My Service Package: Online Store Development with Shopware 6

Every shop is different. That's why you won't get an off-the-shelf solution from me, but an online store tailored specifically to your business:

1. Concept & Strategy

Before a single line of code is written, we analyze your target audience, product range and competitors together. This results in a concrete project plan with clear milestones, timeline and budget.

2. Design & Storefront

Whether a customized standard theme or a completely individual design – your shop will be professionally designed and optimized for conversion. Responsive design, fast load times and intuitive navigation are standard.

3. Development & Configuration

Installation, configuration and setup of your Shopware 6 shop including:

Product catalogs, categories and filter structures
Payment providers (PayPal, Stripe, Klarna, etc.)
Shipping providers and shipping rules
Legal texts, GDPR-compliant cookie settings
Tax and currency configuration
Email templates and checkout process

4. Custom Extensions

Standard features don't always suffice. I develop custom plugins and integrations with ERP, PIM, CRM and marketplaces that perfectly match your business processes.

5. SEO & Content

Your new shop will be search engine optimized from day one: clean URL structure, meta tags, structured data, optimized images and professional content ensure organic visibility from launch.

6. Testing & Go-Live

Before launch, your shop is thoroughly tested: functionality, performance, mobile optimization and cross-browser compatibility. The go-live is planned and coordinated – no surprises.

7. Post-Launch Support

I don't leave you alone after go-live. On request, I handle ongoing support, regular updates, performance monitoring and further development of your shop.

Who Is Shopware Shop Setup For?

Startups & Founders: You're entering e-commerce and need a professional shop that grows with you
Established Businesses: You want to digitize your sales or migrate your existing shop to Shopware 6
B2B Merchants: You need complex pricing structures, customer groups and order processes
Agencies: You're looking for an experienced developer for the technical implementation of client projects

Shopware vs. Shopify vs. WooCommerce – Why Shopware 6?

Shopify is simple but limited: custom modifications are restricted, you pay ongoing fees and are tied to Shopify's infrastructure. Growth quickly hits boundaries.

WooCommerce is flexible but WordPress-based: suitable for small shops, but performance becomes a challenge with growing requirements. Security updates demand constant attention.

Shopware 6 combines the best of both worlds: maximum flexibility, enterprise performance and full data control. Whether you sell 50 or 50,000 products – Shopware scales with your business.
