Shopware Administration Extension
Many requirements cannot be mapped via the storefront alone. The Admin Panel is the control center of your shop. A custom Shopware Administration Extension allows you to massively accelerate internal processes and automate error-prone manual workflows.
Tailor-Made Workflows for Your Team
By default, Shopware offers good management for products and orders. But every company has its own processes. I adapt the backend exactly to your needs:
- Custom Modules: Complete new menu items for e.g., supplier management, return guides, or commission settlements.
- Dashboard Widgets: Individual KPIs and statistics directly on the dashboard of the Admin Panel.
- Custom Fields (Sets): Specific input masks for products, categories, or customers that go beyond the standard custom fields.
- Process Buttons: "One-Click" actions that trigger complex API calls or status updates in the background (e.g., "Report goods to logistics").
Technology: Vue.js in Action
The Shopware 6 Administration is based on Vue.js. As a developer, I use the "Shopware Component Library" to build seamless extensions that do not differ visually or functionally from the standard. This guarantees:
- High Usability: Your employees don't have to learn new software.
- Performance: Fast loading times due to Single Page Application architecture.
- Update Safety: Use of official extension points and compatibility with upcoming Shopware versions.
Digital efficiency starts in the backend. Save time every day with tools made for your business.
Frequently Asked Questions about Admin Extensions (FAQ)
- Can I customize the Shopware 6 Administration?
- Yes, the Shopware 6 Admin interface is based on Vue.js and is extremely flexible to extend. From simple additional fields to complete custom modules and menu items, everything is possible.
- How do I add custom fields to products?
- Simple fields can be configured via "Custom Fields". For complex logic, we develop a plugin that extends the data structure and provides new input masks in the product detail page.
- Can external data be displayed in the Shopware Admin?
- Yes, we can connect external APIs (e.g., from ERP or logistics providers) and display the data directly in real-time in the Administration (e.g., current delivery status, credit check).
- Is it possible to automate Admin processes?
- Absolutely. We can add buttons that trigger specific actions (e.g., "Print shipping label" or "Send order to production") to save manual clicks.
- What technology does Shopware use for the backend?
- The Shopware 6 backend is a Single Page Application (SPA) based on Vue.js (JavaScript Framework) and Twig. Communication with the server is via the Admin API.
- Can I restrict rights for specific Admin extensions?
- Yes, Shopware offers a granular ACL (Access Control List) system. We can define for each new module which user groups have read, write, or delete rights.
- Can order overviews be customized?
- Yes, we can extend the columns in the listings (overviews) to see important additional info directly at a glance without having to open every order.
- Are Admin extensions update-safe?
- Yes, if they are implemented cleanly via the plugin system and Shopware's "Component Override" mechanism, they remain stable even after updates.
- Can I create custom CMS blocks for Shopping Experiences?
- Yes, custom CMS elements are a typical Admin extension. We create new blocks that editors can then simply use via drag & drop in the Shopping Experiences.
- How long does it take to develop an Admin module?
- That depends heavily on complexity. A simple module for data display can be finished in a few days, while complex process controls take longer.
