Shopware: Save new entity – don’t use getVars()

I’m a Magento developer and therefore I save entities. I’m used to it and using a class to set all properties on it is a great way to interact with an entity. Shopware doesn’t. To create a new entity you call create on a repository and pass an array to it. Like this example from“Shopware: Save new entity – don’t use getVars()” weiterlesen

Shopware: Automation around documents

One of our customers wanted us to import their invoices from their ERP system. And although Shopware is able to use custom pdf files for their invoices, there is no automation yet to do this.

Shopware: Landingpage outside of Shopware and “add to cart”

Shopify private app – get started

Maxcluster: cluster-control restart PHP with deployer

Most of our customers are hosted on maxcluster. And thanks to their cluster-control one can automate a lot of things using it. For example restarting PHP after deployment. You don’t want this on a production environment, but sometimes it might make sense to have it on a stage machine.

Migrating passwords from your old store to Shopify/BigCommerce/any SaaS …

It is not possible – isn’t it? Shopify is stating on their webite, that they can’t import passwords and the recommended way to migrate customers is to send them an invite/activation link. I’m sure you can imagine that you’ll lose a lot of customer accounts by doing this. That means as well you might lose“Migrating passwords from your old store to Shopify/BigCommerce/any SaaS …” weiterlesen
