Is there a Shopware connector for Cin7?
No. We checked three places on 20 August 2026 and none of them produced one. Cin7’s own integrations page groups its ecommerce partners under marketplace and ecommerce integrations and names six: Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and eBay. The word Shopware does not appear on that page.
Cin7’s partner and integration directory tells the same story from the other side. It lists Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, Walmart and WooCommerce directly, and reaches BigCommerce, Magento, Etsy and eBay through Pipe17. There is no Shopware entry anywhere in it.
And the Shopware Store, searched for "Cin7", returns the message "No products found". So neither vendor’s own marketplace carries a bridge, and neither vendor has a commercial reason to build one. This is not a criticism of either product. Cin7 Core is a capable inventory and order system and Shopware is a serious B2B platform. They have simply never met commercially, and the absence of a A native connector is integration software published by the ERP or platform vendor themselves, configured rather than built. Acumatica ships native connectors for Shopify and BigCommerce. changes who owns the integration, who fixes it after a release, and how it gets budgeted.
Practically, it means the words "native", "certified" and "supported" should not appear in any Shopware plus Cin7 proposal you receive without a named company attached to them. Ask which firm maintains the bridge and what happens to it the next time Cin7 changes an API response.

The search trap: Shop-Ware on Zapier is not Shopware
Search for a Cin7 and Shopware integration and one of the first credible-looking results is a Zapier page titled "Cin7 Core Inventory Shop-Ware Integration". It is not what you are looking for, and we are saying so here because everybody researching this pairing hits it.
Shop-Ware, with a hyphen, is auto repair shop management software. Its own site describes it as software that "delivers better customer service while increasing your shop’s profits and efficiency" for auto repair shops. The Zapier triggers give the game away: Appointment Created, Repair Order Created, Vehicle Created. Nothing on that page has anything to do with Shopware the German open-source commerce platform.
Two more traps worth knowing. Shopware AG the commerce platform is sometimes written "Shopware 6", which is the current major version, and results for "Shopware 5" describe a product line that reached end of life and does not share a codebase with 6. And a Cin7 result that mentions Shopify B2B through SparkLayer is a real integration, but it is a Shopify path, not a Shopware one.

What each system already holds, and therefore what the bridge has to do
Because there is no connector, this table reads differently from a Shopify or BigCommerce one. Instead of what crosses and when, it shows what Cin7 Core already knows, what Shopware models natively, and what is left over for you to build. Use it as the skeleton of a scope document.
Every Shopware claim below was read from Shopware’s own documentation on 20 August 2026 and every Cin7 claim from Cin7’s help centre. Where a Shopware capability sits behind a plan, the plan is named in the cell, because that is where budgets get ambushed.
| Criterion | What Cin7 Core already holds | What Shopware models natively | What you build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalogue and product data | Products, SKUs, attributes, images and product families. | Products with properties and a variant generator, plus a full admin API for bulk load. | The initial load and the ongoing delta. Shopware’s Sync API exists for bulk writes, so the work is mapping and scheduling rather than plumbing. |
| Price tiersA Cin7 seller whose real pricing lives in per-customer custom prices is the case that makes Shopware worth the trouble, and also the case that makes the integration expensive. | Cin7 Core documents up to 10 price points per product, plus custom prices per customer that "take precedence over regular product prices set by price tiers". | Customer groups and advanced price rules on every plan. The Individual Pricing component, which applies customer and organisation-unit-specific discounts, needs Evolve and Shopware 6.7.8.0 or newer. | The decision that is the whole project, and the heart of Contract pricing is a price that applies to one customer or one group of customers rather than to everyone. In B2B it is normal for the same product to have a different price for every account on the book.: push resolved prices on a schedule, or ask Cin7 at render time with a cache and a defined fallback. Shopware can accept a runtime answer. Nothing gives you one. |
| Stock across locationsThis is the row that most often changes a Cin7 project’s budget, because Cin7 sellers are usually multi-location by the time they are shopping for a B2B storefront. | Stock by location, with availability that Cin7 calculates. | One stock figure per product by default. Multi-Inventory, which holds stock per warehouse with warehouse groups and priorities, is a Shopware Beyond feature. | If you need per-warehouse availability you are on Beyond, which is quote-only pricing. If one aggregated number is acceptable, this row is cheap. |
| Company accounts and buyer roles | Customers and contacts, with no buyer role or approval model. | Employee Management, from Shopware 6.5.6.0, creates employees associated with a company customer who act on behalf of that company, with roles that define their permissions. Evolve and above. | Deciding which system owns a person. Cin7 has no equivalent object, so Shopware is the source of truth for buyer identity and Cin7 receives an order placed by somebody it has never heard of. |
| Orders | Sales orders, with its own status model and fulfilment states. | Orders with a state machine, plus Quick Order for buyers who know their part numbers. | Order push on placement, then status and tracking back. Decide up front which Cin7 states become which Shopware states, because a partial shipment has no obvious Shopware equivalent. |
| Approvals and budgets | Nothing. Cin7 Core has no buyer-side approval chain. | Order Approvals from 6.5.8.0, Organisation Units for departments with their own addresses and payment methods, and Budget Management from 6.7.4.0. All Evolve and above. | Very little, and this is Shopware’s strongest argument in this pairing. These are configured, not built. |
| Quotes | Quotes exist in Cin7 as a sales document, not as a buyer-facing web workflow. | Quote Management, at Evolve and above, where a buyer raises a quote request from the contents of their cart and the merchant reviews, prices and returns it. | The bridge between an accepted Shopware quote and a Cin7 sales order, and the rule for what happens when the two disagree about a price after acceptance. |
| Credit limitsDo not let anyone tell you this row is free on either platform. It is the mechanic most often demonstrated and least often finished. | Credit limit fields exist on the customer record. | We found no native credit-limit hold in Shopware’s documented commercial features. Blocking a checkout is a Rule Builder condition acting on data you supply. | Getting a current balance out of Cin7, deciding how stale it may be, and choosing what the storefront does when Cin7 does not answer. |
| Tax | Tax rules on the order, calculated by Cin7 or by a connected tax engine. | Tax rules and rates, with integrations available for external tax engines. | One decision, written down: who calculates, and whether the receiving system recalculates what the sender already worked out. Getting this wrong shows up as pennies of variance on thousands of orders. |

What are the real routes from Cin7 to Shopware?
Two, and a third that is really the first one wearing a subscription. We have not implemented any named middleware product against Cin7 Core ourselves, so read the product names as pointers to evaluate rather than as recommendations.
Route one is a custom service you own. Cin7 Core’s API is REST with header authentication, using an account id and an application key on every request, and Shopware exposes an Admin API for entity management, a Sync API for bulk writes and a Store API for anything customer-facing. Everything in the table above becomes a mapping in that service. You get full control and full responsibility, including the day Cin7 changes a response shape.
Route two is a general-purpose integration platform, which is Middleware is a layer of software that sits between the ERP and the storefront, translating and enforcing rules that neither system holds on its own. It can be a hosted integration platform or a custom service. you rent rather than write. Celigo, Boomi, Workato, Pipe17 and DCKAP all publish Cin7 connectors and can reach Shopware through its Admin API. You still design every mapping. What you buy is queuing, retries and monitoring, which teams undervalue on day one and are grateful for on day 400.
Route three is a Shopware plugin written for your project, which is route one living inside Shopware rather than beside it. It buys you the ability to resolve a price at render time from inside the storefront’s own pricing layer, which is the main reason a contract-priced seller looks at Shopware at all. It also rules out Shopware’s SaaS Cloud completely, because Shopware’s own extension guide records that plugins cannot be installed in Cloud shops.
Whichever you pick, the question that predicts success is not which tool you bought. It is whether someone wrote down, field by field, which system wins. Every stalled integration we get called into had that document missing.

What does Shopware cost a Cin7 seller before any integration code is written?
Shopware’s public pricing page, read on 20 August 2026, lists Community Edition as free, Rise from €600 a month excluding VAT, Evolve from €2,400 a month excluding VAT, and Beyond as custom. There is no GMV or transaction-fee component on that page, so the licence does not climb with revenue.
Two gates decide which of those numbers is yours, and neither is obvious from the marketing. B2B Components are included in the Evolve and Beyond plans only, which Shopware states flatly on its B2B Components page. So a Cin7 seller who needs employee accounts, an Order approval is a workflow where a buyer builds an order and somebody else at their company authorizes it before it is submitted. The rule is usually a spending threshold, a cost centre, or the buyer’s role. chain or a buyer-raised quote is looking at an Evolve floor of €2,400 a month before a line of integration code exists.
The second gate catches more Cin7 sellers than the first. Multi-Inventory, which is how Shopware holds stock per warehouse, is listed under Shopware Beyond, and Beyond is quote-only. Cin7 users tend to be multi-location by the time they want a B2B storefront, so a requirement that reads as ordinary in Cin7 can move the whole conversation from a published price to a sales call. Ask about it in the first meeting, not the fifth.
Community Edition is free and self-hosted, and Shopware says of it that "It is not available in the Shopware Cloud, setup and maintenance are your responsibility". It is a legitimate starting point for a Cin7 seller with a simple catalogue and a development partner, and it has none of the B2B Components in it.

Who should not put Shopware behind Cin7?
Ten situations where we would tell you to choose something else, and we mean it. Acro Commerce is a Shopware Platinum Partner, which is exactly why this list is the longest section on the page. A page that only lists reasons to buy what we sell should be read as an advertisement.
The last three are the ones nobody says out loud in a demo.
Your pricing fits inside Cin7 Core’s 10 price tiers and a nightly push would genuinely be fine. Shopify B2B or BigCommerce with Cin7’s own integration gets you there for far less, and somebody else maintains it.
Your budget cannot carry €2,400 a month of licence before any development starts. There is no Rise-tier B2B in Shopware.
You genuinely need per-warehouse availability in the storefront. That is Shopware Beyond, which is quote-only, and the pricing conversation changes completely.
You want a hosted storefront with no infrastructure responsibility. A custom Cin7 connector is a plugin, and Shopware’s own guide records that plugins cannot be installed in Cloud shops.
You do not have, and will not hire, a development partner on a maintenance agreement. There is no vendor-maintained Shopware to Cin7 connector to fall back on and no vendor whose job it is to notice degradation after go-live.
You need to be live in a quarter. Designing field-level ownership across nine mechanics is not a six-week exercise.
Returns and RMA drive your business. Shopware’s B2B Components documentation names nine components and none of them is a returns authorization workflow.
Recurring or scheduled reorders are the core of how your customers buy. Shopping Lists hold reusable product collections; they are not a scheduled reorder engine.
You expect the analytics you need to be inside the platform. Shopware 6 does not ship a custom report builder, so plan on exporting to a business intelligence tool.
You are a US merchant counting on Shopware Payments. Shopware states it "is currently available only to merchants with their registered office in Germany or Austria", with expansion described as planned rather than shipped.

What we could not verify about Shopware and Cin7
Four things we deliberately have not claimed, because we could not source them on 20 August 2026.
We could not find any third-party Shopware to Cin7 connector, on Cin7’s directory, in the Shopware Store, or through open search. Absence of evidence is strong here, given both marketplaces are searchable, but it is not proof, so if a vendor tells you they have one, ask for a reference customer rather than assuming we missed it.
We could not establish whether Shopware’s B2B Components are fully exposed through the Store API, which is the question that decides whether a decoupled Shopware B2B storefront is even possible. Shopware’s B2B Components developer documentation makes no statement about Store API coverage. We intend to answer this properly rather than guess at it.
Neither vendor publishes usable throughput numbers. Cin7 Core’s documentation says only that "API limits are applied on per API Application basis" without giving a figure, and Shopware’s integrations guide publishes no rate limits, batch-size caps or API versioning policy. Any throughput claim in a proposal has to come from a test against your own tenant, not from a datasheet.
And we have not run a Shopware plus Cin7 implementation, so nothing on this page is drawn from one. What we can give you is the shape of the work. The specific answer for your catalogue, your price structure and your warehouse count is what the diagnostic produces.

The wider picture
This page answers one narrow question. Acro Commerce covers the strategy around it.
Common questions
- Is there a Cin7 Shopware connector?
- Not that we can find as of 20 August 2026. Cin7’s integrations page names Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and eBay as its ecommerce channels and never mentions Shopware, its partner directory has no Shopware entry, and a Shopware Store search for "Cin7" returns "No products found". Every Shopware plus Cin7 project is therefore a custom build or an integration-platform build that you commission and own.
- What is the Zapier "Cin7 Core to Shop-Ware" integration then?
- It is a different product with a confusingly similar name. Shop-Ware, hyphenated, is auto repair shop management software, and the Zapier triggers on that page are Appointment Created, Repair Order Created and Vehicle Created. It has no relationship to Shopware the commerce platform, and it is the single most common false positive when researching this pairing.
- Do Cin7 Core custom prices survive into Shopware?
- Only if you build the mechanism that carries them. Cin7 Core supports custom prices per customer that its documentation says "take precedence over regular product prices set by price tiers", and Shopware can express customer-specific pricing through customer groups, advanced price rules or the Individual Pricing component at Evolve. Nothing moves between the two on its own, so this row is a design decision before it is a development task.
- Which Shopware plan does a Cin7 B2B build need?
- Evolve at minimum if you need B2B behaviour, because Shopware states that "B2B Components are included in the Shopware plans Evolve and Beyond", and Evolve starts at €2,400 a month excluding VAT. If you need stock held and shown per warehouse, that is Multi-Inventory, which is listed under Shopware Beyond and priced by quotation. Confirm both with Shopware before you build a business case on the €600 Rise figure.
- Can we run Shopware Cloud and connect it to Cin7?
- Not with a custom plugin. Shopware’s own extension guide records that plugins cannot be installed in Cloud shops, and apps, which can, "don’t run code directly inside the shop system" and communicate with external services through APIs instead. So a Cloud tenant can be integrated by an external service calling the Admin API, but a connector that hooks into Shopware’s own pricing or checkout logic requires self-hosted or PaaS.
- Should a Cin7 seller just use Shopify B2B instead?
- Often, yes. If your pricing fits inside Cin7’s 10 price tiers, you do not need a buyer-side approval chain, and one aggregated stock number is acceptable, Shopify B2B with Cin7’s own integration is faster, cheaper and maintained by somebody else. Shopware earns its cost when the buying rules are too specific for a hosted platform to model and you can carry Evolve licensing plus a development partner.
