About the Extension
Too many clicks in the admin — and no category tree?
You manage hundreds or thousands of items in Shopware 6 and know the problem: product management runs through an endless list. The category view from Shopware 5, where you find items directly in the tree, is missing in the default setup. Orders, customers and documents often show too little context at a glance — and complex searches cost fresh clicks every time.
AdminTools turns the Shopware admin into a toolkit that fits your daily work: category tree, smart filters, richer list views and direct jumps to the storefront.
Where the default admin hits limits in larger shops
Shopware offers solid management, but little comfort for teams with large catalogs or high order volume. You switch constantly between lists, details and the storefront. Colleagues repeat the same filters. Important info such as payment method, shipping or tracking often appears only in detail views. That adds up to lost time every day.
Manage products in the category tree again
With AdminTools, you show products directly in the category tree — including product count and active or inactive status. Pick a category and see immediately which items are assigned. The category helper can be limited to specific levels via a depth filter, so large trees stay manageable.
Dynamic product groups also appear in the product overview. You keep variants and automatic assignments in view without detours through the storefront.
Filters you build once and reuse
Combinable search filters for products, orders and customers turn complex queries into seconds — by delivery status, time period, product or any entity property. Saved filters are available to you, all users or specific roles. Your team works consistently without rebuilding filters from scratch.
More context in orders and product details
The order overview shows extra columns: payment method, shipping method, included products, shipment tracking with tracking codes, coupon code and stock level. A direct link leads from the order to the customer profile.
In product details, a new Orders tab shows which orders contain the item — useful for complaints, reorders and assortment analysis. In customer details, you see orders with payment, order and delivery status, invoice number and products at a glance.
Log in as customer — support without guesswork
For troubleshooting or customer care, you log in as a customer in the storefront — via Shopware standard or AdminTools' own login service. Identity switching in the customer listing takes you to the customer account with one click.
Notes, documents and useful admin details
Internal notes on products, customers and orders keep team agreements in one place — with pinning for what matters. The document overview bundles receipts: filter, download or send by email.
In property management, you see which products are affected per option. Flow triggers on account activation and deactivation automate follow-up steps. You open products in the respective sales channel directly from listing or detail view.
Who benefits from AdminTools
Shop operators and agencies with large catalogs, active B2B or support-heavy processes save time in the backend every day with AdminTools. Install the plugin, enable category tree and filters — and check with a real order whether your team gets the overview they need.
FAQ
Compatibility
Our extension is generally compatible with all our own extensions, provided that the respective functionalities do not conflict with each other.
For third-party extensions, including Shopware’s premium extensions, we cannot guarantee unrestricted compatibility. Should any issues arise in this context, our support team will be happy to assist you.
Naturally, when new Shopware versions are released, we ensure that our extension is made compatible with them in a timely manner.
Please note that our statements refer to the Shopware Community Edition with the standard responsive theme.
Support
Do you need assistance? Our support team is at your disposal in both German and English.
To process your request as quickly as possible, please ensure that:
- The latest version of our extension, compatible with your Shopware version, is installed
- You have a valid rental or subscription license
- The issue also occurs in the Shopware standard theme and with all third-party extensions deactivated
- No changes have been made by you or third parties to the plugin code
- You have studied the manual in advance, as it already contains many helpful pieces of information
In most cases, it is necessary for us to have unrestricted access to your shop’s administration in order to analyze and fix the problem. Additionally, it may be required for you to provide us with FTP or ideally SSH credentials for your server. Please note that setting up and later removing these accesses is your responsibility.
For a smooth troubleshooting process, we recommend conducting support in a staging or development environment. This allows issues to be reproduced under controlled conditions without affecting your live shop.
To submit a support request, please use your Shopware account or our support portal at https://support.netinventors.de.
Please note:
For paid extensions, we offer free support.
For free extensions, we are also happy to assist you, but we will charge for the effort separately.

Ein absolutes must have...
Ohne dieses Plugin ist Shopware 6 so gut wie unbrauchbar.
Wobei ich das leider gleich mal mit einer fetten Kritik an Shopware verbinden muss: Wie kann es sein, dass die angeblich tollste, beste und nebenbei mit 2500 Euro auch nicht grade billige Shopsoftware diese Funktion nicht schon von Haus aus hat???
