About the Extension
The Shopware 6 theme for publishers, bookshops and antiquarian dealers.BookWare brings the book data a standard theme does not know: author, contributors, series and volume, edition, binding and pages – as bibliographic details on the product page, as filters in the listing and as structured data for search engines. On top come a design made for books and three profiles in one theme: Publisher for your own list, Bookshop for your own online range and Antiquarian bookshop for used books and rarities.
A finished book shop in one click: under Content › BookWare you choose a profile – the demo assistant creates categories, books with complete book data and a matching home page. Then you only adjust the details. The demo can be removed again with one click at any time.
