A modern commerce base, not a SaaS constraint

Shopware is an e-commerce platform born in Germany and designed for open architectures: APIs, extensions, business rules, headless experiences and system integrations. It fits projects where the company wants technical control over its platform.

  • API-first — open and extensible architecture.
  • Business rules & headless — custom journeys and experiences.
  • System integrations — native connection to ERP, PIM and internal tools.
  • Data sovereignty — your data stays yours, hosted wherever you want (EU, on-premise or your own cloud).

From open source to enterprise plans

An open base means keeping control of your platform and sovereignty over your data — not renting them.

A solution ready for agentic commerce and administration

Because Shopware exposes an API-first, extensible and structured base, it naturally supports AI use cases — on the storefront and in the back-office: shopping assistants, business agents, AI-assisted administration, catalogue automation, MCP orchestration and connections with internal tools.

Agentic Commerce Agents can prepare carts, guide product choices, trigger workflows and support commerce teams.
MCP An open architecture makes it easier to expose catalogues, orders, customers and business rules to MCP-compatible tools in a controlled way.
Actionable data APIs, events and extensions provide a clean base to automate merchandising, content, support and operations.

Shopware fits ambitious project constraints

Open and controllable

The project remains hostable, extensible and auditable. IT keeps control over architecture, data and integrations.

Built for Europe

Shopware is well established in the European ecosystem, especially German-speaking and Central-European markets, with an integrator network and B2B/B2C references.

Suited to custom work

The platform lets teams compose journeys, business rules and integrations without starting from an empty framework.

FroggShop is not a Shopware competitor

FroggShop is a Shopware adoption accelerator: a reproducible method and a project layer that make the platform directly usable on French and Western-European projects — ERP/PIM, relay points, catalogue SEO, headless CMS, payment, security, performance and operations. Shopware stays the base; FroggShop accelerates adoption and execution, without an architecture dependent on too many third-party plugins.

A balanced alternative to common approaches

Closed SaaS platforms

Fast, but less free

They fit many use cases, but become more constrained when the project requires strong customisation of systems, business rules or hosting.

Plugin-heavy platforms

Known, but sometimes fragile

The ecosystem is useful, but stacked extensions can create conflicts, slow upgrades and make maintenance more expensive.

Frameworks to assemble

Very flexible, but longer

They offer lots of freedom, but often require rebuilding more commerce, back-office, catalogue and operations blocks.
