Shopware 6 vs Magento 2: What eCommerce Solution to Choose

The article was initially published in WebMeridian blog.

For any business, choosing an eCommerce platform that aligns with the budget and objectives of the business plan is essential. It doesn’t take long to realize that there are many options, each claiming to be the best for your needs.

How do you go about picking the right one? Well, in our opinion, reviews present an opportunity to overview the platforms for preliminary research, which is great for narrowing down options.

In this article, we look at two of the most attractive eCommerce platforms on the CMS market: Shopware 6 and Magento 2. They offer access to all the features a business can need to run an eCommerce operation. That doesn’t mean they are the same. Shopware 6 is an intuitive, modernized, and easy-to-use platform, while Magento 2 offers a much broader canvas, perfect for advanced customization.

To find out which one fits your needs and mission, let’s dive into a comparison between Shopware vs Magento to see how they stack up against each other.

Shopware 6 vs. Magento 2: General Overview

Shopware 6 is an open commerce platform based on Symfony Framework and Vue and supported by a global community and more than 1,500 extensions for various functions.

Shopware is well known for its open-source technology, open and collaborative community of developers, agencies, and merchants contributing to its innovation and growth.

On average, Shopware 6 is easier to use, doesn’t require a lot of technical skill to customize, but offers enough variety and capabilities to run an eCommerce operation with an easy setup and deployment.

Magento 2 is an open-source platform owned by Adobe. The platform is based on the Model View ViewModel (MVVM) system, giving it a more robust separation between the Model and View layers, and it is developed in PHP and Zend framework.

Magento 2 is known for being a flexible and scalable eCommerce solution, having native AI, B2B, and B2C capabilities, and platform architecture, and enjoys a large community of developers, merchants, and partners contributing to the platform’s innovation and growth.

Magento 2 vs Shopware 6: Comparison

To give you a deeper look into what you can get from Shopware and Magento, join us on a comparison based on the most cited deciding factors when looking for an eCommerce platform.

Pricing

What can you expect to pay when using one or the other? Let’s talk pricing:

Shopware 6

Shopware pricing is tiered, with features and support level enhancements as you go up the tiers. They include:

Rise — This is the basic plan for small businesses that do not require more than basic features. It starts from $600 at the time of writing.

Evolve — This plan is designed for mid-sized businesses that need more advanced features like B2B features, CMS rules, quick view, advanced search, DDoS protection, and more.

Beyond — This premium plan has enterprise-level features like high availability architecture, incident service level target, surge capacity monitoring and response, global scaling on AWS and Azure, and more.

Shopware development and customization are enabled by the platform’s free, open-source version called Shopware Community Edition with access to core features.

Shopware has a flexible pricing model based on your annual gross merchandise value (GMV) and average order value (AOV), so you only pay for what you use.

There are no hidden costs or commissions, with a full breakdown of features and support shown clearly in each plan. Shopware 6 offers a free trial for 30 days for all plans.

Magento 2

Magento has two main pricing plans. They include:

Magento Open Source — This is the free, open-source version of Magento 2 with access to core features, which is ideal for developers and merchants who want to build custom shops.

Adobe Commerce — This is the paid/managed version of Magento 2 that gives you access to a long list of advanced, out-of-the-box platform features. Within Adobe Commerce are two sub-plans:

Adobe Commerce Pro — The all-in-one package for merchants of any size or business model.

Adobe Commerce Managed Services — The plan with expert-level managed services to minimize disruptions and decrease risk.

Both sub-plans rely on pricing based on your annual gross merchandise value (GMV) and the average order value (AOV).

It is worth noting that Adobe Commerce does not have very transparent pricing, will charge you fees for switching plans, and require a minimum one-year contract with Adobe, among other concessions that may not be for the merchant or developer looking for customization.

Shopware 6 and Magento 2 have different plans for different needs and budgets. Shopware looks more flexible, transparent, and affordable than Magento 2. However, Magento 2 has a slight edge over Shopware in the features, support, and integrations departments.

In your test ride of Magento 2 vs Shopware 6, use the free trial or open-source versions to experience them first-hand.

Customization

The level of customization you can do dictates how true to your vision the online store can be. Both platforms provide different levels of customization, and here is how they compare:

Shopware 6

Shopware provides a visual page builder for creating pages with drag & drop.

There is a rule builder for creating individual rules for specific purposes.

The storytelling feature allows you to guide customers on a designed journey through your shop with scroll navigation.

The app marketplace allows you to access an extensive library of extensions and plugins for adding more functionality or integration to your store.

Magento 2

Magento provides a similar drag & drop interface for easy customization of content and design.

Roles and permissions can be set up for each area with precision.

There is native AI that can be used for customer segmentation, product recommendations, visual similarity search, etc.

Magento 2 users can access an extensive library of extensions and plugins for adding functionality.

The Shopware software experience could improve customization by

Reducing its dependence on plugins and extensions to provide advanced functionality and integration.

Providing a more extensive library of plugins and extensions without compatibility issues that some suffer.

Making advanced customization easier. Most users who want advanced customization may need to use the API or Symfony framework to develop custom plugins or modify the core code.

Magento 2, on the other hand, could improve by

Reducing the complexity of the platform, which often gets more complicated as you try more advanced customization.

Offering the platform at friendlier prices and more transparency on what to expect.

Making updates easier. Updates are lengthy and may sometimes cause compatibility issues with your extensions or customizations after updating.

SEO & Marketing

The Shopware eCommerce platform provides easy access to SEO and marketing features from the admin panel. You can easily change meta titles, meta descriptions, robots.txt, canonical tags, URLs, sitemaps, etc. In addition to that, you can automate the SEO settings for products, categories, and manufacturers.

You can use features like Storytelling, Flow Builder, and Rule Builder to specify how customers experience the brand and product, how processes flow based on actions, and rules for functions like offering discounts, coupons, free shipping, or other incentives.

Magento 2 leverages the same standard SEO capabilities but offers unique features that further advance its CMS offering. This includes the Native AI, in the form of Adobe Sensei, for AI-powered marketing and SEO functionalities.

The B2B and B2C capabilities mentioned earlier help with marketing to specific customer bases. At the same time, the Adobe integrations allow users access to add functionalities that improve the eCommerce store customer experience and positively impact SEO and marketing efforts.

On the SEO & Marketing front, Magento goes the extra mile to integrate not just a comprehensive set of tools but also the latest in technology.

Extensions

As mentioned, Shopware 6 depends on extensions and plugins to extend its functionalities and advanced customization. The only problem is that it doesn’t have as many of them as it could or should. However, you can find apps for CMS, custom products, shopping options, payment methods, marketing tools, and more.

Magento 2, on the other hand, has a much larger library of more than 5000 plugins and extensions compared to Shopware, which has slightly over 1000 plugins and extensions. On this front, Magento emerges as the one with the edge.

When choosing an eCommerce platform, it’s worth noting that both provide what you would need if you were a small or mid-sized business, but Shopware’s abilities may taper out on the advanced end.

eCommerce Features

In a head-to-head of the eCommerce CMS features presented by these platforms, we see a unique set of capabilities in each. Here is a look at the highlights:

Product management

Both platforms allow you to create and manage various types of products, including simple, grouped, bundles, configurable and downloadable products. Shopware 6 has the more user-friendly interface for product management with a visual editor for customizing the look and feel of product pages.

Magento 2 brings more advanced features for product management, including price rules, product reviews, custom attributes, and more.

Scalability

Both platforms are scalable and can handle large volumes of transactions or traffic. Magento 2 stands out as the more suitable option for large scale and enterprise-level businesses that need more flexibility and customization.

Shopware 6 is more suitable for small medium-sized eCommerce businesses that require a simpler deployment.

Payment options

Both platforms support a wide range of payment methods including popular ones like Amazon Pay, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, and more. Shopware 6 supports over 30 payment methods while Magento 2 supports over 50.

Magento 2 presents more options for configuring payment methods, such as setting minimum and maximum order amounts, enabling or disabling specific countries, and more.

Design and themes

Magento 2 and Shopware 6 have a variety of themes, both free and paid, that are customizable and responsive. Shopware 6 offers over 100 themes, while Magento 2 has more than double that number.

Shopware 6 has the advantage of having a visual editor that allows customization without coding. Using Magento 2 designs and themes may require more coding skills, but offer more opportunity for modification.

Shopping cart

The two platforms offer ways to create and manage the shopping cart for customers. Magento 2 offers more options for configuring, allowing you to set things like minimum and maximum order quantities, enabling persistent cart, applying coupon codes and more.

Shopware 6 is simpler and more user-friendly, but may be less flexible in comparison.

Checkout

On both platforms, you can provide a fast and secure checkout. You can choose from different checkout types including multi-page, one-page, or one-step checkout. You can also customize the checkout fields, enable order comments, add terms and conditions and more.

Magento will give you access to more advanced features like split database performance, PayPay in-context checkout, instant purchases, and more. The checkout on Shopware is more modern and intuitive, but may not have all the functionalities.

Other eCommerce features like shipping methods, SEO & marketing order management, and tax calculation are all provided, but the comparison plays out the same; Magento offers more options to customize, with a steeper learning curve depending on what you want to change, while Shopware 6 makes the process much easier, but with less flexibility.

Support & Community

Shopware 6 has a growing pool of developers, partners, and customers who can provide you with help and advice. You can access the community forum, the Slack channel, the blog, the documentation, the academy, and the events connected with other Shopware users and experts.

You can also get professional support from Shopware and its certified partners, depending on where you are on your plan. You can choose between:

Shopware Community Store — This is a free support option where you can ask questions and get answers from other Shopware users in the community forum.

Shopware Professional Support — This is a paid support option where you can access technical assistance from Shopware via email or phone, as well as get exclusive features, security patches, and updates.

Shopware Enterprise Support — This premium support option gives you access to dedicated account management, SLA guarantees, priority response, and 24/7 emergency support from Shopware.

When we compare Shopware vs. Magento 2, the former has a smaller community that mainly speaks German, which may introduce difficulties in communication or finding information in other languages.

Magento 2 has a large and active community of developers, customers, and partners that can give you help and advice with a community forum, the Stack Exchange site, the blog, the academy, and more.

You can get support from options that include:

Magento Open Source Support — This offers a free support option where you can ask the community forum or Stack Exchange site for advice.

Magento Commerce Support — This is a paid support option where you can get technical assistance from Magento via phone or email. You get exclusive access to patches, hosting, updates, and exclusive features.

Magento Business Intelligence Support — This is a premium support option where you can get data analysis and insights from Magento via email or phone, in addition to dashboarding, advanced reporting, and data visualization.

Why Switch from Shopware to Shopify?

For businesses looking to scale their online presence, choosing the right e-commerce platform is crucial. While Shopware is a strong contender for businesses in Europe, especially those looking for a flexible, customizable platform, Shopify has emerged as a global leader, renowned for its ease of use, scalability, and robust app ecosystem.

Switching from Shopware to Shopify might seem like a daunting process, but the long-term benefits of the migration can significantly enhance your business operations. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons why moving from Shopware to Shopify could be a game-changer for your e-commerce business.

1. Ease of Use and User-Friendly Interface

One of the most significant advantages of Shopify over Shopware is its user-friendly interface.Renowned for its intuitive and user-friendly interface, Shopify makes it easy for both beginners and seasoned e-commerce professionals to navigate and manage their stores. Its drag-and-drop functionality, simple theme customization, and straightforward product management tools enable you to build and manage a store without requiring extensive technical knowledge.

In contrast, Shopware’s learning curve is steeper. Although it provides a high degree of flexibility and customization, especially for those with coding expertise, Shopware can be complex for users without a technical background. Shopify’s simplicity makes it an appealing option for businesses that want to focus more on growing their store rather than spending time managing the technical aspects of their platform.

2. Scalability for Growing Businesses

As your business grows, your e-commerce platform should be able to handle increased traffic, sales, and product listings without compromising on performance. Shopify is built for scalability, making it a reliable choice for small, medium, and enterprise-level businesses.

Unlimited bandwidth and products: Shopify supports unlimited product listings and bandwidth, meaning your site will not slow down or encounter performance issues as your store grows.

High-traffic optimization: Shopify is designed to handle spikes in traffic, such as during flash sales or holiday seasons, ensuring a smooth shopping experience for your customers.

Infrastructure for large businesses: With Shopify Plus, Shopify’s enterprise solution, businesses that require advanced customization and complex integrations can access a highly scalable platform with dedicated support and infrastructure.

While Shopware also offers scalable options, especially with its enterprise edition, the process of scaling in Shopware often requires more manual effort and development. Shopify’s cloud-based infrastructure takes care of most of these concerns automatically, offering a more hands-off approach to scaling your business.

3. Global Reach with Multi-Currency and Multi-Language Support

Shopify has a distinct advantage over Shopware when it comes to expanding your business internationally. With Shopify’s built-in multi-currency functionality, businesses can easily sell to customers around the world and offer localized payment options. You can enable customers to browse and pay in their local currency, reducing friction in the checkout process and increasing conversions.

Additionally, Shopify supports multi-language storefronts. With Shopify’s translation apps and features, you can create localized versions of your website to cater to customers in different regions. Shopify’s extensive app store offers several tools to help with language translation and currency conversion, making it easier to grow your business in global markets.

While Shopware has some multi-language and multi-currency capabilities, it requires more manual configuration or third-party plugins, which can make the process more cumbersome compared to Shopify’s streamlined features.

4. Robust App Ecosystem

One of Shopify’s biggest advantages is its robust app ecosystem, which enhances the functionality of your store. With over 6,000 apps available in the Shopify App Store, businesses can easily extend the functionality of their store without the need for custom development. These apps cover everything from SEO optimization and marketing automation to inventory management and customer service.

Some categories of apps you can find on Shopify include:

Marketing and sales tools: Apps for email marketing, social media advertising, and abandoned cart recovery.

Customer service: Live chat, helpdesk, and customer feedback tools to enhance customer support.

Inventory management: Tools for tracking inventory, managing suppliers, and automating reorders.

SEO and analytics: Apps that help you optimize your store for search engines and track key performance metrics.

This vast app ecosystem allows businesses to quickly add new features, experiment with different strategies, and tailor their store’s functionality to their specific needs. Shopware also has a marketplace for plugins and integrations, but it doesn’t match the breadth and depth of Shopify’s app offerings. Additionally, many Shopify apps offer easy integration with minimal setup, whereas Shopware plugins often require more technical expertise to install and configure.

5. Integrated Payment Gateways

Shopify stands out for its unparalleled flexibility in payment processing, offering a wide range of options to suit different needs.Shopify integrates with over 100 payment gateways, including popular options like PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Additionally, Shopify’s own payment solution, Shopify Payments, allows businesses to process transactions directly through Shopify, saving on third-party transaction fees and simplifying the payment setup.

Shopify’s support for multiple payment gateways allows you to offer a variety of payment options to your customers, enhancing their shopping experience and boosting conversions. Furthermore, Shopify Payments is easy to set up and manage, offering competitive rates without the hassle of integrating an external payment processor.

Shopware does offer some flexibility with payment gateways, but its built-in options are more limited compared to Shopify. Many businesses using Shopware need to rely on third-party plugins for specific payment gateways, which can add to the complexity of the setup process.

6. Mobile Optimization and Responsive Design

In today’s e-commerce landscape, mobile optimization is critical for success. Shopify themes are designed to be fully responsive, meaning your store will look great and function seamlessly on any device, from desktops to smartphones. Shopify’s mobile-friendly checkout process ensures that customers can easily complete purchases from their phones, which is vital given the increasing trend of mobile shopping.

Shopify also provides a mobile app, enabling you to manage and run your store seamlessly from anywhere.. You can track orders, update products, and even run marketing campaigns directly from your smartphone.

While Shopware also offers responsive design capabilities, Shopify’s built-in mobile optimization is more seamless. Additionally, Shopify’s ecosystem includes several mobile-specific tools and apps that enhance the mobile shopping experience, such as push notifications, mobile-optimized pop-ups, and SMS marketing integrations.

7. Better Support and Community

Shopify’s customer support is widely regarded as one of the best in the industry. Shopify offers 24/7 support via phone, email, and live chat, ensuring that you can always get help when you need it. Additionally, Shopify has a vast online community, with forums, blogs, and documentation available to assist users at all levels.

Shopify’s support extends to its partner network, which includes experts, developers, and agencies that specialize in helping businesses build and grow their Shopify stores. If you need custom development or advanced integrations, Shopify’s partner ecosystem offers plenty of options.

While Shopware does provide support, particularly for its enterprise customers, Shopify’s global support network and extensive community resources give it a significant advantage.

8. Security and Compliance

Shopify takes care of all security aspects, ensuring that your store is PCI DSS compliant and offers SSL encryption out of the box. With built-in fraud analysis tools, Shopify provides an extra layer of protection for your business and customers. Shopify’s commitment to security gives store owners peace of mind, knowing their e-commerce operations are secure.

Shopware also offers robust security features, but as a more customizable and flexible platform, it may require more manual effort to manage security protocols and compliance, especially when using third-party plugins.

Shopware vs. Shopify: Feature Comparison for Online Store Owners

Choosing the right e-commerce platform is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as an online store owner. Both Shopware and Shopify offer unique advantages, but each serves different types of businesses with distinct needs. In this feature comparison, we’ll explore the strengths and limitations of both platforms to help you make an informed decision.

1. Ease of Use

Shopify is widely praised for its user-friendly interface. It’s designed for entrepreneurs who want to get up and running quickly without a steep learning curve. With drag-and-drop functionality, easy navigation, and minimal setup requirements, Shopify is ideal for users who are not technically inclined.

On the other hand, Shopware offers greater customization options but requires more time and effort to master due to its steeper learning curve.It's an open-source platform, which means it's more flexible in terms of features but requires technical knowledge to make the most of it. While Shopware is powerful, non-developers may face challenges setting up and managing their store.

Verdict: Shopify is the better option for store owners seeking ease of use, while Shopware is more suitable for those with development resources or a need for deep customization.

2. Customization and Flexibility

When it comes to customization, Shopware excels. As an open-source platform, Shopware gives you full control over every detail of your store, from its design to its functionality. If you have unique business needs or want custom features, Shopware allows for almost unlimited customization. However, this level of flexibility requires development skills, making it better suited for larger businesses with dedicated tech teams.

Shopify is not as flexible as Shopware in terms of deep customization, but it does offer a wide variety of themes and apps that allow for easy store design and functionality enhancements. Shopify also offers a coding language, Liquid, for deeper customization, but it is still less powerful than Shopware for businesses that need fully bespoke solutions.

Verdict: Shopware is ideal for highly customized stores, while Shopify provides sufficient flexibility for most businesses without the need for extensive coding.

3. Payment Gateways

Both platforms support a wide variety of payment gateways, but the process of integration differs.

Shopware allows for almost any payment gateway integration, offering flexibility for businesses in diverse regions. However, many integrations require technical expertise, which can be time-consuming and costly for those without developer resources.

Shopify, on the other hand, comes with Shopify Payments, a built-in payment gateway that eliminates additional transaction fees. Shopify also supports a wide range of third-party gateways, though using them incurs extra fees.

Verdict: If you want a seamless payment solution without additional fees, Shopify is the better option. For more complex or specific payment needs, Shopware is more flexible.

4. App Ecosystem and Extensions

Shopify boasts a massive app ecosystem, with over 6,000 apps that extend the functionality of your store. Whether you need marketing tools, inventory management, or integrations with third-party systems, Shopify has a solution that can be installed with just a few clicks.

Shopware offers fewer plugins, and many of them require technical knowledge to install and configure. While the available plugins are powerful, they may not be as user-friendly as those found on Shopify.

Verdict: Shopify offers a more extensive and user-friendly app ecosystem, making it easier for business owners to add features without relying on developers.

5. SEO Capabilities

Both Shopware and Shopify provide robust SEO tools to help your store rank higher on search engines.

Shopware provides more granular control over SEO elements, allowing businesses to edit URLs, meta descriptions, and other SEO-critical features with more customization options. This is ideal for businesses that need precise control over their SEO strategies.

Shopify offers a solid range of SEO features, including easy-to-use options for editing meta tags, images, and URLs. However, while its SEO tools are effective, they are not as advanced as those of Shopware.

Verdict: Shopware offers more advanced SEO tools, while Shopify provides all the essential features needed for most businesses to succeed with SEO.

6. Support and Resources

Shopify offers exceptional customer support, with 24/7 availability through phone, chat, and email. The platform also has an extensive knowledge base, forums, and a range of online tutorials to assist store owners.

Shopware does not have the same level of customer support. While it offers a knowledge base and community-driven forums, support is generally more limited, and technical assistance often requires hiring third-party agencies or developers.

Verdict: Shopify wins in this category, offering round-the-clock support, resources, and a large community of experts to help you with your store.

7. Pricing

Shopware offers a free open-source version, making it an attractive option for businesses on a tight budget. However, the costs can rise significantly if you need custom features or enterprise-level support. The pricing model can be complex, especially for businesses that need premium plugins or third-party services.

Shopify operates on a subscription-based pricing model, starting at $39/month for the Basic plan. Shopify also charges additional transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments. Although the upfront cost may seem higher, Shopify’s pricing includes hosting, security, and a wide range of built-in features, making it a more comprehensive package.

Verdict: Shopware is a lower-cost option for those with the technical expertise to manage the store, while Shopify is more expensive but includes everything you need for an all-in-one e-commerce solution.
