Shopware

Last modified: 28 July 2023

Shopware is a powerful and flexible application that can be used for building eCommerce experiences. It is based on a number of Symfony framework components, supported in PhpStorm through the core features and the Symfony Plugin. The Shopware plugin adds additional support for developing Shopware eCommerce with PhpStorm. The source code for the Shopware plugin, as well as its issue tracker, can be found on GitHub.
