We’re transitioning to the Shopware Community Hub

academy.shopware.com will be phased out in the near future. We’re currently working hard to bring new learning paths to the Shopware Community Hub - and many of them are already available for you to explore and enroll in today.

A few remaining courses are still hosted here, but will be migrated. Once all content is available in the Shopware Community Hub, academy.shopware.com will be discontinued.

This step allows us to provide a better user experience and create a single point of truth for all community learning resources.
Thank you for your understanding!
