Yes, Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 are supported
Shopware is one of the leading shop systems in Germany. Both Shopware 6 and existing Shopware 5 shops run reliably with us. Shopware requires a current PHP version, a MySQL database, sufficient PHP memory and cron jobs for background tasks - all of which our web hosting provides. You can install and update conveniently via SSH and Composer or with the Shopware installer.
Our plan recommendation for Shopware
An online shop thrives on fast loading times and high availability - they keep customers happy and increase sales. For online shops we therefore recommend Professional, and Premium for growing shops with many products or visitors. These plans offer generous headroom for storage, databases and accounts - room for plugins, images and growth.
- Premium: our clear recommendation for Shopware. From Premium upwards we can provide Redis (or a compatible alternative) for cache, sessions and queues on request and set up further additional services for your shop.
- Professional: for test and staging environments or very small shops
- Managed cloud server: for large shops with an extensive catalogue, a dedicated search solution such as OpenSearch or Elasticsearch and dedicated resources (web hosting or managed cloud server?)
Why Redis for Shopware?
By default, Shopware stores cache entries, sessions and the message queue in the file system or database. With Redis this data is kept in memory: category pages, cart and checkout respond faster, and the database is relieved when many visitors shop at the same time. Get in touch - we set up Redis for your Premium plan and help you configure it in Shopware.
Tips for running Shopware 6 fast
- Process background tasks (message queue, scheduled tasks) via cron job instead of the admin worker in the browser.
- Run the shop with
APP_ENV=prodin production and enable the HTTP cache. - Use a staging environment for updates and create a backup beforehand.
