PriceGuard for Shopware 6.
Catch pricing errors.
PriceGuard is my price protection plugin for Shopware 6.7. Monitor or block product price changes that break your rules: zero prices, excessive reductions, prices below purchase cost and margins below your limit. The checks cover manual edits, imports and ERP/PIM updates through Shopware.
Expected release: September/October 2026
PRICE CHANGE / EXAMPLE

Price protection for your Shopware catalogue
Protect selling prices and margins
Set a minimum selling price, compare with purchase costs and define the minimum margin your business needs.
Start with visibility
Monitor first, review the results, then switch to Block mode when your rules are right for your shop.
FIVE PRICE PROTECTION RULES
Five rules for product prices and margins
Choose which rules to enable and set their limits. A price change can trigger more than one rule; PriceGuard shows the relevant reasons together.
Maximum Price Decrease
Flag or block a reduction that exceeds your percentage limit. With a 50% limit, €100 → €50 is allowed; €100 → €40 is a violation. Increases do not trigger this rule.
Minimum Selling Price
Set a floor for the gross selling price. A minimum of €1.00 catches a price of €0.49. The threshold is set in your system currency and converted for other currencies.
Zero Price Protection
Catch gross or net prices that are zero or negative before an accidental free product reaches customers in Block mode.
Purchase Price Protection
Check that the net selling price is not lower than a positive net purchase price in the same currency. If a meaningful purchase price is missing, this comparison is skipped.
Minimum Margin Protection
Set the minimum margin you need. A net selling price of €100 and net purchase price of €80 gives a 20% margin. A required margin of 25% flags or blocks that price.
A SAFE START
Monitor first.
Block when ready.
Installation starts with PriceGuard enabled in Monitor mode. Your ERP or PIM updates can continue while you see which price changes would break your rules.
Monitor
Allow the price change and record the violation. Use the dashboard and history to understand your normal updates and adjust your limits.
Block
Reject a violating change before it is saved, with a clear explanation. A rejected bulk operation follows Shopware’s transaction boundaries; one invalid price can reject a batch.
For a deliberate clearance price, save a product exclusion with a reason before changing the price. Restore protection when the exception is no longer needed.
PriceGuard in the Shopware Administration
A familiar Shopware Administration interface: your protection status, recent violations and rules in one place. These previews use example data and the English interface; PriceGuard also includes German.
WHERE MISTAKES HAPPEN
Check prices from imports, bulk edits and ERP updates
Administration & bulk edits
A manual decimal error or an unintended bulk discount can affect one product or a whole range. The same configured price checks apply.
Imports & pricing feeds
Review suspicious price imports in Monitor mode, or reject violating writes in Block mode. PriceGuard checks changes as Shopware receives them.
ERP, PIM & API integrations
Use the same price limits for connected systems that save through Shopware’s standard interfaces. Integrations do not receive an automatic bypass.
BLACK FRIDAY / BLACK WEEK
Protect your Black Friday price changes
Black Friday and Black Week often mean updating thousands of prices at once. PriceGuard helps identify extreme discounts, zero prices, prices below purchase cost and margins below your limits. Start monitoring ahead of the campaign so you can review the results before enabling blocking.
The same protection is useful all year for supplier updates, clearance stock and routine ERP synchronizations. Promotional discounts and voucher calculations are outside the product-price checks.
Built around Shopware’s product prices
Currencies, tax and variants
PriceGuard handles standard prices, currency prices, parent products and variants. Inherited values are resolved before comparison. Purchase price and margin checks compare net with net in the same currency.
Advanced Prices
Rule-based prices and quantity tiers receive the applicable minimum price, zero price, purchase cost and margin checks. A percentage decrease is compared only when the same tier has an unambiguous previous price.
History you can act on
Filter violations by product, product number, rule, result, date or currency. Review previous and attempted prices, the reason and whether the change was blocked or monitored. History is retained for 180 days.
Margin, not markup
Margin = ((net selling price − net purchase price) / net selling price) × 100
Selling at €100 with a purchase cost of €80 gives a 20% margin. Missing or non-positive purchase costs are skipped; they are not treated as zero.
Prepare your first protected price import
When PriceGuard becomes available, start with a controlled import before enabling blocking for your daily updates.
- Choose representative products, including variants and any currencies or Advanced Prices used by your integration.
- Use Monitor mode to review which updates would trigger a rule. Check your purchase costs before relying on purchase price or margin protection.
- Set limits for your catalogue and add documented exclusions for intentional clearance prices. Include variants separately when needed.
- Test Block mode in a staging shop. Confirm how your importer reports a rejected batch and how to correct and retry it.
PRICEGUARD QUESTIONS
PriceGuard: compatibility, imports and exclusions
What is PriceGuard for Shopware 6?
PriceGuard is a plugin for self-hosted Shopware 6.7 that checks product price changes against five configurable rules. Monitor mode records violations; Block mode rejects changes that break the enabled rules. It checks supported Shopware writes from the Administration, imports and API integrations.
When will PriceGuard be available?
The PriceGuard preview has been approved and is now listed as a coming plugin in the Shopware Store. It is not yet available to install. Release is expected in September/October 2026, subject to final approval.
Which Shopware versions will it support?
Version 1.0.0 targets Shopware 6.7, starting with 6.7.0. It is a PHP plugin for self-hosted Shopware, with an English and German interface. It is not a Shopware SaaS app and does not target Shopware 6.6 or 6.8.
Will installation stop my imports?
PriceGuard starts in Monitor mode. Violations are recorded while price changes remain allowed. Blocking only starts when you select Block mode. Switching the plugin off stops validation and keeps the existing history.
Can I deliberately sell a product at a deep discount?
Yes. Exclude the specific product with a reason before changing its price. An exclusion does not automatically apply to its variants, so include any variants that need the same exception.
Does it protect prices from my ERP or PIM?
It validates supported product-price writes through Shopware, including standard API integrations and imports. A connector that writes directly to the database is outside this protection.
Will it change my storefront or checkout prices?
PriceGuard does not calculate new prices, rewrite your catalogue or change cart and checkout calculations. It checks future product-price changes. Promotions, voucher discounts, list prices and regulation prices are outside its validation scope.
