Your own online shop opens up an additional sales channel that sells around the clock, even when your physical store is closed. As a web agency from Hildesheim, we rely on Shopware Community Edition, a mature open-source platform from Germany. For you, this means: no license fees, full access to the source code and maximum flexibility in design. Your shop belongs to you, and you are not dependent on the monthly fees of a closed system. We accompany you from the first idea through implementation to ongoing support, with a dedicated contact person and no call center. For retailers between Hildesheim, Hannover and Peine that means we discuss range, shipping logic and click-and-collect in your shop, not only by email.
Why Shopware Community Edition
When choosing a shop system, there are many options, but not all serve merchants well in the long term. Closed website-builder systems are quickly set up but often restrict you in design, charge ongoing fees and tie you to a single provider. Shopware Community Edition takes a different path: it is open source, free in licensing and fully customizable. Developed by an established manufacturer from Germany, it is tailored to the local market and accounts for German legal and tax requirements from the ground up.
For small and medium-sized merchants in the B2C sector as well as for smaller B2B scenarios, Shopware offers exactly the right mix of functionality and manageability. You get a professional system that grows with your requirements without paying for oversized structures from the start. We exclusively use the Community Edition as an open-source basis and deliberately forgo paid closed-source variants so that you retain full control and independence.
No License Costs
Shopware Community Edition is open source and free in licensing, regardless of the number of your products, orders or customers. This significantly lowers ongoing costs.
Fully Customizable
From design to functions to individual extensions, almost everything can be adapted to your needs. You are not limited to predefined templates.
Your Property
The source code resides on your server and belongs to you. You are not dependent on a single provider and can have the shop developed further at any time.
Built for the German Market
Shopware accounts for German requirements around VAT, the right of withdrawal and data protection from the ground up, which eases legally sound implementation.
High-Performance
Fast loading times, a strong product search and a well-considered backend ensure a good shopping experience and efficient management of your assortment.
Active Development
A large community and an established manufacturer ensure regular security and feature updates, so your shop stays technically up to date.

What Your Online Shop Will Be Able to Do
An online shop is far more than a product list with a shopping cart. For visitors to actually become buyers, many building blocks must work together: a clear assortment structure, a fast search, a smooth ordering process and trustworthy payment and shipping options. We set up your shop so that the path from product view to checkout is as short and understandable as possible. Because every additional step in the ordering process costs potential customers.
- Clear product catalogs with categories, filters and a search function
- Detailed product pages with images, variants and descriptions
- A clearly guided ordering process with few, understandable steps
- Customer accounts with order history and saved addresses
- Legally sound foundations such as withdrawal policy and price information
- Responsive presentation for smooth use on smartphones
- Voucher and discount functions for promotions and loyal customer care
- Connection to your SEO strategy for better findability
Payment Methods That Build Trust
The selection of payment methods has a direct influence on whether a purchase is completed. If the preferred payment method is missing, many customers abandon the purchase. That is why we set up a fitting selection of common and trustworthy payment procedures. Which methods make sense for you depends on your audience and your products. We advise you on this in the initial consultation and integrate the procedures cleanly and securely into your shop.
In the German market, purchase on invoice, SEPA direct debit, prepayment by bank transfer as well as credit and debit cards and established online payment services are particularly popular. For smaller B2B scenarios, purchase on invoice with a defined payment term is often especially important. All payment data is transmitted encrypted, and we ensure that the integration meets the applicable security standards. This creates a checkout that gives buyers a secure feeling.
Purchase on Invoice
Especially in the German market and the smaller B2B sector, this is a valued payment method that builds trust and can increase the conversion rate.
SEPA Direct Debit
Convenient collection for recurring and one-time purchases, popular with regular customers and well suited for subscription and reorder models.
Cards and Payment Services
Credit and debit cards as well as established online payment services cover the expectations of a broad buyer base and speed up checkout.
A checkout that does not slow you down
Every additional step in the ordering process costs completed purchases. We guide your customers on a short path from cart to order: guest checkout instead of forced account creation, few mandatory fields and shipping costs that are visible early. This keeps the hurdle low right up to the final click.
- Guest checkout with no forced account creation
- Shipping costs and delivery time visible early
- Few, understandable steps to the order
Mapping Shipping Cleanly
Shipping costs and delivery conditions are among the most common reasons for purchase abandonment. That is why we map your shipping logic clearly and understandably. Whether weight-based tiers, free shipping above a certain order value, different shipping methods or zones for domestic and international delivery: Shopware offers the necessary flexibility to map your individual conditions. We set up the shipping rules so that customers see the costs early and transparently instead of being surprised just before checkout.
On request, we connect common shipping service providers so that shipping labels and tracking are efficiently integrated into your workflow. The selection of multiple shipping methods, such as standard and express delivery, as well as the mapping of delivery times and in-store pickup, can also be implemented. This creates a shipping process that is understandable for your customers and manageable for you in day-to-day operations.
Legal Certainty from the Start
Interfaces to Your Systems
An online shop only realizes its full benefit when it does not stand isolated but works together with your other systems. Manual double maintenance of products, inventory and orders costs time and leads to errors. Through interfaces, your Shopware shop can be linked with inventory management, accounting or point-of-sale systems so that data flows automatically. Which connections make sense we clarify individually, because not every shop needs every interface from the start.
Thanks to Shopware's open architecture and documented API, such connections can be implemented cleanly. Typical scenarios are the automatic synchronization of inventory, the transfer of orders to accounting or the synchronization of product data from a leading system. We implement interfaces so that they remain maintainable even with future updates. If a connection goes beyond the standard scope, we factor that into the planning and agree the effort transparently with you.
Inventory Management
Automatic synchronization of products, prices and stock so that your shop and your warehouse always have the same status and overselling is avoided.
Accounting
Transfer of order and invoice data to your accounting to reduce manual entries and speed up the processes around the sale.
Custom Connections
Via the documented API, additional systems can be linked. We assess the effort and agree implementation and costs transparently with you.
A Shopping Experience That Convinces
Whether a visitor becomes a buyer is often decided in the details. Meaningful product images, understandable descriptions, clearly recognizable prices and an ordering process without unnecessary hurdles make the difference. We design your shop so that customers quickly find their way around and build trust. A well-considered assortment structure with sensible categories and filters helps ensure that no one loses the overview even with a larger offering. On smartphones in particular, through which a large share of online shopping runs, everything must work smoothly.
A frequently underestimated lever is the completion of the ordering process. The fewer steps and mandatory fields there are, the more likely customers are to complete the purchase. We reduce the checkout to the essentials, offer a guest checkout where it makes sense and ensure that shipping costs and delivery times become visible early on. This way we avoid nasty surprises that would otherwise lead to abandonment. Trust signals such as secure payment, transparent contact options and comprehensible return conditions round off the shopping experience.
Clear Product Presentation
Meaningful images, understandable descriptions and clearly visible prices give customers the certainty they need for a purchasing decision.
Smooth Checkout
Few, understandable steps and a guest checkout where sensible lower the hurdle to completing a purchase and reduce abandonment in the ordering process.
Building Trust
Secure payment, transparent shipping information and comprehensible return conditions give buyers a good feeling and strengthen your credibility.

Typical shop starting points from the region
Anonymised, illustrative project journeys from our project experience – not named client references and not guaranteed outcomes. We discuss your situation in the free initial consultation.
Maintenance and Support After Launch
With the launch of your online shop, actual operations begin. A shop processes payments and sensitive customer data and is therefore particularly in focus when it comes to security and currency. Security updates must be applied promptly, functions checked and backups created regularly. Through our maintenance, we take on these tasks for you so that you can focus on your business while your shop runs technically reliably.
Beyond that, an online shop rarely becomes a self-runner on its own. Assortments change, new promotions are added, and buyer behavior provides valuable hints for improvements. We support you in continuously developing the shop, for example through additional functions, a better product presentation or linking with Google Ads for targeted product advertising. This way your shop does not stand still but grows with your goals.

Who a Shopware Shop Suits in the Region
An online shop with Shopware is worthwhile for many business models. In the retail sector, retailers who want to offer their assortment beyond the physical store benefit, as do trades and craft businesses with complementary products or materials. Smaller service providers who sell packages or digital offerings also find a fitting basis in Shopware. For smaller B2B constellations with a manageable customer base and purchase on invoice, the platform is suitable as well. In the initial consultation, we honestly assess whether an online shop is the right step for your situation.
