Shopware 6.7 improves website accessibility to meet new European regulations. This means your webshop will be easier to use for people with disabilities, like better screen reader support and improved navigation. These changes are required by law from June 28, 2025, so it’s important to update.
Shopware is replacing an old system (Webpack) with a new, faster one (Vite). This helps your webshop load quicker and run more efficiently. If you use plugins or custom admin features, they may need adjustments to work properly with this update. Admin-related plugins will require separate versions for Shopware 6.6 and 6.7.
The technology behind Shopware’s admin interface is getting a major upgrade with the full transition to Vue 3, bringing better performance, a more modern look, and a smoother management experience. Additionally, Vuex is being replaced by Pinia for state management, making the system more efficient. Developers will need to adjust themes, plugins, and extensions to ensure compatibility with these changes.
Shopware is improving how it stores temporary data, making pages load faster while using less server space. This means your customers will have a smoother shopping experience with faster product searches and page transitions. This is done by a delayed cache invalidation that reduces unnecessary refreshes. Moreover, the Store API caching layer has been removed, focusing on frequently accessed data instead.
Shopware 6.7 is upgrading its core systems to enhance security, stability, and long-term compatibility. This includes updates to PHPUnit v11 for better testing, improvements to League OAuth2 Server and DomPDF, and the transition to Doctrine DBAL 4.0. These upgrades ensure your webshop runs smoothly, securely, and remains future-proof.
