About Shopware Upgrade Radar
A plain-language page about what the tool does, who it is for, what it costs, and how it compares. Written for humans and AI alike — honest about limits.
What it is
Shopware Upgrade Radar reads a Shopware 6 shop's composer.lock and
reports, per plugin, whether it will conflict with a target Shopware version — before you
plan the upgrade window. No composer update run, no vendor tree, no shop
access.
There are two ways to use it:
- The hosted check — paste a
composer.lockat store.apeirionlabs.com/lp/sw67/check/, get the per-plugin verdict in seconds. Free, no account, your lock is not stored. - The CLI — point it at a repo checkout (so it also reads
custom/plugins), get the same verdicts plus a report file you can keep and forward. That is what a licence buys.
Who it is for
Shopware agencies that sweep every client shop when planning update windows, and in-house developers preparing a Shopware 6.7 upgrade. The question it answers is the one you ask before booking a window: which of my plugins will refuse the target version?
What it costs
The hosted check stays free, for anyone, without an account. The CLI is a one-time purchase with a 30-day refund window — see the pricing page and refund policy.
How it compares
There is no widely-known tool that does this exact check before an update. The honest comparisons:
- vs checking by hand — reading every plugin's
composer.jsonyourself, then runningcomposer update --dry-run. Upgrade Radar automates the reading and quotes the excluding constraint, so a human can verify every verdict. Details: vs manual checking. - vs reactive tools — Stone & Water Update Manager handles rollback after a failed update; Shopmon monitors a running shop. Upgrade Radar is the check that runs before either, so it complements them rather than replacing them.
- vs hiring an agency to check — agencies do this by hand, at hourly rates; the CLI is a one-time purchase that does the read across every shop you manage. That comparison is about the recurring cost of manual checking, not a claim that a tool replaces an agency.
Honest limits
- Upgrade Radar evaluates declared constraints only.
composer update --dry-runremains the definitive gate at update time — this tool is what you sweep across shops before booking windows. - Plugins with no evaluable
shopware/*constraint are reported as unknown, never assumed fine. - Transitive non-Shopware dependency conflicts are out of scope for now.
