We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to succeed in ecommerce. That’s why we invest heavily in our open-source core, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can build, scale, and innovate on a powerful, flexible foundation. Every time a new user chooses our free Community Edition, it strengthens the ecosystem and reinforces the power of collaboration. The Fair Usage Policy helps keep this ecosystem balanced, ensuring that merchants, developers, and partners can grow together in a sustainable way.
The Fair Usage Policy applies to businesses using the Shopware Account and Shopware Store alongside the Community Edition.
The Community Edition remains fully open-source under the permissive MIT license.
For businesses using the Community Edition with an annual GMV exceeding €1M, generated through their Shopware online store, a Shopware plan is required to maintain access to the Shopware Account and Shopware Store.
