Connect Shopware and SolidWorks

Connecting Shopware and SolidWorks for a company could enable the transfer of product design data into the e-commerce platform, supporting more accurate product listings and updates. Such a connection could also improve coordination between engineering and sales teams by allowing product specifications and changes to be reflected in the online store.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Shopware and SolidWorks around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Shopware and SolidWorks?

A company that uses both Shopware and SolidWorks could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable data exchange between e-commerce operations and product design. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same product data, specifications, or updates in both systems separately. This could lead to inconsistencies, with product details in Shopware drifting out of sync with the latest designs in SolidWorks. Such misalignment can result in incorrect product information being displayed to customers, errors in order fulfillment, or decisions being made based on outdated design data. Duplicate data entry also increases the risk of human error and consumes valuable time that could be better spent on higher-value tasks. Data commonly exchanged between systems of these types could include product specifications, bill of materials, technical drawings, and updated design attributes. The exact nature of what can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined on a case-by-case basis.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Shopware and SolidWorks make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
