Order Payment Guard
Control order creation and inventory reservation based on payment status in Shopware 6. Prevent overselling, automate cancellations, and recover abandoned payments.
The description shows what such a plugin can do. We tailor the scope to your shop after a short needs analysis and usually deliver within a few days.
In short
- Prevent overselling by reserving stock only for orders with confirmed payment status
- Reduce ERP pollution by stopping failed-payment orders from reaching downstream systems
- Recover abandoned orders automatically — shops using reminder flows report over 80% payment completion rates
Why this extension
Without the plugin
Shopware 6 creates orders regardless of whether payment succeeds — a default behavior that causes real operational pain for online shops. Unresolved orders pile up in your system, inventory gets reserved for transactions that will never complete, and ERP integrations receive data that should never have been sent. For shops that rely on accurate stock levels or tight warehouse workflows, this is not a minor inconvenience; it is a structural problem.
With the plugin
OrderPaymentGuard gives Shopware 6 store operators direct control over how the platform handles orders tied to failed, cancelled, or incomplete payments. Configure rules that block order creation outright, automatically cancel open orders after a defined period, or restrict inventory reservation exclusively to orders with confirmed payment. Built-in payment reminder automation and seamless integration with popular Shopware 6 payment gateways make this extension a complete solution for payment lifecycle management — without custom development.
How it would work
- Define Your Payment Rules
In the plugin's administration panel, select which payment statuses should trigger each action — block order creation, allow creation without inventory reservation, or allow full order creation. Set exceptions per payment method, so prepayment and cash-on-delivery orders follow their own logic without affecting card or digital wallet transactions.
- Configure Automation and Reminders
Set a cancellation timeout for orders that remain in an open or unpaid state. Configure the reminder email sequence — choose the timing, number of attempts, and email template. The plugin integrates directly with Shopware 6 Flow Builder, so you can extend the automation with any additional steps your workflow requires.
- Monitor and Adjust
Review order status logs in the administration panel to verify that rules are being applied correctly. Adjust cancellation timers, reminder schedules, or payment-method exceptions at any time without redeployment. Changes take effect immediately across your Shopware 6 store.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a ready plugin I can buy?
No – it is a concept. We build it for your shop after a short needs analysis. Prices start at €100 and you get a fixed quote before we start.
Will this plugin affect prepayment or cash-on-delivery orders?
No — the plugin includes explicit exception handling for prepayment (Vorkasse) and cash-on-delivery (Nachnahme) payment methods. These orders follow their own configurable rules and are not subject to the same payment-confirmation requirements as card or digital wallet transactions.
How does inventory reservation work with this plugin?
You can configure the plugin to reserve stock only for orders with a confirmed payment status. Orders in an open or failed state will not block inventory, preventing overselling without requiring manual intervention. Exceptions can be defined per payment method.
Can I customize the payment reminder emails?
Yes. Reminder emails use Shopware 6 native email templates, which you can edit directly in the administration panel. You can also configure how many reminders are sent and at what intervals after the original abandoned payment.
Does this plugin integrate with my existing payment gateway?
OrderPaymentGuard is designed to work with popular payment gateway plugins available in the Shopware 6 ecosystem, including PayPal, Stripe, and Mollie. If you use a less common gateway, contact us before purchase and we will confirm compatibility.
Which Shopware versions are supported?
We build it for the version your shop runs: 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7. Updates for new Shopware versions are included as long as we stay in active contact.
How long does it take?
Usually 5–10 business days after the needs analysis, depending on the agreed scope.
