Our employees are very familiar with this shop system and are always open to e-commerce strategy consulting. We work with all editions and versions, and there are a number of factors to consider when choosing the right Shopware licence.

Standard template or customised design?

The design not only influences the costs, but also the success of the online shop. A high-turnover online shop that is easy to use is more popular than one with a customised design. To best realise your business model and attract more attention from customers, our Shopware agency in Stuttgart provides the following design versions.

Version 1

Our qualified team adapts the standard design that comes with Shopware to your CI colours and logo in an efficient and cost-optimised manner. This takes place during development so that no approval processes are involved.

Version 2

We work on the basis of Shopware standard designs. You and our design team are involved in the customisation. The appearance of the finished shop is assessed and approved with the help of a graphic design.

Version 3

Our designers create the unique design for your online shop, taking into account the flawless usability and the previously defined communication goals. If you like the design, our Shopware developers will technically implement it in your shop system.Shopware costs for each of these versions are different. Version 1 is the cheapest, because the customised design is complicated and requires more time. The standard design can only be supplemented with something customised in one sector - this can be product configurators or content pages with the company presentation, for example.

Shopware costs for customised extensions

There are many paid and free Shopware extensions. They are integrated into the web shop to implement the sales-promoting measures. This makes it possible to customise the project to the preferences of the target group. The software with the paid extensions costs from €10 up to €300. If you want to use them, you need to configure them. That's why you should pay the licence fees and additional costs for configuration. Our Full-Service E-Commerce Agency will advise you on the selection of a suitable extension and help you with the implementation, and the cost of Shopware 6 depends on the required functions of the online shop. They can vary according to the customer's wishes and needs. Various extensions are required in order to optimally fulfil customer requirements. If you install the Shopware 6 advanced pricing & cross-selling plugin, you can optimise the product listing view. The product configurator is being used more and more frequently in online shops. The introduction of this tool plays a major role because it opens up a high-revenue market niche. Our Agency for Webshop can help you by taking over the conception, design and technical realisation. They must be customised when changes are made to the online shop. Our specialised team develops individual interfaces for the execution of special processes and is your reliable partner for the creation, updating and maintenance of online shops.

Fixed prices or hourly rates?

What does a Shopware shop cost? This question cannot be answered unequivocally. The implementation and maintenance of an online shop cannot be done without the help of a specialist. Then you come across new Shopware shop costs. The prices can either be fixed or calculated per hour. We briefly explain all the pros and cons of both forms of pricing.

Advantages of the hourly rates

The hourly rate model makes sense for companies if their projects are not large or involve regular repeat work (maintenance). If the company does not understand the complexity of the project and how much time is required, the hourly rate model is preferred. This makes Shopware 5 prices transparent, as the company can control the hours worked and the expenses, but there is a disadvantage, as the final price is not clearly understood. If there are problems or the project duration needs to be extended, additional costs are incurred. Some service providers work too slowly to increase the price. You should also bear this in mind.

Advantages of fixed prices

The fixed price model is more suitable for creating new online shops and updating them. The entire price for the project is agreed in advance. This way, the company immediately understands what expenses to expect. If it has a limited budget, this model is advantageous. The final Shopware costs are clear and certain for the company. In this respect, this e-commerce platform is a better solution. You can also compare Shopware vs Shopify to examine all the advantages of the shop system in relation to other providers, but there is one major disadvantage of fixed prices that should be taken into account. Sometimes a project is more difficult than it seemed before. Then the service provider reduces the effort in order to increase their own profits. This can lead to the project being shortened. This point should be discussed in advance so that the complete Shopware 5 costs are clear. Detailed preliminary discussions are essential for efficient collaboration. It is important to determine exactly which services are required for the project. A comprehensive offer is then formulated that delivers the best result.
