Shopware und Magento sind führende E-Commerce-Plattformen im Mittelstand. Shopware überzeugt durch Übersichtlichkeit und gute Wartbarkeit; Magento skaliert bei sehr großen Katalogen und komplexen B2B-Anforderungen. Wir unterstützen bei Auswahl, Einführung und Erweiterung.

Shopware: Stärken für den deutschen Mittelstand

Shopware ist in Deutschland stark verbreitet und bietet eine übersichtliche Oberfläche, sinnvolle Standardfunktionen für B2B und B2C sowie eine aktive Community. Die Wartung und das Hosting sind vergleichsweise schlank; Erweiterungen über Plugins und individuellen Code sind gut dokumentiert. Ideal für mittlere Sortimente, mehrsprachige Shops und Projekte, bei denen Sie langfristig wartbar bleiben wollen.

Magento (Adobe Commerce): Skalierung und Komplexität

Magento (heute Adobe Commerce) eignet sich für sehr große Kataloge, komplexe Preislogik, B2B-Portale mit Konfiguratoren und internationale Multi-Store-Setups. Die Implementierung und das Hosting sind aufwendiger; dafür erhalten Sie maximale Flexibilität bei Promotions, Kundengruppen und Integration in ERP oder PIM. Die Entscheidung zwischen Shopware und Magento sollte anhand von Kataloggröße, Internationalisierung, Budget und Wartungsressourcen getroffen werden.
