ShopForge Features

The complete platform for building, deploying, and running Shopware stores.

ShopForge delivers the full software development lifecycle for Shopware 6 — from instant environments and cloud development tools to CI/CD pipelines, multi-environment deployments, and enterprise-grade production hosting.

Full SDLC — Dev to Production

From first commit to production. One platform.

ShopForge provides the complete software development lifecycle for Shopware 6. Every project gets multi-environment pipelines, built-in CI/CD, automated testing, and Git-based deployment workflows — so your team can focus on building great stores instead of wiring together infrastructure.

Multi-Environment Pipelines

  • Development — Isolated dev environments for each developer or feature branch
  • Staging — Pre-production environments that mirror production for QA and client review
  • Production — Enterprise-grade hosting with auto-scaling, monitoring, and high availability
  • Promotion workflows — Promote changes from dev → staging → production with confidence

CI/CD & Automated Testing

  •  Automated build and deploy pipelines triggered by Git pushes
  • Run PHPUnit, PHPStan, and custom test suites on every commit
  • Automated code quality checks and linting
  • Zero-downtime deployments to production
  • Rollback to any previous deployment instantly

Git Workflows & PR Previews

  • Branch-per-feature development with automatic environment provisioning
  • Pull request preview environments — every PR gets its own live Shopware instance
  • Code review with live, testable previews before merging
  • Full Git integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket

Monitoring & Observability

  • Real-time performance dashboards for every environment
  • Application and infrastructure logging with search and filtering
  •  Alerting on errors, performance degradation, and resource thresholds
  • Resource usage tracking and cost visibility across environments

Ephemeral Shopware Stores

Try Shopware in seconds — no commitment required.
Ephemeral stores are fully functional Shopware 6 sites cloned from the template library. You get full admin access for up to 6 hours — perfect for demos, testing plugins, evaluating Shopware, or running training sessions. No credit card required.

How It Works

  • Choose a template (clean install, demo store, headless setup, or B2B configuration)
  • Your store launches in under 10 seconds with a unique URL
  • You get full Shopware admin access — install plugins, configure settings, add products
  • After 6 hours, the store pauses. If left paused, it's automatically cleaned up
  • Need more time? Extend your session or upgrade to persistent hosting

Use Cases

  • Agency demos: Show clients what their Shopware store will look like
  • Plugin testing: Test your extensions in a clean Shopware environment
  • Training: Give every workshop participant their own store
  • Evaluation:Try Shopware 6 before committing to a platform
