Shopware Plugin Development

A lot of Shopware features are only available as subscription plugins – month after month, year after year. Instead, we build that feature for you as your own plugin: paid once, yours forever, with no recurring license fees.

Sound familiar?

  • You pay for several off-the-shelf plugins every month – and the cost adds up year after year.
  • A subscription plugin does almost everything you need – just not the one thing that matters to you.
  • You depend on the plugin vendor: if they drop support, you are left high and dry.

Then a conversation is the fastest route to an assessment.

What we do - What we build for you with Shopware Plugins

  • Replacing a subscription plugin

    We rebuild the features of an expensive subscription plugin as your own – paid once, no recurring cost.

  • Adding a missing feature

    Missing just one small thing? We build it as a precise plugin without touching the rest of your store.

  • Interface plugins

    Connections to inventory management, shipping providers, marketplaces or accounting – cleanly packaged as a plugin.

  • Adapting existing plugins

    A plugin you already have almost does the job? We extend or adjust it to match your workflow.

Build once instead of paying forever

Do the math: a subscription plugin at €30 to €100 a month adds up to several thousand euros over five years – and in the end it still is not yours. A custom-built plugin you pay for once. After that it just runs, with no further license fees and nobody you depend on.

We build update-safe, following the official Shopware standards. That way your plugin survives future store updates – and if you need changes later, the code is clean and easy to follow.

  • A one-off cost instead of monthly subscription fees
  • The plugin belongs to you – no vendor lock-in
  • Built update-safe to Shopware standards
  • Tailored exactly to your requirement

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 feature you rarely need that an existing store plugin covers well

    Then the subscription is cheaper. We will do that maths with you openly.

    Better fit: More on this

  • A pure design tweak to your theme

    That is theme work and needs no plugin of its own.

    Better fit: Shopware & E-Commerce

  • A change directly in the Shopware core

    We do not do that. It is lost with the next update, and it takes your ability to update with it.

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.

What the price depends on

We bill a custom plugin transparently by the hour. Compared to a subscription plugin it often pays for itself within one to two years – after that you are saving real money on license fees.

From practice - Situation, solution, outcome

Situation, solution, result – that is how we work. The projects are described anonymously for confidentiality.

Shop owner with three subscription plugins

Ausgangslage
Around €180 in plugin subscriptions went out month after month – and only a fraction of each plugin’s features was ever used.
Lösung
We bundled the features they actually used into a single update-safe plugin – built once, owned by the client.
Ergebnis
The one-off price came in below what the replaced subscriptions would have cost in a little over a year – since then the recurring fees are gone and the shop depends on no vendor.

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 Plugins

What does developing a Shopware plugin cost?
A compact plugin with one clearly defined feature starts at from €990. More complex plugins with their own admin interface or external connections start at around €2,900. You get an honest, free estimate up front.
Is a custom plugin worth it compared to a subscription plugin?
In many cases, yes. Add up the monthly fee over several years – a plugin built once is often cheaper and belongs to you afterwards. Where it does not pay off, we will tell you straight.
Will the plugin keep working after Shopware updates?
We build to the official Shopware standards so your plugin stays update-safe. For major version jumps we review and update it on request.
Do you build plugins for stores outside Germany?
Yes. Plugin development is remote work – we build for Shopware stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and beyond. Multilingual plugin texts can be included right away.
