Shopware Plugin Development - Custom Shopware plugins instead of expensive subscriptions

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 let’s talk – that is exactly what we are here for.

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

Packages & pricing - Clear packages, transparent prices

So you have a sense of what to expect. These prices are ballpark figures – your binding quote comes after a short conversation. It gets more precise in the package configurator: put together what you need there and see your price range right away.

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 - Projects, the way we run them

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 plugin had paid for itself in a little over a year – since then the shop saves the subscription costs entirely and no longer depends on any vendor.
