The best Shopware plugins for your online store

In this article

Shopware is a leading e-commerce platform, and its plugins let you extend your store's functionality with ease. There are well over a hundred to choose from, so to help you cut through the noise, we've curated the most useful Shopware plugins, grouped by category, to help your business take off.

Shipping and fulfillment plugins

Sendcloud for Shopware

Individual carrier plugins exist for Shopware (a DHL plugin, a DPD plugin, a UPS plugin, and so on), but wouldn't it be handier if a single shipping plugin covered your entire process across carriers? That's where sendcloud.proes in: an all-in-one shipping solution that connects your Shopware store to 25+ carriers, prints labels in a click, automates with shipping rules, and adds branded tracking and returns, all from one plugin.

Carrier plugins (DHL, DPD, UPS, and more)

The official carrier plugins let you create shipping labels directly in the Shopware backend and pull tracking codes back into your admin. The DHL plugin connects your store to DHL for two-click labels; the DPD and UPS adapters do the same for their networks and integrate with each carrier's cloud services for seamless tracking. They're a good fit if you ship mainly with one carrier.

Click & Collect

This plugin lets customers pick up their order in-store, choosing a preferred date and time. It's a free delivery option for customers and can drive extra sales when they visit your local shop.

Same-day delivery

Offer same-day delivery, with the cart instantly showing whether it's available, plus backend options to set time limits, shipping costs, and the maximum quantity eligible.

Payment plugins

  • Klarna: adds "pay now", "pay later", and "pay in instalments" options, so you're paid up front while customers choose when to pay.

  • PayPal: one of the most popular payment methods, with the Express button, invoice, and instalments, covering 100+ currencies and 200 markets for international growth.

  • Mollie: integrates a wide range of methods (cards, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA, and more) with a single API key.

  • Amazon Pay: lets Amazon's millions of customers check out with their existing details, supporting multiple currencies and languages.

  • PAYONE: a complete payment solution with the most popular methods, credit management, and transaction reconciliation, managed from the Shopware backend.

Marketing plugins

  • Product reviews & Google stars: collect and display ratings and rich-snippet star reviews to build trust and improve click-through from search.

  • Newsletter integrations: connect your store to popular email-marketing tools to grow and nurture your list.

  • Abandoned cart: automatically email customers who didn't complete checkout, with a custom subject line and wait time, to recover lost sales.

SEO plugins

  • SEO redirects (301/302): manage redirects to preserve rankings when URLs change.

  • Google sitemap generator: keep an up-to-date sitemap so search engines index your store efficiently.

  • Rich-snippet breadcrumbs: add structured breadcrumb data for better search appearance.

  • EAN/MPN on product pages: show product identifiers to improve discoverability and shopping-feed quality.

Conversion plugins

  • Social login: let customers sign in with Facebook, Google, Amazon, or PayPal to reduce friction.

  • One-page checkout: streamline the checkout into a single page to cut abandonment.

  • Wishlists: let customers save products for later and come back to buy.

  • Advanced filter search: add a search field to option filters so shoppers find products faster.

Analytics and tracking plugins

  • Google Tag Manager & enhanced e-commerce tracking: capture detailed shopping behavior to optimize your funnel.

  • Google Analytics: connect analytics (with IP anonymization) for insight into traffic and sales.

Marketplace plugins

  • eBay Connector: manage your eBay listings and orders alongside your store.

  • Google Shopping export: generate a professional product feed for Google Shopping.

  • Multichannel connectors: sync products and orders across Amazon, eBay, and other channels from one place.

B2B plugins

  • Price on request: let customers request an individual price for their cart, managed in the backend.

  • Net/gross price switcher: let B2B customers toggle between net and gross prices.

  • Order matrix for variants: add all variants of a product to the cart at once via a matrix, ideal for wholesale.

  • Login with customer number: let B2B customers sign in with a customer number instead of an email.

Migration and compliance plugins

  • Migration Assistant: migrate products, customers, and orders from another platform (such as Magento) into Shopware.

  • GDPR & cookie consent: add a compliant cookie banner with automatic cookie detection.

  • Language packs: add storefront translations to sell internationally.

How to choose the right Shopware plugins

With so many options, focus on the plugins that solve a real bottleneck in your store, whether that's shipping, payments, conversion, or going international, and check reviews and compatibility with your Shopware version before installing. On the shipping side, Sendcloud is the standout: instead of juggling a separate plugin per carrier, you connect once and ship flexibly across 25+ carriers, with automated labels, branded tracking, and a returns portal.
