1. Allow for CMS elements to be hidden on category pages when product listing page is not the first page

   When a category layout contains some text or images together with the product listing element, that text or element may be indexed by search engines multiple times for each page of the listing, leading to duplicate indexing and results.

   It would be helpful if certain elements could be hidden once the customer or the indexing bot navigates through the listing pages, or a URL contains the ?p= parameter. This would prevent redundant indexing.

2. Enable "add Product" function directly from the Cart or Checkout

   In the current state, once a customer reaches the shopping basket or checkout, adding more products typically requires leaving the page, searching for the desired item elsewhere in the shop, and then returning to complete the order. This is critical for the conversion rate.
   For customers (B2C and B2B) this extra navigation step disrupts the workflow and increases the time needed to complete a purchase.

   To solve this, we propose introducing a product search field and add-to-basket function directly within the shopping basket and checkout view.

3. More possibilities for SEO

   The basic approach and usability are quite good, but it fails in details that have a big impact:
   - Files are made visible along with ID in the URLs, this provides dead links when files are updated. We provide datasheets that are kept up to date. Currently we have 2,000 dead links and had to have the URL adjusted ourselves.
   - With reference to point 1: There is no tool for redirects.
   - The ID issue also exists with images.
   - The image files are too large due to the zoom on the product detail page, unless you use webp as the format.
   - The technical SEO still has a lot of play: pages in different languages are often not recognized as separate pages, load times are too large, etc.
   - Canonical tags are not always recognized by search engines
   - You can't deindex pages in the backend (e.g. notepad, shopping cart, or pages behind the login), this must always be done via htaccess. Here, however, usually only the agency has access
   - Not all pages of the store can be accessed and managed, e.g. notepad.
   - URLs for products are taken over on the basis of the name, but should be written exclusively in lower case.
   - A blog is still on the roadmap

4. B2B Suite - Make orders more visual

   Already placed orders should be able to be filtered by products as well. A list of all products that also shows the product with a picture makes repeat ordering easier than having to search for the desired product from an old order.

6. I am trying to customize SEO URL slugs and encountered an issue

   When I use variable meta-title in the url template, it works only for main products, not for variants, even if there is meta title inheritance enabled. But even when I check html of the variant page, meta title is not there. I don't know if you made it on purpose or it is a bug, but it means: I cannot use meta title variable for variants when creating a url.

   This lead to my other thought: let's turn Use single canonical URL for all variants - because of course we do not want google to mark it as duplicates when we are using inheritance for all the descriptions and stuff. But when I turn it on, you force me to pick one of the variants. But I don't logically want it to be one of the variants, i want it to be main product. That leads me to another problem that I tried to solve with you: main product cant have the same product number as variant. So I cannot create variant as main product - so I cannot use it as main product for canonical URL. BUT! I think you would tell me: change storefront presentation, lets go to Product-Variants-Storefront presentation-Product lsitings and instead of Main product you could pick one variant and go with it. But I don't want to do it, because if I choose it as "Main product" in the storefront it is more beneficial since it shows, that there are more variants and price starts at.... You know what I mean? I don't want the specific size of the product be as main variant, you actually told me not to, since you require variant and main product to have different product number.

   This is actually really frustrating. Because I want it (as it should be):
   - main product - main URL - it is main product page that I want to be crawled by search engines
   - variants - url with whatever slug added to the main product URL, but I don't want Google to crawl it.
   Sounds pretty easy, right? And it even works like that, just not in case if I want to use MetaTitle as a slug.

   You give me these:
   - main product - main URL (i want to use meta title for that and you allow it since it is in the list of supported variants)
   - variant - can't use meta title - it makes it different url, which is ugly and not practical
   - seo canonical - can use only variant, not meta title, so basically I have many duplicate pages and it takes us down from Google.

   When I use variable meta-title in the url template, it works only for main products, not for variants, even if there is meta title inheritance enabled. But even when I check html of the variant page, meta title is not there. I don't know if you made it on purpose or it is a bug, but it means: I cannot use meta title variable for variants when creating a url.

7. Change product detail page layout for more than 25 items

   EN
   
   If a separate layout has been designed for some products, for example because these products have a special property for which there should be an explanation, then I can select the products under Content > Experience worlds > Layout assignment > Assign layout. However, the selection list is limited to 25 elements. To do this, we have added a filter to filter the selection for additional products. However, this only works as long as the search terms are different.

   If I have 80 products with, for example, ‘variant’ in the name, I can only select 25, after which further products could only be selected if there was another unique criteria with which further products could be selected. The only other alternative is to select each product individually and then change the layout manually.

   It is not possible to link the products to the layout via a dynamic product group and it is also not possible to set a new layout in the additional change.

   DE

Das funktioniert aber nur so lange, wie die Suchbegriffe unterschiedlich ausfallen.

   Haben ich 80 Produkte mit zum Beispiel "Variante" im Namen kann ich nur 25 auswählen, danach gingen weitere nur noch, wenn es ein weiteres eindeutiges Kriterium gäbe, mit dem weitere Produkte ausgewählt werden können. Die einzige andere Alternative jedes Produkt einzeln auszuwählen und dann das Layout manuell zu ändern.

8. Zusätzliche Spalte und Kommentarfeld bei SW6 Backend Bestellungen I Additional column and comment field for SW6 backend orders

   Aktuell steht bei SW6 Backend Bestellungen nur ein Feld, mit Dropdown Menü für die Suche nach Artikelnummer oder Artikelname zur Verfügung. Oder die leere Positionszeile.

   In SW5 gab es bei Backendbestellungen je eine Spalte für Artikelnummer und eine für Artikelname, Preis, Steuer, etc. Man konnte die Artikelnummer verwenden, den Artikelnamen, Preis, Steuer etc. bearbeiten und die Bestellung mit den überschriebenen Daten anlegen. Damit war alles geregelt und konnte sauber an Kunden, Lager, etc. übergeben werden.

   Diese weitere Spalte bei den Backend Bestellungen fehlt in SW6. Damit hat man nicht mehr beide Felder zur Verfügung und kann keine Änderungen mehr vornehmen, da die Datenbank dann scheinbar nach einem nichtvorhandenen Eintrag sucht und die Eingabe nicht abgeschlossen werden kann.

   Gibt es dafür eine Lösung?

   Ebenfalls fehlt in dieser Ebene der Backend Bestellung noch ein Kommentarfeld, z.B. für Kundeninterne Nummern, Export-Angaben, etc… In SW5 gab es dafür die Freitextfelder.

   Das Kommentarfeld steht erst im nächsten Schritt zur Verfügung. Um dahin zu gelangen, muss man die Bestellung speichern, woraufhin jedoch schon die Bestellbestätigung versendet wird. Auf der man eben gern noch ein paar Angaben gemacht hätte, bevor sie zum Kunden gesendet wird.

   Gibt es dafür eine Lösung?

   ---

   There is currently only one field available for SW6 backend orders, with a dropdown menu for searching by article number or article name. Or the empty item line.

   In SW5 there was one column for article number and one for article name, price, tax, etc. for backend orders. You could use the article number, edit the article name, price, tax etc. and create the order with the overwritten data. This meant that everything was organised and could be transferred cleanly to customers, warehouses, etc.

   This additional column in the backend orders is missing in SW6. This means that you no longer have both fields available and can no longer make any changes, as the database then appears to search for a non-existent entry and the entry cannot be finalised.

   Is there a solution for this?

   A comment field is also missing at this level of the backend order, e.g. for internal customer numbers, export details, etc... In SW5 there were free text fields for this purpose.

   The comment field is only available in the next step. To get there, you have to save the order, after which the order confirmation is sent. You would like to have entered a few more details before it is sent to the customer.

   Is there a solution for this?

10. Social Shopping / Product comparison: Media URL with sales channel domain

    EN
    We often receive enquiries about how image links in product comparisons or social shopping can be adjusted to use the domain of the exporting sales channel. There were already tickets for this in the old issue tracker: e.g. https://issues.shopware.com/issues/NEXT-17674.

    However, this ticket was then created last year https://github.com/shopware/shopware/issues/4807, reporting that CDN media were receiving the wrong domain.

    Programme request:
    Please adjust the URL determination for media so that the handling of media links follows the same pattern as the product links within a product comparison. Of course, it must be possible to resolve the link. CDNs must also be taken into account, whereby the request was also made that it should be possible to resolve the domains per sales channel.

    According to tests in Shopware 6.7.4.2, the domain from APP_URL is used during export; no adjustment to other sales channels is made. Neither AI nor humans can find any information in the (dev) documentation as to whether and, if so, how it is possible to change this behaviour. If there are already settings options for the media link, it would be necessary to document these clearly and display them in the search.

    ---

    Es kommt öfter die Nachfrage, wie in Produktvergleichen oder Social Shopping die Bildlinks so angepasst werden können, dass sie die Domäne des exportierenden Verkaufskanals nutzen. Da zu gab es im alten Issuetracker bereits Tickets: z.B. https://issues.shopware.com/issues/NEXT-17674.

    Jedoch wurde im letzten Jahr dann dieses Ticket erstellt https://github.com/shopware/shopware/issues/4807, worin gemeldet wurde, dass CDN Medien die falsche Domain erhielten.

    Programmwunsch:
    Bitte die URL Ermittlung für Medien so anpassen, dass die Behandlung von Medienlinks dem gleichen Schema folgt wie die Produktlinks innerhalb eines Produktvergleichs. Natürlich muss der Link aufgelöst werden können. Außerdem berücksichtigt werden müssen naturlich CDNs, wobei hier auch der Wunsch geäußert wurde, dass es ebenfalls möglich sein soll die Domänen pro Verkaufskanal aufzulösen.

    Gemäß Versuchen in Shopware 6.7.4.2 wird beim Export die Domäne aus der APP_URL verwendet, eine Anpassung an andere Verkaufskanäle erfolgt nicht. Weder KI noch Mensch finden in der (Dev-)Dokumentation Hinweise, ob und wenn ja wie, eine Änderung des Verhaltens möglich ist. Falls es bereits Einstellmöglichkeiten für den Medienlink gibt, wäre es notwendig diese verständlich zu dokumentieren und in der Suche anzuzeigen.

11. Optimization of plugin management and configuration in Shopware 6 Admin

    We are having difficulties finding and managing the apps and plugins installed in Shopware 6 within the admin area. Since many standard features from SW5 have been removed and must now be replaced by apps, there is no central overview for these extensions. The apps are spread out across different sections, without a clear indication of which plugin provides which functionality. This leads to issues with managing and identifying extensions.

    Note from Shopware Support:
    We think it's a very good idea. For many colleagues in support, it is often very difficult to find out which plugin inserts which functions and where these are configured.

    Main Issues:

    Scattered Apps: Apps are spread out across various sections of the admin area (e.g., Marketing, System, Settings), making them difficult to find.

    No Clear Function Assignment: After installation, it is often unclear which plugin is responsible for which function. Only after disabling a plugin does it become apparent what it was doing.

    Challenges with CMS Plugins: With multiple CMS plugins active at the same time, it’s almost impossible to figure out which plugin is being used in which Shopping Experience without manually testing each one.

    Shopify Example:
    We find that Shopify has a clear structure where all apps are centrally located under one "Apps" section, with direct access to configuration, making it super easy to manage.

    Use Cases for Clarification:

    1 - Finding an App:
    If i want to configure a recently installed plugin. However, it is scattered across the admin area (e.g., partly under Marketing, partly under System), and there is no central overview. The user wastes time searching for the app.

    Use Case 2 - Unclear Function Assignment:
    As a shop owner, i noticed a functionality in our shop (e.g., "Products in saved shopping carts" under Marketing) but does not know whether it’s part of the core system or added by a plugin. Suggestion: Clearly indicate which function is provided by which plugin.

    Wanted improvements:

    Introduce a central "Plugin" section where all installed extensions are listed and can be configured.

    Clearly label in the admin area which functions belong to which plugins. Maybe with an Icon and text on hover.

    Improve the identification of CMS plugins within Shopping Experiences.

12. Standardize shortName for Categories to ensure App and Headless stability

    Shopware provides a shortName for SalesChannels to enable environment-agnostic identification, yet this primitive is missing for Categories. This inconsistency forces App developers and Headless integrators to rely on volatile SEO URLs or environment-specific UUIDs to identify "Page Types" (e.g., Home, Support, Landing Page).

    By extending shortName to the Category entity, Shopware would provide a stable, indexed, and semantic developer contract. This eliminates the need for redundant repository searches or brittle Custom Field lookups, which currently penalize performance and complicate CI/CD pipelines. Standardizing this across core entities ensures that external systems can resolve both "Shop Context" and "Location Context" using the same native logic, drastically simplifying the integration of marketing, tracking, and CMS-driven Apps.

13. "not specified" salutation handling

    This is handled rather inconsistently in Shopware. In some but not all places, if you leave out the salutation, Shopware searches the database for the "not_specified" entry that comes with the installation and inserts it if found. If also sometimes inserts it just for display in the Administration if the real salutation reference is null, so you wouldn't even know the real value without looking directly into the database, but again, not always.

    Crucially, that "not_specified" entry can be changed and deleted at will, so there's no guaranteed meaning behind it.

    Also, sometimes like in the contact form the salutation is randomly required. You can delete it for addresses and the database has a default value of null, but then there is a non-configurable validator that won't let you through the checkout process if no salutation is given. And again, "given" can just mean that you set the "not_specified" salutation, which can have any meaning you assign to it.

    This is an intransparent mess and should be changed. The very legality of requiring a salutation is now even in question. Just allow null values for all salutations in the application, it's already allowed in the DB structure, stop enforcing it in random places without a way to turn it off, and make the display name of a "null" salutation translatable via config.
