Today a customer calls and complains that he cannot put an article into the shopping cart…because other orders are constantly rushing in, you think it can’t be the shop. Well maybe the customer is making a “stupid” mistake…far from it…the customer was right! The solution was quite simple! The shop was accessible via http: as well as via the encrypted SSL page. An automatic redirection to https://www.leckerstecker.de brought the solution. Sometimes it can also be simple.

Sicherlich wird der übliche Aufruf über einen Suchmaschinen Link erfolgen…aber hier hat der Kunde tatsächlich direkt den direkten Weg gewählt. Ich möchte nicht darüber nachdenken, wie viele Geschäfte uns durch den kleinen Fehler entgangen sind.

Settings > Theme Manager – Select Theme, then configure theme

The logo has the format 867px * 189px for the desktop version. For other devices the logo can be adapted accordingly. It can be easily exchanged via the above mentioned path.

If you do not want articles without stock to be visible in the shop, you can do this by a simple setting in the basic settings menu in the Storefront category.

Basic settings >Storefront >Shopping cart/Article details > Deactivate sales articles without stock: Set to yes!

The sales setting for the respective article can be adjusted here:
Article > Overview > Edit article > Master data

The service hotline information is a text module. Text modules can be changed easily via “Settings – Text modules”.
So that you don’t have to search for the right text module forever, it is recommended to simply enter the word “Hotline” in the search field.

In order to use Google Analytics and Adwords sensibly, you need the Conversion ID. This is stored in the Shopware Google Plugin.

The Conversion ID can be obtained via Adwords. There via Settings (click on the wrench) > Measurements > Conversions

The conversion ID in this example is: AW-961433594
The Conversion ID is then entered here. In case of several subshops, the conversion ID can of course differ and be generated for each individual shop.

To adjust the status of an order via the Shopware API, you need the respective status IDs. These can be found in the following table.

Today, the European Court of Justice gave a fundamental answer to a legal question that has been smouldering for years: the question was whether the consent of site visitors is required for the lawful processing of cookies.

Shopware brings all the necessary things with it from home. Settings, basic settings, search for „privacy”

Of course the hint must be displayed first. Cookies are allowed to my knowledge, but only if they are technically necessary. Therefore I recommend the cookie hint mode “Technically necessary cookies allowed, ask for the rest”.

After saving the settings, do not forget to empty the shop cache. You can do this via the menu or with the key combination CTRL-ALT-X.

If the article is not displayed in the storefront, this can have various reasons. Over time, you will develop a feeling for the “shopware needs”.  First of all, you need to check if the item is assigned to an active category. If this is not the case, the item cannot be displayed. If you create the articles via the API, the article must be set to active = true in the article object as well as in the article details object.

If you simply insert the link, Shopware will automatically give the link a NOFOLLOW attribute. Idealo has asked me to remove this, as this is understandably not in accordance with the agreement. Just add the link without http:// and it will work.

Change “Settings – Text modules”.
So that you don’t have to search for the right text module forever, it is recommended to simply enter the word “Hotline” in the search field.
