Shopware 6 Specialist · Plugin Developer · ERP & API Integration
Shopware 6 Advanced Certified · 8+ years exclusive focus · 164+ plugins · 96+ clients
I build custom Shopware 6 plugins and integrations for B2B and D2C merchants, and work as a technical subcontractor for agencies that need Shopware depth without hiring full-time.
8+ years of exclusive Shopware focus. Core developer on the official Findologic Shopware 6 plugin with 100+ merged PRs across the Findologic plugins and shared API client. Two merged upstream PRs into the Shopware core. 164+ plugins shipped across 96+ clients in DACH, UK, and US markets.
Plugin development Custom Shopware 6 plugins with unit tests and code coverage. Open-source work lives at github.com/zaifastafa. Upstream Shopware core contributions: PR #16380 and PR #16219.
Custom import & export High-volume product data pipelines, supplier feed processing (XML, CSV, API), automated sync with validation and error handling. One import system handled 269k+ product lines. WinArboR XML integration eliminated 3-4 hours of daily manual work for a DACH client.
ERP & API integration Connecting Shopware to merchandise management platforms (WinArboR, JTL), payment providers, shipping carriers, and third-party services via REST and custom adapters.
Custom functionality & checkout modifications B2B pricing engines, RFQ systems, tender management flows built by modifying the Shopware checkout, approval workflows, cart logic, and admin extensions.
Migrations & upgrades Shopware 5 to 6 migrations and version upgrades (6.4 to 6.7) without losing data, SEO rankings, or plugin compatibility.
Agency subcontracting White-label Shopware development. I work under your brand, communicate at your client's level, and deliver on agreed timelines. No exclusivity required.
