The flexibility that is experienced with this way of managing, enables you to style your webshop to your own needs and wants. Furthermore, texts have become easier to manage, without the editing demanding you use a builder. When considering the future, Shopware 6 is well equipped and prepared. Because Shopware 6 is completely API based or also known as headless, the technology is Progressive Web App ready. Additionally, Shopware 6 enables easy connection to shopping platforms (like Instagram and Facebook), other marketplaces and POS-systems. The simplicity in which the Shopware 6 platform is provided, makes the development and integrations costs lower than say Magento 2.

Then there is the new ‘Rule Builder’. This function makes it possible to apply extra pricing rules that are accustomed to each country. Next to setting rules for pricing and VAT per country, you can also set extra conditions for your delivery costs. Which is only fair, because you wouldn’t want to send an item to China for the same price as you would send to a local customer. The ruler builder offers many possibilities, it is possible to add 24-hour delivery for one particular country or free delivery for a certain order amount.

 

MultiSafepay & Shopware 6

Considering Shopware is still in its beginning stages, MultiSafepay is already very positive! Shopware 6 is based on VueStorefront and MultiSafepay recently took part in a hackathon with them. These preliminary activities have led MultiSafepay to be one of the first to make collecting payments available on Progressive Web Apps.

Furthermore, the order flow has been improved, making our Second Chance function work even better. All in all, Shopware 6 seems very promising. To confirm our assumptions, we were wondering about the expert opinion of Thomas Rolink, digital builder of Conterstones Media and Shopware expertise partner of MultiSafepay:

‘’We have already started implementing the new Shopware 6. The platform is as promising as you say, very easy in usage and also accessible for diverse company ambitions. We received our Shopware 6 certification and we are implementing our full knowledge in realizing webshops. In this, MultiSafepay always carries an essential part and that is why we are expertise partners with MultiSafepay.’’
