What are Shopware’s USPs?
Shopware has evolved over twenty years of powering hundreds of thousands of websites. By listening to their clients and community, they’ve managed to build some of the most relevant and powerful ecommerce features around.
Here are just some of the USPs that we love about Shopware:
- The Rule Builder allows anyone to create flexible rules for customise prices, shipping costs and content delivery using a simple but incredibly powerful interface.
- We know that not everyone buys through your ecommerce pages so the Shopware “Shopping Experiences” allow ecommerce managers to centrally manage landing pages, product pages and category layouts within the Shopware CMS.
- Larger and growing online retailers have the ability to scale internationally with the Sales Channels concept which includes multi-store / multi-language and multi-currency capabilities. This allows for massive potential with minimal fuss.
- An unrivalled customer experience with Shopware PWA which has been designed for seamless integration with other systems and tools and unrestricted creativity on the front-end.
- There are different Shopware editions to suit your ecommerce needs, you can discover more about them here.
