## What it is
Shopware 5 is an open-source e-commerce platform built on Symfony, Doctrine, and Zend Framework, providing a full online store solution with an event-driven plugin system and hook architecture. This repository contains the core of the legacy Shopware 5 generation, which is now in maintenance while the vendor focuses on Shopware 6.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted online store with php and mysql
- build a customizable ecommerce shop with plugins
- maintain an existing shopware 5 storefront
- extend an ecommerce platform with a custom plugin
- set up a b2c or b2b webshop in germany/europe
- customize checkout and product catalog logic in a shop

## When to choose
- you already run Shopware 5 and need the core source to maintain or extend it
- you need a mature, self-hosted PHP ecommerce platform with a large plugin ecosystem
- your hosting stack is PHP 7.4 with Apache and MySQL and you want full code control

## When to avoid
- you are starting a brand-new ecommerce project - Shopware 6 is the actively developed successor
- you need modern PHP 8+ support or long-term new features
- you want a headless or API-first commerce architecture out of the box
