Shopware Store review and quality
This section is for extension developers (plugins, apps, themes) who plan to distribute through the Shopware Store. It describes what reviewers check during publication and how you can align your implementation and tests with those expectations before you submit.
Store review complements your own automated and manual testing: it verifies that your extension stays within supported integration boundaries, behaves predictably for merchants and end customers, and meets listing, security, and compliance rules. Treat these pages as a checklist-oriented companion to the general testing guidelines.
Quality guidelines
Publication is gated on Shopware’s quality, security, and compliance rules. The guidelines summarize non-negotiable requirements that apply to every Store extension, independent of type or size.
Scope and integration boundaries
Reviewers validate that your extension does not rely on unsupported or fragile patterns (for example, undocumented core internals, unsafe database or filesystem usage, or API misuse). The following pages spell out prohibited behaviors and how functionality should integrate with Shopware core, persistence, and public APIs.
Storefront, SEO, and compliance
Merchants expect stable storefront behavior, sensible performance characteristics, and clear handling of errors. Review also covers SEO-related output, structured data where relevant, and privacy-oriented behavior such as cookies and consent. Use these topics when defining acceptance criteria for themes and Storefront-facing plugins.
Listing, lifecycle, and code quality
Beyond runtime behavior, review covers how you present the extension in the Store (descriptions, media, translations), what happens on install and uninstall (including data cleanup), and maintainability signals in your codebase. The common review errors page is a practical index of recurring feedback you can preempt.
