Listing Interrupter & Banner Studio

About the Extension

Your category pages carry the most traffic and show the least of your brand.

Shoppers scroll past row after row of product tiles. The seasonal campaign, the free-shipping message, the new collection teaser — all of it lives on a landing page they never open. Shopware gives you no way to break up that grid, so the best real estate in your shop stays a wall of products.

Listing Interrupter & Banner Studio puts campaign tiles directly into the grid, at the slot you choose:

• Banner tiles with image, badge, headline, subline and a call-to-action linking to a URL, a category or a product
• One cell, two cells or a full-width row — sized against the listing's real column count, never a hardcoded class
• A separate background image, width, position and styling per device, with tablet and mobile inheriting from desktop until you override them
• Headline, subline, badge and button text translated for English and German from day one

Pick the slot by clicking it, not by guessing a row number.

The placement screen loads your real products from a category you pick and draws the grid the way a shopper sees it. Click the slot you want and your configured tile appears there immediately, marked with its position — or drag it to another slot, and drag its right edge to make it wider.

Your other campaigns are on the same canvas, exactly where the storefront puts them, so you can see what a page already carries before you add to it. A panel beside the grid lists every tile on the page with its slot, width and page range, and you can step through the pages your tile runs on. Every edit on the content tab re-renders the preview as you type, so you never save just to find out how it looks.

This is the step competing plugins ask you to take blind: type a position number, save, clear the cache, open the storefront and check.

Targeting that matches how campaigns actually run

• Categories picked from the native category tree
• Explicit sales channel assignment — a tile with no channel shows nowhere
• Page ranges: first page only, pages 1-5, page 3 onward
• Show or hide per device: mobile, tablet, desktop
• Shopware's own Rule Builder for audience and timing: customer group, cart contents, logged-in state, date windows

Scheduling is not a separate pair of date fields bolted onto the tile. Availability runs through a native rule, so the same conditions that govern your shipping methods and promotions govern your campaign tiles.

Built to leave your listing alone

Tiles are rendered on the server, inside the listing markup. Their headlines and links are in the page source rather than being inserted by a script after the page loads.

A listing page is a fixed grid of cells. A tile takes the cells it needs, the listing fetches that many fewer products on the pages where the tile appears, and later pages shift accordingly — so no product is ever skipped or shown twice. Your grid always closes exactly, with no half-empty final row. Full-width tiles add their own row and leave the alignment untouched.

Saving or deleting a tile clears the affected listing caches automatically. There is no manual cache step anywhere in the workflow.

What you should know before you install

Tiles render in the Product Listing element, which covers your category and listing pages. Search results and manufacturer pages are not covered in this version.

No framework plugin, no companion app, no additional installs — it runs on its own.

Everything above is included, and the 30-day trial is the complete plugin with no restrictions. Analytics, A/B testing and campaign grouping are planned and will ship as free updates.
