## Notes

Shopware is an e-commerce platform built on Symfony, with a Twig storefront, a Vue.js administration panel, and a Store API and Admin API for headless frontends. One installation can run several sales channels, each with its own domains, languages, currencies and snippet sets. Search, cache and message transports can run on OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, Redis, Valkey or RabbitMQ. Scheduled tasks need a worker or cron that runs the scheduled task command. shopware AG maintains the platform and offers paid editions that add features on top of the Community Edition. The Shopware Frontends toolkit provides the official Vue and Nuxt based headless storefront.

## Worth knowing

The Community Edition software stays usable at any revenue, but its Fair Usage Policy requires a paid plan for Shopware Account and Store access once gross merchandise value passes a set threshold.
