Costs and Investment
What ongoing costs arise after go-live?
Answer
After go-live, essentially three ongoing items arise: hosting, maintenance and optional further development. Hosting on German servers covers infrastructure, SSL certificates and backup storage and is geared to the load and data volume of your shop.
Maintenance starts with a base package including monthly security updates and monitoring and can be extended up to Premium SLAs with binding response times. Since Shopware Community Edition incurs no license fees, a frequently underestimated cost item, one that grows with revenue in other models, is eliminated.
The available tiers are described on our Maintenance page. A calculation tailored to your operation we prepare on request.
