Remote Extension Management

Shopware CLI provides a CLI wrapper around Shopware's built-in extension management commands. It lets you install, manage, and control extensions in your Shopware project through the Shopware API—with the same capabilities as the Extension Manager in the Shopware 6 Administration panel, but automation-friendly from the CLI.

This is one of the most commonly used command families in Shopware CLI, especially with Shopware SaaS customers who use it to automate extension uploads and lifecycle management directly to their hosted shops without needing the Admin UI.

INFO

This functionality was designed for Shopware SaaS and should not be used for self-hosted installations. The recommendation is to use the Deployment Helper and install all plugins via Composer

To use the extension manager, you need a .shopware-project.yml or set environment variables. See here for more information about the Fixture Bundle.

WARNING

Make sure you log in using your username and password to the CLI. The extension API can be used only by users.
