## In short

- Restore the percentage shipping functionality you relied on in Shopware 5 — without rewriting your migration project
- Eliminate costly custom development by configuring proportional shipping rates directly in the admin panel
- Protect margins on high-value orders by ensuring shipping fees scale proportionally with cart value

## Why this extension

Shopware 5 gave merchants a flexible formula-based approach to shipping costs — including the ability to calculate fees as a percentage of the shopping cart value. When migrating to Shopware 6, many stores discover that this option is no longer available natively. The built-in price matrix covers fixed amounts based on item count, cart value, weight, or volume, but percentage-based rates are simply not on the menu. The result: merchants either settle for workarounds that confuse customers, or commission custom development at significant cost.

This Shopware 6 extension restores the missing functionality cleanly and correctly. You can define cart value brackets — for example, "cart between €1 and €250 = 7.5% shipping fee" — and assign them per country or delivery zone, all through a straightforward interface in the Shopware 6 administration panel. No code, no workarounds, no custom Cart Processors.

## How it would work

1. Install and Activate – Upload the plugin through the Shopware 6 Extension Manager and activate it. No database migrations or server-level changes are required beyond the standard Shopware plugin installation process.
2. Configure Your Percentage Brackets – Navigate to Settings → Shipping in the Shopware 6 administration panel. Open any shipping method and select the new "Percentage of cart value" calculation mode. Define your cart value brackets and assign a percentage rate to each. Repeat per country or delivery zone as needed.
3. Apply and Test – Save your configuration and place a test order. The plugin calculates the applicable shipping cost in real time based on the current cart subtotal and the matching bracket rule, displaying the result to the customer during checkout — exactly as you would expect from a native Shopware 6 feature.

## 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.

### We are migrating from Shopware 5 — will this cover the percentage shipping we had before?

Yes. The plugin is designed specifically to close the gap that SW5-to-SW6 migrations expose. You can recreate bracket-based percentage shipping rules per country, matching the behaviour your team and customers were accustomed to in Shopware 5.

### Does the plugin replace the existing Shopware 6 price matrix, or work alongside it?

It extends the existing system. Your current fixed-amount shipping methods and price matrix rules remain untouched. Percentage-based rates are an additional calculation mode you can enable on any shipping method independently.

### Do I need developer access or coding skills to configure the plugin?

No. All configuration is handled through the standard Shopware 6 administration panel. There is no requirement to write code, edit templates, or access the server directly.

### Can I set different percentage rates for different countries?

Yes. The plugin supports per-country and per-delivery-zone configurations, so you can apply a 7.5% rate for domestic orders and a different rate for international shipments within the same shipping method.

### 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.
