How we transformed a broken legacy notification module into a targeted communication engine with customer group segmentation, hybrid messaging, and automated scheduling.
A fellow Shopware developer approached us with a critical situation: a custom notification module they had built for an older version of Shopware 6 had completely broken after updating to v6.6.10. With their own project load at capacity, they needed a partner who could not only fix the compatibility issues but also enhance the plugin's capabilities.
The mission was twofold: first, audit and refactor the existing codebase for 100% Shopware 6.6 compatibility; then, evolve the simple alert tool into a targeted communication engine.
We approached this as a two-phase project: stabilization first, then feature evolution. Once the foundation was solid, we transformed the notification module from a basic alert system into a powerful communication platform:
Multi-select customer group targeting so B2B and B2C segments receive only relevant updates
Custom HTML editor for simultaneous shop notifications and email alerts from a single configuration tab
Date and time triggers to automate communication without manual intervention
Complete codebase audit and refactoring to meet Shopware 6.6's latest requirements
"In the Shopware ecosystem, version updates shouldn't be a source of fear. They should be an opportunity to optimize."
Whether you need a legacy plugin rescued after a Shopware update or a reliable partner to offload custom plugin development, we can help get your store back on track.
