~20-30 minutes per shop
Click through manually per shop: pick plugin, start update, wait, clear cache, verify. With 5 shops, half a day.
Plugin and Shopware updates in a single dashboard — with backup, rollback and audit log.
With a growing plugin landscape and multiple shops, update hygiene becomes the bottleneck — Stone & Water Update Manager cleans this up.
If you maintain multiple Shopware shops, you know the drill: every few weeks 20+ plugin updates per shop, plus core patches. Every time clicking manually through the plugin manager, doing backups beforehand, checking afterwards whether migrations ran, and on the first bug frantically searching for the old ZIP. That does not scale.
Click through manually per shop: pick plugin, start update, wait, clear cache, verify. With 5 shops, half a day.
Did anyone actually pull a backup before the update? If the plugin no longer works after the update, there is often no way back except reinstalling the old version by hand.
With multiple admins, no traceability — who updated this plugin and which version was installed before?
A single screen for every plugin and Shopware update, with status, diff preview and bulk actions.
Instead of clicking through the Shopware plugin manager — all pending updates for all installed plugins on one page. With current version, new version, release date.
The Shopware core itself is also shown — patch, minor and major versions clearly separated, with breaking-change hints per major.
Per plugin a status indicator: is there a backup? Is the plugin running against the current Shopware version? Is there an update pending?
Select multiple plugins and update them in one go — the manager runs them sequentially and stops on errors.
After every plugin update the necessary Symfony console tasks are executed automatically: cache:clear, database:migrate, plugin:refresh.
Before every update you see the key changes from the plugin changelog. If breaking changes are included, an extra warning is shown.
Snapshots before every update, one-click rollback, audit log across all actions. No more "damn, no backup" moments.
Before every single plugin update the whole plugin directory is archived automatically — both the installed PHP files and the plugin configuration from the database (system_config entries). This is not optional, it is default.
Before every update a snapshot of the plugin folder is taken — including the corresponding system_config entries in the Shopware database.
If an update causes problems — rollback to the previous version with one click. Backup is restored, migrations rolled back if needed.
By default the last 5 versions per plugin are kept — adjustable per plugin or globally.
Every update is logged with user, timestamp, old and new version — full traceability for teams.
Per plugin a shield badge: green when backup exists; yellow when last backup is older than 7 days; red when none exists.
Even without a pending update, a manual backup snapshot for any plugin can be triggered anytime.
You choose how aggressively updates run — immediately, nightly, or in wave mode across multiple servers. With optional maintenance mode.
For individual plugins you want to update right now — click "Update now", plugin is updated, cache cleared, done.
Weekly, nightly, monthly — updates can run automatically in a maintenance window. The SW 6.7 constructor fix for scheduled tasks is included.
Update plan definitions: test server first, then prod after 24 hours. On error in test run, prod update is locked automatically until you double-check.
In highly regulated setups: only plugins from a whitelist may auto-update — everything else must be manually approved per update.
Multiple Shopware instances are processed sequentially — no simultaneous multi-server hammer on the plugin source.
Before the update the Shopware maintenance mode can be enabled — and disabled automatically afterwards.
Backups land via Shopware Flysystem in the configured storage — local, S3, or both in parallel.
Instead of working with fopen and file_put_contents directly, the Update Manager runs entirely through Shopware Flysystem. That makes it S3-compatible — backups can be stored on cloud storage without the plugin having to change anything.
By default everything runs locally in the files/ directory. No external storage, no additional setup, no vendor lock-in.
On request, backups can be stored on any S3-compatible storage — via standard Shopware filesystem configuration.
Backups can be stored locally AND in the cloud at the same time — local fast restore, cloud disaster recovery.
