New technology innovation

Shopware
Your eCommerce platform

Shopware software works for every business model, B2B, and B2C alike. Harness the platform’s advanced sales functions and watch your store grow as a force.

Shopware offers a state-of-the-art, highly flexible e-commerce solution which is trusted by the world’s best-known brands. The software makes the rapid deployment of innovations possible, accelerating the development of a store operating in the sphere of digital commerce. You decide how far you want to go… and we provide you with full support.

As a Shopware business partner, we present our list of the platform’s strengths, which represent immense value to the daily running of an e commerce business and to its development.

Multichannel sales

Omnichannel sales is a pivotal trend for ecommerce. Thanks to Shopware, you will acquire a tool that will enable you to manage various sales channels from one panel. The options built into the panel include Facebook Marketplace, Instagram Marketplace, Voice Commerce and Google Shopping.

The Sales Channels function allows you to control the sale of your services or products in numerous places. Also of the essence is the fact that individual channels can feature a different range of products or services and operate in different currencies and languages.

Plug-in manager and open source

The plug-in manager is a real command center when it comes to managing apps added to your store. Access to a constantly growing base of functional plug-ins means that you gain a simple way to extend your own system.

As we publish this article, the base offers 4,000+ plug-ins! Shopware is an open-source tool, with a community of more than 1,200 programmers continuously expanding the many extensions. New ones arrive more or less every day.

International sales

By default, Shopware stores are set up so that you can internationalise your business. The built-in functions mean that there are far fewer obstacles to overcome in order to launch sales on foreign markets.

The solutions the platform offers include adaptability to legal requirements in specific countries, multiple languages and multiple currencies, as well as the configuration of price policy rules and tax calculations to suit particular markets.

Progressive web application

The platform’s progressive web application (PWA) is one of its main advantages. In practice, it is responsible for creating a front for your eCommerce, which will be state-of-the-art and intuitive at the same time and will even meet expectations for enterprise-level designs.

The PWA was created in collaboration with Vue Storefront, which means a guarantee not only of cutting-edge technological solutions but also of the best practice applied by the Vue.js community.

Integrated SEO function

Having an online store with an integrated SEO function is indispensable to the proper promotion of your business. Shopware is equipped with a host of functions that will enable you to optimise your shop in that respect.

There are extended descriptions, meta tags, canonical tags and breadcrumbs, to name but a few. It is worth remembering that ‘friendly’ links, in other words, properly created URLs, also have an impact on a website’s Google ranking. Shopware 6 contains a mechanism for simplifying their configuration. It is also possible to take care of alternative descriptions and photo captions at the panel level.

API first

In line with the API-first approach, Shopware provides sellers with a technological foundation for seamlessly integrating their store with various channels such as mobile apps, marketplaces and payment gateways.

In addition, you can connect your shop with external systems like ERP, PIM and CRM. You can also view all the operations from a central platform.

The Shopware 6 solution gives us an opportunity to nurture that approach and it’s a superb basis for offering end-to-end solutions within the context of our wide range of services and the needs connected with users’ purchasing experiences.

The most frequent collaboration scenarios

Building a new store on the Shopware 6 platform

If you want to build a new store, we will provide you with comprehensive support from the initial concept to your up-and-running shop. You can forget your concerns about finding competent technology experts and project managers and bringing them on board. We will provide the entire team and make sure that the job is organized efficiently, so much so that your new store could be ready in just three months.

Migrating to Shopware 6 from another platform

If you already have a store, we will help you transfer it to Shopware 6 from its current platform, such as Shoplo, Shoper, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento or Shopware 5, for instance. One important aspect of our support is that we keep SEO to the fore during the migration. This way, we ensure that once your new website is launched, it maintains your previous search engine visibility. We look after the data migration and provide a smooth transfer to your new system, which will be operationally integrated with other systems, like your CRM and ERM, for example.

Maintenance and development of your Shopware project

If you are searching for a company to deal with the maintenance, development and optimisation of your existing Shopware installation, we will be happy to take on that challenge. We begin by studying and reviewing the installation and familiarising ourselves with the current solutions. Then, working together with you, we draw up a list of optimisation tasks. On the basis of that, week by week, we will steadily remove errors, implement corrections and develop your store.

What do we actually do? Details, please!

Audits, user surveys and benchmarking

Before starting work on your project, you may well want to check which areas of your present store need improvement or what new functions will need including in its new incarnation.

How does migrating to Shopware work?
There are several steps:

Familiarisation

This stage involves studying the technological, business and functional expectations and cataloguing the current solutions.

Consolidating our proposal. Benchmarking

At this stage, we provide our proposal for the technical architecture and the organisation of work on the project. We provisionally set the aims, priorities and framework plan, estimating the time needed for the work and the implementation costs, as well as the costs of commercial deployment and subsequent maintenance.

Initiating the project

We sign an agreement and involve the entire project team, in other words, analysts, UX and UI specialists, architects, developers and QA, SEO and content experts. During our kick-off meeting with you, we discuss the roles and responsibilities on MakoLab’s part and yours. Work documentation systems and meeting schedules are set up and we agree the rhythm of work on the project.

Migrating over several stages

We divide the major tasks into stages in order to provide a smooth, dextrous migration of the new, superior version of your store, with its greatly enhanced functionalities. That we will bring it in on time goes without saying! During the migration, the team of developers has the full support of the analysists and the UX and SEO specialists. This ensures that, once the migration is complete, your store will present the look agreed on at the design stage and your website will achieve excellent visibility on Google.

Optimisation, development and maintenance

Once your new store is up and running, we shift into ‘ongoing improvement’ mode. On the basis of the analytic data, we optimise your conversion rate, your users’ experience and purchase paths and watch over the traffic generated by SEO. We provide technical support as per the SLA and develop new functionalities, either by involving the resources of the entire team or in line with a monthly package of developer hours.
