Agentic Commerce

Ryan Prichard, Vice President SMB and Financial Services at PayPal took the stage to announce the new Commerce Agent Platform and give attendees a preview of the tool.

"Shopware is pursuing a consistent AI and agentic‑readiness strategy. We believe in open architecture and we always aim to put merchants at the center. With Shopware, merchants have the freedom to manage their systems and processes independently, autonomously, and without restrictions," emphasised Sebastian Hamann, Co-CEO and founder, Shopware.

B2B Components for Every Growth Phase

Over 60% of Shopware merchants are B2B sellers or combine B2B and B2C. With new B2B Components and a flexible open framework, Shopware delivers scalable solutions for every growth phase, meeting the needs of "Complex Commerce."

At SCD, Shopware introduced three new B2B Components:

• Advanced Product Catalogues: This tool enables merchants to create tailored product catalogs and speed up customer-specific quoting processes.
• Budget Management: This tool allows merchants to manage budgets in a targeted way and allocate them to teams, delivering greater transparency and efficiency.
• Individual Pricing: The feature maps customer‑specific prices directly in the shop, saving resources, strengthening trust and increasing loyalty through repeat purchases.
