Features
Managing tiered or rule-based pricing is a core requirement for many Shopware 6 stores — especially those dealing with B2B catalogs, wholesale structures, volume discounts, or regional pricing rules. Shopware supports these structures through Advanced Prices, which can be imported directly as part of a product update via the advanced_prices column in your CSV file.
This guide explains the complete structure of advanced pricing imports, how to format pricing tiers correctly, and what rules Shopware applies during automatic processing. Continue Reading
Managing prices across parent and variant products is one of the recurring challenges in Shopware 6 catalogs, especially when dealing with numerous variations and frequent pricing updates. In many stores, variants unintentionally accumulate outdated, inconsistent, or manually modified prices that no longer align with the parent product’s intended pricing structure.
To solve this, the Improved Import & Export Tool for Shopware 6 introduces a new field: price_inherited. This feature helps merchants enforce clean, consistent pricing by ensuring that variant products automatically inherit pricing from their parent.
This article explains how price_inherited works, why it matters, and how to use it effectively. Continue Reading
