Your Shopware 6 Plugin Developer
Looking to have a Shopware plugin developed? I program custom Shopware 6 plugins that do exactly what your business needs — from bespoke business logic and API integrations to payment, shipping and ERP extensions. Clean, upgrade-safe code that follows Shopware's plugin architecture, with tests and documentation.
Have your Shopware plugin built
A Shopware 6 plugin extends your store with functionality the standard doesn't cover — from a small checkout feature or custom pricing logic to a full ERP connection. As a Shopware plugin developer, I implement these requirements the way Shopware's plugin architecture intends: through official extension points, without touching the core.
Ready-made plugins from the Shopware Store are a good starting point, but they rarely match your processes exactly. Once workflows, data models or third-party systems are custom, a tailor-made plugin is usually the more robust and, in the long run, cheaper solution — no compromises and no features you don't need.
I work directly with merchants and as a white-label developer for agencies. You receive the full source code, clean documentation and a plugin that survives upcoming Shopware updates without costly rework.
What's included
Every Shopware 6 plugin project includes more than just code — you get a production-ready, maintainable result.
Shopware 6 plugins I develop
The full range of Shopware 6 plugin development — backend, Admin and Storefront — built the upgrade-safe way.
Custom business-logic plugins
Bespoke functionality with custom DAL entities, services and events tailored to your processes. From custom pricing and discount rules to product data fields and complete workflow extensions: where the Shopware standard ends, the plugin begins.
API & third-party integrations
Integrate external services via the Store API, Admin API and custom endpoints. I implement reliable synchronization with error handling, logging and retries — so data flows stay stable even when the other side goes down.
ERP & inventory connectors
Two-way sync of products, stock, orders and customers between Shopware and your ERP or PIM. Using the message queue and scheduled tasks, even large data volumes run performant and traceable.
Payment & shipping extensions
Custom payment methods and shipping logic that fit your checkout and fulfilment workflow — including payment-provider integrations, custom shipping-cost rules and status sync with your fulfilment partner.
Admin extensions
Custom modules, settings and components in the Shopware Administration (Vue 3), so your team can manage plugin features themselves without needing a developer for every change.
Plugin maintenance & fixes
Extend, refactor or fix existing plugins, including ones built by other developers. I take over the code, analyze issues and bring the plugin to a maintainable, update-ready state.
How plugin development works
A clear, predictable process — from the first conversation to the plugin running in your live store.
Requirements & quote
We clarify goal, scope and interfaces. For well-defined plugins you receive a fixed-price quote.
Technical concept
I design the data model, extension points and integration paths before the first line of code is written.
Implementation
Development to Shopware standards with DAL, services and events — in small, traceable steps.
Code review & tests
Automated tests and manual QA in a staging environment that mirrors your live store.
Deployment & handover
Controlled deployment, documentation and source-code handover — with ongoing maintenance if you want it.
What does Shopware plugin development cost?
Plugin and backend development is billed at €29–34/hr. Clearly scoped plugins get a fixed price; open-ended work is billed hourly. The ranges below come from completed projects.
| Project type | Effort | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Clearly scoped pluginA bounded feature with defined acceptance criteria — a checkout tweak or an additional product data field, for example. | 16 – 40 hrs | €460 – 1,400 |
| Plugin with ERP or API integrationBidirectional sync over a message queue, including error handling, logging and retry. | 40 – 120 hrs | €1,200 – 4,100 |
| Extending or fixing an existing pluginTaking over someone else's code, diagnosing faults and restoring upgrade safety — third-party plugins included. | 4 – 20 hrs | €120 – 700 |
Licence fees for paid third-party plugins and hosting costs are not included. Every fixed-price quote is preceded by a written effort estimate.
Why upgrade-safe plugin development matters
The difference between a quick hack and professional Shopware plugin development shows at the latest with the next Shopware update.
Extension points, not core hacks
I exclusively use Shopware's official extension points — events, decorators and the plugin system. The core stays untouched and updatable.
Update compatibility
Upgrade-safe plugins survive minor and major updates with minimal effort, instead of needing repairs with every release.
Lower maintenance cost
Cleanly structured, tested code is cheaper to extend and maintain — including for other developers who work with it later.
Planning a version change anyway? Then it's best to combine the plugin work with a professional Shopware 6 upgrade.
