Frequently asked questions
Shopware SaaS, PaaS, or self-hosted? What is the right solution for my business?
Shopware SaaS (software as a service) and Shopware PaaS (platform as a service) are both ecommerce solutions in the cloud. This means you’re free to focus on your core business while we take care of the hosting. With Shopware Cloud you get everything you need to build your online store with maximum efficiency and start growing from day one. In many respects, Shopware SaaS and Shopware PaaS share the same advantages, but there are also salient differences:
Shopware SaaS
Automatic software updates
Carefree hosting and infrastructure maintenance
Full control over your resources
Scaling mechanism and full expandability
Shopware PaaS
All benefits from Shopware SaaS, as well as:
Maximum customizability
Performance monitoring
Dev tools to test and create efficient processes
Self-hosted is the right solution for your business if you have an expert developer team by your side and you need full control over your chosen IT infrastructure.
Hosted on your own server or your chosen hosting provider
Extensive customization options
Custom programming possible
Local storage of data
And the costs? Shopware SaaS comes at the same price as self-hosted, thus providing you more value for money. As Shopware PaaS is tailored to your specific needs, we offer you individualized pricing for it. Please contact us for further information.
I'm currently using a different ecommerce solution. How can I migrate?
Easy - we'll bring you over! Our support team as well as our specialized partner agencies will help you migrate your business smoothly and ensure you keep all your important assets such as customer data, order history, products, etc. Find further information here.

Does Shopware offer a free ecommerce solution?
Yes, the Community Edition is the open source, MIT-licensed core of Shopware that can be downloaded and used for free.
What is the difference between our paid plans and the free Community Edition?
All our paid plans are expanding upon the Community Edition, adding cutting-edge features that’ll make your business stand out from the competition and speed up your success. Also, with our paid plans you get support directly from Shopware, accelerating the implementation of your ecommerce project.
The Community Edition of Shopware is supported through voluntary work by people from our pioneering community. It is not available in the Shopware Cloud – setup and maintenance are your responsibility.
Our Community Edition is the heart of Shopware. It is the foundation of your success, while our paid plans are the accelerators that will take your business above and beyond.

How is the price of the Shopware plans calculated?
