Shopware

Shopware builds an open-source, API-first ecommerce platform for mid-market and enterprise merchants. The software is written on Symfony and Vue.js and is designed to give developers and merchants flexibility without vendor lock-in. The company describes its platform as Germany's leading ecommerce platform and serves customers worldwide.

The company is headquartered in Schöppingen, Germany, with a team working across Europe and remote-first options. It was founded by the Hamann brothers and has grown from a small startup into a platform company operating in the ecommerce, retail and digital commerce sectors.

Shopware's technical work spans ecommerce platform development, open-source software and API-first architecture. Engineers and product teams collaborate closely, shipping and iterating continuously on the basis of merchant feedback. The company maintains flat hierarchies and direct communication, and cultivates an ecosystem of merchants, developers and partners around its community-driven, open-source codebase.
