Shopware

Shopware is a powerful open source e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create online stores with relative ease; the platform is built with popular technologies such as Composer and Symfony, and it is therefore very versatile, as this allows the platform to be used for many different purposes besides that which is offered as "core" functionality through composer packages and plugins made specifically for Shopware.

The platform offers a wide variety of payment- and shipping methods, and is easily extendable with more through existing plugins or custom development.

The internationalization part is also very well done, as Shopware supports multiple languages out-of-the-box. Operating multiple websites (domain names), each with their own language and settings, is also relatively easy when using Shopware – all the domains can be handled by the same system with different designs (themes), which centralizes the development and makes it easier to maintain multiple sites targeted at different countries.
