The update to Shopware 6.6 comes with some major changes. To ensure a smooth update of your Pickware extensions, please be sure to follow the steps in our Update Guide.

If you have questions or run into problems during the update process or afterwards, you can contact our support.

You update Shopware one major version at a time: from the last 6.4 version to 6.5, from the last 6.5 version to 6.6, and from Shopware 6.6.10.8 to 6.7. There are separate articles for the other steps: What do I need to consider when updating to Shopware 6.5? and What do I need to consider when updating to Shopware 6.7?.

If you use the extension Gutscheine, Kaufgutscheine & Coupons - EasyCoupon by Net Inventors together with Pickware POS, please note that this extension is not yet compatible with Shopware 6.6. Therefore, hold off on the Shopware update if you rely on these features in your day-to-day business.

Before you install any updates, you should always create a backup of your data.

As part of the Shopware update, all extensions must be deactivated. A corresponding prompt also appears during the update process, which lets you deactivate all extensions at once.

To avoid error messages, deactivate the Pickware extensions manually beforehand. If you use the individual extensions Pickware POS, Pickware WMS and Pickware ERP Pro, deactivate these first so that you can then deactivate Pickware ERP.
If you use Pickware ERP, WMS & POS instead of the individual extensions, you can deactivate it directly.

You can deactivate the extensions under Extensions → My extensions using the checkboxes on the left.

Now you can start the Shopware Updater. The updater guides you through the process.

If you are still using Shopware 6.4.x, you cannot update directly to Shopware 6.6.x. If you haven't already, you must first update to the latest 6.5 version of Shopware. Only after that is an update to version 6.6.x possible. You can also find all information about the update to Shopware 6.5 and Pickware here in the helpcenter.

Please follow the guides below from the Shopware documentation:

Below you will find two special points regarding the update to Shopware 6.6.

Since Pickware WMS and Pickware POS are obtained via the Pickware Account, Shopware cannot check these extensions for compatibility. The updater will therefore display a corresponding notice. You can find all information on the compatibility of WMS and POS with the Shopware versions in the Pickware Account.

During the update, a prompt to deactivate your extensions also appears. Be sure to select the option Deactivate all extensions here. If you have not deactivated WMS, POS and/or ERP Pro beforehand as described above, an error message may appear. In this case, deactivate the extensions mentioned manually and try again.

After updating Shopware to version 6.6.x, all Pickware extensions must be updated. To avoid errors, be sure to complete all updates first, without activating the extensions.

The current update for WMS or POS can be downloaded in the Pickware Account. Make sure that you select a version that is compatible with Shopware 6.6. You can then update the extensions the usual way.

Once Pickware ERP, Pickware WMS and Pickware POS have been updated to the latest version, activate ERP first and only then WMS, POS and ERP Pro.
