Shoply AI, eesel AI, or Prefixbox). These apps embed a widget directly into the storefront, ingest the live Shopify product feed, track real-time inventory, and offer a "chat-to-checkout" experience where the AI handles the "why this product fits your goal" explanation.
3. Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Adobe treats AI through a highly enterprise, data-centric lens using Adobe Sensei / Adobe AI.
- The Reality: Magento’s native AI focuses heavily on behavioral and catalog data processing rather than an open-ended "chat box." It looks at a shopper's real-time intent and automatically injects Product Recommendation Units onto the page.
- How it works: If you want a fully conversational "explain why this works for your use case" assistant on Magento, merchants typically use third-party MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers or enterprise conversational AI integrations. This allows external LLMs to securely "query" the Magento database via natural language to help the shopper.
4. The Megabrands (The Native Benchmarks)
If you want to look at who is doing this natively at scale without plugins, look to the massive marketplaces:
- Amazon's Rufus: Rolled out globally, Rufus lives right in the search bar. You can type, "I want to start a backyard container garden in a rainy climate, what do I need?" and Rufus will curate a list of pots, soil, and seeds, explaining exactly why it chose them based on listing data and millions of user reviews.
- Walmart's Sparky: A fully agentic assistant embedded natively in their app that handles complex, goal-oriented shopping queries.
The Strategic Opportunity for Shopware
As someone shaping the future of Shopware, the massive opportunity here lies in Native Platform Integration rather than leaving it to third-party plugins.
When a shopping assistant is a third-party plugin, it frequently suffers from latency, disconnected data silos, and "hallucinated" answers because it doesn't truly understand real-time inventory or complex B2B pricing rules.
If Shopware can make a Semantic Search & Use-Case Advisor a native, core capability of its core platform, it would give merchants a massive advantage. Imagine a merchant being able to simply check a box in the Shopware Admin that says "Enable AI Conversational Discovery," and the platform natively builds the vector embeddings of the catalog—ensuring 100% accurate product recommendations with context-aware explanations.

Custom Products: Add weight to option values and include it in shipping weight calculation
In some cases the shipping weight may change substantially depending on product configuration using the Custom Products extension. However, merchants cannot define additional properties such as weight for custom products options at the moment. This makes it more difficult to calculate appropriate shipping costs.

Passwortfelder in Storefront mit "Passwort anzeigen"-Funktion ausstatten
In der Shopware-Storefront wäre es hilfreich, Passwortfelder standardmäßig mit einer Möglichkeit zum Ein- und Ausblenden des eingegebenen Passworts auszustatten, z. B. über ein Auge-Icon.
Das betrifft insbesondere:
Passwort-Wiederherstellung
Login / RegistrierungAus UX-Sicht ist das inzwischen ein verbreitetes Pattern und hilft Kunden, Tippfehler zu vermeiden. Gerade bei der Passwort-Wiederherstellung müssen Nutzer neue Passwörter oft mehrfach eingeben, wodurch eine Sichtbarkeitsoption die Bedienbarkeit verbessern würde.
Wichtig wäre, dass dies nur eine reine Frontend-Funktion ist und keine Änderung an Passwortlogik, Validierung, Sicherheit oder Speicherung vornimmt.
EN: In the Shopware Storefront, it would be helpful if password fields included an option to show and hide the entered password by default, for example via an eye icon.
This applies in particular to:
Password recovery
Login / registrationFrom a UX perspective, this has become a common pattern and helps customers avoid typos. Especially during password recovery, users often have to enter new passwords multiple times, so a visibility toggle would improve usability.
It would be important that this remains a purely frontend feature and does not change any password logic, validation, security, or storage.

Allow copying and moving banner elements within Shopping Experiences without losing links
In Shopware 5, it was possible to move individual banners within a landing page using clipboard functionality without losing the assigned links.
In Shopware 6, this is currently not possible. Images have to be reselected from the media library, text has to be rewritten, and links have to be reassigned manually.
Especially for homepages and landing pages with multiple banners, it would be highly beneficial to allow copying and repositioning content within a Shopping Experience while keeping all existing configurations (images, text, links) intact.

Mark quotes with message in the quote listing

When requesting quotes via B2B Components, shop customers have the option to send a message. Unfortunately, there is no indication in the quote list that a message has been sent. No additional fields are available either. Our client’s request is as follows: please mark quotes that include a message directly in the listing, for example using a speech bubble icon or similar.

Warenkorb Spalte "Produktnummer" auch für Angebote
Im Backend besteht derzeit im Warenkorb von Angeboten keine Möglichkeit, die Spalte „Produktnummer“ einzublenden, um die Artikelnummern der hinzugefügten Produkte direkt sehen zu können.

JSON LD
JSON LD ist seit über einem Jahrzehnt das Standardformat, um Produktdaten in Online Shops strukturiert vorzuhalten.
Es ist deutlich einfacher zu warten, separiert die Daten klar von der Markup ... und ist von Shopware zu erwarten ;)

Improve checkout message performance
The AI-generated checkout message sometimes takes 10 seconds to generate if there are many products in the shopping cart.
Many customers close the page during this time. It would be better if the messages were generated in the background beforehand or if a faster AI model were used.

Inheritable category and menu visibility in organizational units (B2B)
Currently, category and product visibility settings can only be explicitly configured per category within organizational units.
When a parent category is selected, the subcategories beneath it are not automatically included.
This leads to the following problems with extensive category structures (several hundred subcategories):
- very high manual maintenance effort
- increased susceptibility to errors
- poor maintainability when structural changes are made
- limited scalability in a B2B contextIn addition, the main menu must be controlled indirectly via individual assignments to the contained categories, as a blanket menu activation is not possible.
Target Image:
- Selecting a parent category should optionally include all subcategories automatically.
- Menu visibility should be configurable independently of individual assignments.
- Reduction of administrative effort for complex B2B structures.Specific Improvement Suggestions
A) Inheritable Category Visibility
Option 1: "Include Subcategories" CheckboxWhen selecting a category in the organizational unit:
☐ Automatically include subcategories
Behavior:
- Recursively activates all child categories.
- New subcategories are automatically included.
- Optionally overridable at the subcategory level.Technically feasible:
- Flag at the category assignment level
- Recursive query in the CategoryTreeLoader
- Lazy resolution in the Visibility ResolverB) Global Menu Sharing
New option in the organizational unit:☐ Show full main menu
Behavior:
- Menu structure is displayed
- Visibility of individual products remains adjustable
- Alternatively: Combination with category filter logicOptional:
- Visibility only structural (navigation visible, product access checked)Benefits
For Customers
- Massive time savings
- Significantly improved maintainability
- Scalability for large catalogs
- Fewer misconfigurationsFor Shopware
- Stronger B2B positioning
- Reduced support requests
- Less need for custom development
- Competitive advantage with enterprise customersCurrently, category and product visibility settings can only be explicitly configured per category within organizational units.

Change configuration category layout / homepage configuration
Recurring support tickets indicate that the shop's homepage configuration is not centralized enough.
Firstly, the shop's homepage is determined by the category layout. Secondly, the homepage can also be set within the category itself (under the "General" tab -> "Homepage" option).
These numerous different configuration options conflict with each other and lead to unnecessary support tickets. The configuration should therefore be simplified.

Quantity-based surcharges in Custom Products
Current Situation / Problem:
Custom Products allow merchants to offer additional services or configurations (e.g. sawing, drilling, processing) with fixed surcharges per selected option.
These surcharges are currently static and independent of the ordered quantity of the main product.While tiered pricing can be configured on the product level, it cannot be applied to Custom Product options or their surcharges.
Concrete Use Case
A merchant sells steel beams (e.g. HEB / HEA) and offers optional processing services via Custom Products.Example: Option “Sawing”
- Sub-options: Fixed cut, Center cut, Mitre cut
- Current behavior: fixed surcharge, e.g. €15 per cut
Desired behavior:
The price per cut should change depending on the ordered quantity of the main product, for example:- 1–3 items → €15 per cut
- 4–10 items → €10 per cut
- 11+ items → €7 per cut
The price tier is not based on the number of selected options, but on the product quantity in the cart.
Why Existing Features Are Not Sufficient:
- Advanced pricing on the product level applies globally to the product quantity, but does not affect Custom Product surcharges
- Rule-based surcharges can be enabled or disabled, but do not support tiered pricing
- Product variants are not a viable alternative because:
- They would result in a very large number of variants
- Custom Products are intentionally used for flexible, customer-specific configurationsBusiness Value / Benefits:
Relevant use case for:
- Metal processing
- Cutting and machining services
- Printing, engraving, personalizationKey benefits:
- Realistic representation of volume-based discounts for services
- Reduction of manual pricing agreements and individual offers
- Increased competitiveness for B2B shopsAvoidance of workarounds or external pricing logic

Toggle for readonly custom-fields
It would be nice to have a toggle for custom fields to mark them readonly (at least in the UI).
We often have the case that custom field values are imported from other systems (like a PIM) and should not be modified through the Shopware Admin UI. But it's nontheless nice to see their values there.
So it would be a really nice option to be able to mark them as readonly.1 vote
