Shopware 6 is a modern and demanding platform: Symfony and the DAL abstraction layer on the server side, Twig for the Storefront, Vue.js for the administration, and a rules and flows system that changes with every minor version. A developer who discovers Shopware on your project will do so at your expense. We publish our own Shopware 6 plugins and maintain them from one version to the next.

## What a Shopware developer does for you

### Storefront plugins

CMS elements for Shopping Experiences, product page blocks, JavaScript plugins, checkout customisation. Templates extend the theme templates without copying them, so they keep up with updates. The details are on the [custom Shopware 6 plugin development](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/expertise/shopware-plugin-developer/) page.

### Administration plugins

Vue.js modules for your teams: filterable listings, bulk actions, tracking screens, with Shopware's native access rights.

### Rules, flows and data

Custom entities, Rule Builder conditions, Flow Builder actions, scheduled tasks. Heavy processing goes through the message queue so the store stays fast.

### Version migrations

Every minor version of Shopware 6 can break plugins. We audit your installation, prepare the fixes and migrate on a copy. See our article [Shopware 6.6 to 6.7 migration: checklist and pitfalls](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/2026/06/06/shopware-6-6-to-6-7-migration-checklist-pitfalls-2026/).

### Connectors and performance

ERP, CRM, carriers and payment, as well as category page speed and indexing. See also our [Shopware B2B](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/expertise/shopware-b2b-store/) and [Shopware maintenance](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/expertise/shopware-maintenance/) pages.

## Our Shopware development rules

- **Explicitly declared services** and events rather than heavy decoration of core services.
- **Templates extended, never copied**, to keep up with changes to the Storefront theme.
- **Asynchronous messages** for syncs and expensive calculations.
- **HTTP cache respected**: dynamic blocks must not disable the cache for the whole page.
- **Testing on a copy** of your store and on the targeted Shopware versions.

## What affects the price

Our quotes start at €2,000 and stay fixed once the scope is approved:

| Factor | Impact |
| --- | --- |
| Storefront or administration | A CMS element is quick; a full administration module takes several days. |
| Data | Creating entities and their migrations adds work compared with custom fields. |
| External integration | Each third-party system adds error handling, retries and tests. |
| Versions | Covering 6.6 and 6.7 requires more testing than targeting a single version. |
