COLOGNE, Germany, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leading global research firm Forrester has named open-source ecommerce platform Shopware as a Strong Performer in its recurring report. The Forrester Wave™: Commerce Solutions, Q3 2026 report determined that Shopware “has a strong roadmap, as it consistently establishes — and delivers on — clear timing for enhancements.” The report also notes that, “Shopware is a best fit for B2B organizations seeking strong core commerce functionality.”
Forrester’s evaluation noted that customers “consistently appreciate the attention and support they receive from Shopware’s team” and concluded that Shopware is “a best fit for B2B organizations seeking strong core commerce functionality.” The report noted that “Shopware received a strong vote of confidence from PayPal in late 2025 when the payment provider raised its stake in Shopware from 11% to over 40%.”
The 2026 evaluation follows continued growth by the company across Europe and North America, thanks to investments in Shopware Copilot which is powered by AI, as well as Shopware Payments and emerging agentic commerce capabilities. These developments are designed to help merchants automate complex workflows, operate more efficiently and create faster, more intuitive buying experiences.
“Forrester has acknowledged Shopware, and to us, this acknowledgment is proof of our continued commitment to solving complex B2B commerce challenges for the global business community,” said Jason Nyhus, president of Shopware. “Our focus remains on giving customers the flexibility, transparency and support they need and deserve today, while investing in the technologies that will shape how they operate tomorrow.”
