Shopware Agency

An online store is more than a shopping cart. With Shopware we build stores that suit your products, connect to your processes, and do not buckle when business picks up.

Shopware 6, migration from 5ERP and inventory integrationCustom plugins instead of subscriptionsFree, no-strings intro callGet in touch

Sound familiar?

  • Your current store runs on a website builder that has hit its limits.
  • You need custom features that an off-the-shelf store simply does not offer.
  • Inventory, shipping and accounting should work together automatically instead of being maintained twice.

Then a conversation is the fastest route to an assessment.

What we do - What we build for you with Shopware & E-Commerce

  • Store setup and relaunch

    A new Shopware 6 store or a migration of your existing one – set up cleanly and built for conversion.

  • Custom plugins

    The features your business needs and nobody sells off the shelf – built as a tailor-made Shopware plugin.

  • Interfaces and ERP

    Connections to inventory management, payment providers, shipping and accounting for a smooth workflow.

  • Performance and upkeep

    Fast load times, updates and ongoing support, so your store keeps running reliably.

Why Shopware

Shopware is made in Germany, open source and extremely flexible. Unlike closed website builders, it lets us implement genuinely any requirement – from a custom checkout flow to deep ERP integration.

You keep full control over your data and are not tied to a single vendor. That is what makes Shopware the right choice when your store needs to do more than “products in, orders out”.

The biggest lever in the budget is rarely the design – it is the connection to your inventory system. As long as stock and prices are maintained twice, the store eats working time every day and produces errors, because two versions of the truth never stay identical for long. How involved the integration gets depends on the other system: with a documented API it stays manageable; with CSV exchange over an FTP server the effort sits in the failure cases, not the technology.

For extra features, it is almost always worth looking at the annual bill rather than the monthly price. Three or four plugin subscriptions at €20 to €50 a month add up, and they tie you to other vendors' update cycles. Your own plugin from €990 costs more once, belongs to you and does exactly what you need. We work out which route is cheaper beforehand – sometimes the subscription wins, and then we say so.

A store is also not a project with an end date. Shopware ships security updates regularly, and a store holds customer data and payment flows. After major updates, plugins occasionally need bringing along – postpone that and you pay for it later in one lump, usually at the worst possible moment. That is why ongoing support is not a hidden add-on here but part of the conversation before the quote.

  • Open source and fully customizable
  • Custom plugins for your specific requirements
  • Interfaces to ERP, payment and shipping
  • Scales from a start-up to a large catalog

Honestly

When we advise against it

Not every enquiry belongs with us. These are the ones we turn down in the intro call – here they are upfront, so you can skip the call.

  • A handful of products, sold occasionally

    A website with a simple ordering flow is cheaper to build and cheaper to run.

    Better fit: Web Development
  • A B2B ordering portal without classic shop features

    Then a custom application is the more direct route – without a shop system around it.

    Better fit: Custom Software
  • No budget for ongoing care

    A store holds customer data and payment flows. Without updates that is a risk – better to start later.

What fits you - Three shapes – and what each one is good for

Pick the shape that matches your situation – the price is right there, so you never have to ask for it. It is a ballpark figure; your binding quote comes after a short conversation. If you would rather work it out yourself, use the package configurator: put together what you need there and see your price range right away.

Specialist retailer from eastern Bavaria

Ausgangslage
Their old website-builder shop had hit its limits: several thousand products had to be maintained twice – once in the inventory system, once in the shop.
Lösung
A new Shopware 6 shop with a custom theme and an interface to the existing inventory system. Products, stock levels and prices now flow across automatically.
Ergebnis
Products are maintained in one place only, and orders run through without double entry.

Manufacturer with B2B customers

Ausgangslage
Orders came in by phone and email and were typed up by hand in the office – error-prone and expensive.
Lösung
A Shopware 6 shop with customer-specific prices, volume discounts and an approval workflow for company accounts.
Ergebnis
B2B customers now order themselves around the clock, and the office team spends its time advising instead of typing.

Who builds this?

You work directly with Marcel

At Viovenia your project is not passed between rotating teams – it is built directly by Marcel, senior software engineer. You talk to the person who writes your code, from the first call to running in production. No project-manager loop, no ticket ping-pong.

How we work - Five steps to your project

Transparent and free of stress – that is how working with us goes. More about our process.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    Half an hour where you describe the project and get concrete questions back. It ends with a first read on feasibility and rough size – including when that read is “not worth it”.

  2. 02

    Concept & quote

    In writing, with scope, the technology involved, the assumptions behind it and what is explicitly not included. Split into “needed at launch” and “can come later”, so the scope stays negotiable.

  3. 03

    Development in stages

    After each stage there is something usable on a test environment, not just a status report. Change requests go in where they are cheapest: before the next stage starts.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Before going live: a run through the core workflows, a backup concept, monitoring switched on. Afterwards you get access, source code and documentation handed over in full, not on request.

  5. 05

    Operation

    Updates, monitoring and further development – as fixed care or on call. No minimum term: what keeps you should be the work, not the contract.

Frequently asked - Questions about Shopware & E-Commerce

What does a Shopware store cost?
A solid start with Shopware 6 is from €5,900. Stores with a custom theme, custom features and interfaces start at around €11,900. After a first conversation you get an honest estimate instead of a number you would like to hear.
What does migrating from Shopware 5 to 6 cost?
Migrations start at from €3,900 – depending on theme, plugins and how much data there is. Products, customers, orders and your Google rankings all come along cleanly.
Can you migrate my old store to Shopware?
Yes. We move products, customers and orders over from your current system and make sure no rankings and no data get lost along the way.
Do you support our store after launch?
Yes. Updates, security patches, small adjustments and fast help come as ongoing support from €199/month – cancellable monthly, with a dedicated contact person.
How long until my store is live?
A starter store realistically takes three to five weeks, a built-out store six to ten weeks, a store with ERP integration eight to fourteen weeks. For a migration, the duration depends heavily on how cleanly the data sits in the old system. These timelines start once product data and access credentials are available – that holds things up more often than development does.
What costs come on top of development?
Four items that do not go to us and still belong in the plan: the Shopware license (the Community Edition is open source and free – the right choice for the vast majority of stores), hosting, your payment provider's per-transaction fees, and product photography and copy. That last one is regularly underestimated and is substantial for large catalogs.
What happens if Marcel is unavailable?
An honest answer for a small team: we do not offer round-the-clock on-call. What we do offer is preparation. Your store runs on your hosting and your license, access credentials and specifics are documented, and we build on Shopware standards rather than constructions only we understand. That means another provider could take over in an emergency. For plannable absences we tell you in advance rather than leaving you guessing.
Do you support stores in Austria and Switzerland?
Yes. Shopware projects run remotely anyway – we support stores across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, including country-specific topics such as currencies, tax rates and shipping zones.
Do you also build individual Shopware plugins?
Of course. If you are only missing one specific feature, we build a plugin for it – no need to rebuild the whole store.
