Key benefits, risks, and how to prepare for Shopware 6.7

Each year, Shopware releases a major update that brings improvements, new features, and changes to its e-commerce platform. The upcoming Shopware 6.7 update, set for release mid June 2025, is one of the most impactful yet. This version introduces crucial upgrades in performance, accessibility, and technical infrastructure.

In this blog, we will walk you through why upgrading to Shopware 6.7 is important, what key changes you should expect, and how you can prepare your webshop for a smooth migration together with Memo. 

Key benefits

1. Better accessibility (EAA Compliance)

With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) becoming enforceable in June 2025, Shopware 6.7 helps you stay ahead by implementing built-in accessibility improvements. These changes make your webshop more user-friendly for people with disabilities and reduce the manual work needed to stay compliant.

Note: These improvements will also be available for Shopware 6.6 users, but need to be manually activated.

2. Performance & caching enhancements

The new caching system in Shopware 6.7 means faster load times and a better user experience. Improvements include smarter cache invalidation and reduced server strain, helping your webshop run more efficiently.

3. Admin & developer upgrades (Vue 3, Vite)

Shopware 6.7 upgrades the core technologies in the admin panel:

• Migration from Webpack to Vite: faster builds and a better dev experience
• Full transition to Vue 3: improved performance and usability
• Replacement of Vuex with Pinia: modern state management

These updates mean cleaner code, faster performance, and a more modern foundation—but also require plugin and theme adjustments.

4. Database & security improvements

The update includes major library upgrades such as:

• Doctrine DBAL 4.0: better database compatibility
• PHPUnit v11: more powerful testing tools
• Enhanced security through updates to OAuth2 Server and DomPDF

These changes ensure that your webshop remains secure and future-proof.
