FreeTheme requires at least Shopware 6.7.2 as starting version. This version is fully supported and tested.
New Shopware versions:
After each new Shopware version, we check compatibility and provide an update promptly. We recommend always using the latest Shopware version – both for maximum compatibility and for security reasons.
Older versions:
Shopware versions before 6.7.2 are not actively supported. To use FreeTheme, an update to at least Shopware 6.7.2 is mandatory. Ideally, you should update to the latest Shopware version to benefit from all features and security updates.
Cloud & Self-Hosted:
FreeTheme works flawlessly in both the Shopware Cloud and on self-hosted installations. The app architecture ensures maximum compatibility in both environments.
Important: Always check in the Shopware Account whether your FreeTheme version is compatible with your Shopware version.
FreeTheme offers you several options for individual customizations – depending on your technical knowledge and requirements:
1. CSS customizations directly in the theme
For smaller design adjustments, you can add your own CSS via the Expert Settings in the theme configuration. This is ideal for:
• Color adjustments of individual elements
• Optimizing spacing and sizes
• Small layout corrections
• Responsive adjustments
Your CSS is loaded automatically and remains even after theme updates.
2. Template customizations with the Customizing App
For more extensive customizations, a free Customizing App is available to you in the FreeTheme Essentials. With it you can:
• Override and extend Twig templates
• Use SCSS files for complex styles
• Add JavaScript functionality
• Work update-safe without changing the main theme
The Customizing App is the professional solution for developers and agencies.
3. Detailed instructions in the documentation
In our documentation you will find step-by-step instructions for all customization options – from simple CSS changes to complex template extensions. Including code examples and best practices.
