About the Extension

Build Custom CMS Blocks — No Developer Needed

Tired of being limited to Shopware's default CMS blocks?

Every time you need a custom block layout, you have to call your developer. A hero section with a specific image-text arrangement? A multi-column feature comparison? That'll be a ticket, a few hours of dev work, and a few hundred euros.

CMS Block Builder changes that.

Open the block composer in your admin panel, pick the CMS elements you want, drag them into a grid, adjust the column widths, and save. Your new block appears right in the CMS block picker — ready to use on any page.

How It Works

Open the Block Builder in your admin under Content
Create a new block and choose a grid layout (or build your own)
Choose existing CMS elements (text, image, product listing, video — any element) into the grid slots
Configure each element as usual
Name your block, pick a category, and save
Use your block anywhere in the CMS — it appears in the standard block picker

Key Features

Drag-and-drop block composer — combine any CMS elements into custom blocks
Flexible grid layouts — define rows, columns, and responsive breakpoints
Reusable block library — save blocks with names and categories, use them everywhere
Appears in the block picker — your custom blocks show up alongside Shopware's defaults
Responsive preview — see how your block looks on desktop, tablet, and mobile
Truly no-code — no HTML, CSS, Twig, or PHP knowledge required
Unlimited custom blocks — create as many as you need

Who Is This For?

Shop owners who want creative control over their content layouts
Marketing teams who build landing pages and campaign pages regularly
Content editors who are tired of working within the constraints of default blocks
Anyone who wants to stop paying developer hourly rates for simple layout changes

What Makes It Different?

Unlike other CMS plugins that require HTML, CSS, or Twig knowledge, CMS Block Builder is truly no-code. If you can use the Shopware CMS editor, you can build a block.

Unlike grid-only plugins, we don't just add column layouts — we let you save complete blocks with multiple elements as reusable types that appear in the standard block picker.

A unique identifier using lowercase letters and hyphens.

Before saving:

Block Name and Technical Name must be filled in

Every area must have a CMS element assigned

Block Composer

A visual 12-column grid where you design your block layout.

Preset Layouts:

Full Width (1 Column)
2 Columns
Sidebar Left
Sidebar Right

Drawing Custom Areas:

Click and drag on the grid to draw a rectangular area
Release the mouse to confirm
Click the area to assign a CMS element
Areas can span multiple columns and rows but cannot overlap

Managing Areas:

Hover and click the swap icon to change the element
Hover and click X to remove the area
Use Add Row and Remove Row buttons below the grid

All Shopware CMS elements can be used: Text, Image, Video, Product Box, Product Slider, Image Gallery, Category Navigation, Forms, and elements from other plugins.

Responsive Breakpoints

Desktop - Primary layout. All element assignments happen here.
Tablet - Can reposition areas but cannot change elements.
Mobile - Same as Tablet.

Elements are shared across all breakpoints. If no Tablet or Mobile layout is defined, the Desktop layout is used.

Using Blocks in the CMS Editor

Open any Shopping Experiences layout
Click the Blocks tab in the right sidebar
Select the category of your block
Drag your custom block into the layout
Configure each element as usual

Custom blocks are compatible with any theme and survive Shopware updates.

Structure Locking

When a block is used on CMS pages, its structure is automatically locked.

Locked: Adding or removing areas, rows, presets, and clear all.

Still allowed: Swapping element types, changing block name, category, position, and active status.

Blocks in use cannot be deleted. The dialog shows which pages reference the block.

Permissions

Assign roles under Settings, System, Users and Permissions.

Viewer - View block library and details.
Editor - Edit settings and layouts. Requires Viewer.
Creator - Create and duplicate blocks. Requires Viewer and Editor.
Deleter - Delete unused blocks. Requires Viewer.

Do I need any coding knowledge?

No. If you can drag and drop in the Shopware CMS editor, you can use CMS Block Builder.

Which CMS elements can I use?

All of them — text, image, product listing, product slider, video, category navigation, and any elements from other plugins.

Will my custom blocks survive Shopware updates?

Yes. Custom blocks use standard Shopware CMS elements underneath, so they are update-safe.

Can I edit a saved block?

Yes. But only the element positioning/ grid layout will reflect the change. Elements used within the block will only change on newly created CMS pages.

How many blocks can I create?

Unlimited.

Does this work with my theme?

Yes. Since custom blocks render using standard CMS elements, they are compatible with any Shopware theme.
