Project Overview<\/h2>\n

The client needed a Shopware 6 plugin<\/strong> to handle complex product availability rules
\nbased on different customer types. Since product shipping and ordering rules varied by
\ndomestic B2C, domestic B2B, international B2C, and international B2B<\/em> customers,
\nthe project demanded precise logic, flexibility, and seamless integration into the Shopware environment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Key Challenges<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Restrict frozen goods (e.g., frozen sausages) to domestic B2B<\/strong> customers due to special transportation requirements.<\/li>\n
  • Allow in-store pickup<\/strong> for restricted items, regardless of customer type.<\/li>\n
  • Restrict large-sized products (over 1m x 1m) to B2B customers only<\/strong>, both domestic and international.<\/li>\n
  • Display customizable messages on the product card, explaining availability restrictions.<\/li>\n
  • Validate cart contents against shipping methods to prevent mismatched orders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
    \n

    Our Approach<\/h2>\n

    CNeL India developed a robust and scalable Shopware plugin that addressed every client requirement.
    \nThe solution was designed to be user-friendly for admins<\/strong> and intuitive for customers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Created and mapped the four customer groups inside Shopware.<\/li>\n
    • Added a custom product field (e.g., \u201cFrozen Product\u201d flag) for flexible assignment.<\/li>\n
    • Developed logic to:\n
        \n
      • Allow or restrict purchases based on customer type.<\/li>\n
      • Enable in-store pickup for restricted products.<\/li>\n
      • Show editable product-specific messages with custom background colors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Implemented cart validation logic to match products with shipping methods.<\/li>\n
      • Integrated clear, user-facing messages to prevent confusion during checkout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
        \n
