Shopware 6 versus Shopware 5

It is worth noting that Shopware 6 is not the same as Shopware 5. Shopware 6 is a new platform built from scratch, with a philosophy of modern architecture. Shopware 6 follows the first API approach which enables you to build a unique trading platform in a separate architecture. All functions of Shopware 6 can be controlled by the API, allowing traders to use the platform as a hub for all retail operations. This is especially true when the platform has more than one sales channel, such as Amazon, social media, or POS. Access also paves the way for Shopware 6 integrations with voice assistants, coated devices, and mobile applications.
