The Add-ons tab in the ThemeWare® Hub lists all available extensions for your ThemeWare® theme. Each add-on can be unlocked individually and managed independently of the others.

For a detailed description of each add-on, see the Add-ons overview.

Why add-ons?

We deliberately keep the theme price stable and continuously develop the theme with new features. Functionality that goes clearly beyond the classic theme scope is offered as optional add-ons — that way you can unlock them when you need them, and the choice stays yours without all buyers having to pay for the extended scope.

Unlock an add-on

1. Find the desired add-on in the Add-ons tab.

2. Click "Unlock →" — Shopware's purchase modal opens.

   • Please note: You must have activated the "Shopware Extension Store" and linked your shop to your Shopware account in order to make in-app purchases.

3. Confirm the purchase in the modal.

After a successful purchase the add-on is active immediately.

For details on available add-ons, the purchase model and billing, see the .

The Changelog tab lets you follow the full version history of ThemeWare® — with all highlights, changes and notes per release. Data is loaded directly from the ThemeWare® service portal (via JSON feed) on each visit, so you never miss a release.

Layout

Entries are grouped by major version (e.g. 4.x, 3.x). Each version entry can be expanded and shows:

• Highlights — the most important new features

• Changes — all further adjustments

• Notes — important information about the version

Badges on an entry indicate the type of version (feature, premium request, bugfix, note). Markers like Pro or Cloud show which edition a change applies to.

• Jump to version — use the version buttons (e.g. "4.x") at the top to go straight to the desired major version.

• Expand all / collapse all — shows or hides the details of all entries.

• The latest version is expanded automatically on open.

Your currently installed version is highlighted in the changelog with a blue border and an "Installed" label.

If a newer version is available, a "Update recommended" notice appears at the top showing your installed and the latest version.

News and announcements

The ThemeWare® Hub integrates the benefits and features of the ThemeWare® Service Portal directly into your administration – exactly where you need them.

The Hub bundles all functions into dedicated tabs:

• Dashboard — overview, setup assistant and quick access

• Add-ons — unlock optional features

• Utilities — request the free extras package

• Variants — create theme variants and take over configurations

• Backup — back up and restore your theme configuration

• News — news & announcements

• Changelog — version history & updates

• Support — help, guides & contact

You can access the ThemeWare® Hub via the main navigation bar or the Shopware settings.

Content > ThemeWare® {Your theme}

Settings > Extensoins > ThemeWare® {Your theme} Dashboard

The Support tab bundles every route to help, guides and contact — from self-service to personal support.

Click "Start chat" to open our support chat right inside the Hub and get answers to your questions without any wait.

Cards with the most important self-service resources:

• Knowledge base — tutorials, tips & expert knowledge

The Backup tab gives you an overview of all themes in your ThemeWare® family (base theme + duplicates) – including the sales channel assignment, a direct jump into the configuration and, of course, backing up the theme configuration.

Each theme row shows which sales channel the theme is assigned to (or that it isn't assigned yet). Via "Configure" you jump straight into the Theme-Manager for that specific theme – for duplicates that means precisely the theme that is live on the respective sales channel.

With the practical "Copy" function you back up a theme's configuration with a single click and make manual backups much easier. Expand, copy the JSON, done.

Step by step:

The ThemeWare® Dashboard gives you all important information, setup guides, and quick access links at a glance.

The tile bar takes you straight to the most important areas and resources:

• Knowledge base — guides, tutorials and expert knowledge

• ThemeWare® Utilities — free extras (opens the )

The variants tab shows all 15 ThemeWare® variants. Creating a variant produces a new theme duplicate in the look of the selected variant. Your existing theme of course stays untouched.

Filters & tags

In the Variants tab in the Hub, you can filter the overview by:

• Top sellers — the five best-selling variants

• Popular — popular variants across all styles

• Light — designs with a light, friendly look

• Dark — designs with a darker feel

• Boxed — designs with a boxed layout

• Included — the five variants already bundled

• Add-on — the ten variants you can unlock

1. Optional: pick a filter (e.g. Top sellers, Light, Dark, Boxed) to narrow the list.

2. Click the desired variant card. The "Create variant as duplicate" modal opens.

3. Review the selection (source and target).

The new duplicate then appears in your Theme-Manager.

Take over the look and customizations from another installed ThemeWare® variant (Pro or Cloud) into your current theme. Useful for example when moving from the Cloud app to the Pro variant, or when you want to continue with a different variant as your base.

Prerequisite: at least one second ThemeWare® variant (Pro or Cloud) is installed in the shop. Otherwise a notice is shown instead of the selection field.

Step by step:

1. In the "Take over configuration" section, pick the source from the dropdown. Available are all other ThemeWare® variants (Pro/Cloud) plus their duplicates.

2. The target is automatically your current theme (shown read-only next to the source).

3. Click "Take over configuration".

A new duplicate is created under your current theme as parent. The look and customizations of the source (logo, colors, typography, etc.) are preserved.

For details on the available add-on variants, tags and prices, see the Add-ons overview.

Typical scenarios for both functions:

• Try out a variant — You want to see how another variant (e.g. Plants) would look with your setup, without altering your existing theme.

• Different looks per sales channel — You run multiple sales channels and want to assign each one a different variant.

• Fresh start — You want to start over with the factory defaults of a variant, without your previous customizations.

• Switch between two Pro plugins — You have e.g. ThemeWare® Plants and Modern installed in parallel and want to continue your Plants configuration under Modern.

• Switch from Cloud (app) to Pro (plugin) — You have the cloud app installed, buy the Pro plugin in addition, and want to take over your cloud configuration. The cloud app can then be uninstalled.

• Variant no longer offered in the store — Your previous variant is no longer available for purchase. You switch to an active variant and bring your setup along.
