Shop plugin for WordPress · Made in Hamburg
Shopventa turns WordPress into an online shop where the withdrawal button, manufacturer details, OSS VAT rates and e-invoices don't need retrofitting. They're simply there – from your first product.
Automatic. No extra plugins.
Why Shopventa
Start a European shop with a classic shop plugin and you'll soon add a legal-texts pack, payment add-ons, a shipping tool, a subscriptions extension, a wishlist and a loyalty program – each with its own update cycle and its own invoice. Shopventa ships all of it as one system.
Free covers legally sound day-to-day selling. Pro unlocks the rest with one licence key – every module can be switched on and off on its own.

Features
From product page to bookkeeping. Anything tagged Free costs nothing – for good.
A setup wizard asks for your legal form, industry and payment methods and creates the legal pages from that. A compliance score on the dashboard shows what's still missing.
The right VAT rate for every EU country, verified VAT IDs for business customers and invoices that public-sector buyers accept.
Customers sign in to your shop – not to WordPress. No backend user, no role, no way into wp-admin.
The product filter updates without a page reload. The heart on every product card saves items – even without an account.
E-books, templates, music: files are stored protected and released only after payment.
Stripe, PayPal and Mollie built in – including Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA and Klarna via the providers.
Coffee every month, software every year: term, interval and minimum term per product.
Customers add your shop to their home screen with one tap – with its own icon and offline page.
Variants with colour swatches and their own stock, an image gallery with zoom and full screen, sold-out sizes clearly marked.
Set brand colour, font, corner radius, card style and image ratio – Shopventa adapts to your theme.
Compliance check · Free
The dashboard checks your shop against the obligations that apply in Germany and the EU. Open items come first, and each one takes you straight to the right setting.
✓Every order also stores the exact wording of your terms and withdrawal policy at the time of purchase – in case of a dispute later.
Cart & checkout · Free
Change quantities, remove items, redeem a coupon – all without reloading. Returning customers find their cart where they left it.

Pro modules
Switch each module on individually under Pro → Settings. A module that's off loads no code and adds no menu item.
Backend
Shopventa brings its own pages to the WordPress admin – fast, with no ad banners and no upsell notices. Click an image to see it full size.
Shipping hub · Pro
Select all paid orders and click “Create labels” – Shopventa works out the weight, fetches the DHL labels, prints packing slips and sends the tracking link. The shop checks the shipment status every hour by itself.
Customers can create return labels themselves if you allow it. Hermes is connected in beta.
Mobile
Large tap targets, search at the top, filters in a collapsible panel. Images load at the right size, and checkout fits under one thumb.
Who it’s for
From a side business to an agency with twenty client shops – Shopventa grows with you, no system change required.
Coffee, cosmetics, clothing: unit prices, variants with their own stock, DHL labels and subscriptions for repeat buyers.
E-books, courses, templates: protected downloads after payment, with proof for the right of withdrawal.
Live VAT ID checks, reverse charge, XRechnung e-invoices, quote requests and catalogue mode for guests only.
One agency key for unlimited client shops, templates you can override in the theme, one point of contact.

FAQ
Straight after payment, the confirmation page shows your licence key, and it arrives by email too. Paste it into WordPress under Shopventa → Pro → Licence. It takes less than a minute.
The key is valid until the end of the paid period plus five days. Shortly before that, your shop fetches a renewed key from shopventa.de once a day. Only the licence ID, the key and your domain are sent – no shop data.
Open your customer account, choose “Manage subscription” and click “Cancel” in the Stripe customer portal. Pro keeps working until the end of the paid period. You can also switch between monthly and yearly there or download invoices.
The plugin's admin and shop texts are currently written in German, the market Shopventa was built for first. All shop texts can be translated with standard WordPress translation tools; a full English translation is planned.
No. Shopventa provides the technical features the law requires and creates templates for your legal texts. Adapt them to your business and have them checked by a lawyer or a trade association if you're unsure.
WordPress 6.4 or newer with PHP 8.1 or newer and an SSL certificate (https). Shopventa works with common themes and brings its own pages for cart, checkout, customer account, orders and tracking.
No. Customer accounts are completely separate from WordPress: their own table, their own login, their own session. Customers never see the WordPress backend and don't appear in the user list.
Shopventa runs independently of WooCommerce and can be installed alongside it. A product import wizard is in the works; until then our support helps you move.
Only in your WordPress database. Shopventa does not send shop data to us.
Your shop keeps selling with all free features. Pro features such as Stripe, DHL labels or loyalty points pause until you subscribe again. Orders, points, gift cards and vendor data stay saved.
Pro is sold to businesses – anyone running a shop as a trade or profession. Anyone can use the free plugin.
Yes. Shopventa takes your brand colour, font and corner radius from the design settings and adapts to common themes. If you want more, override individual templates under yourtheme/shopventa/ or build your own layouts with shortcodes such as [shopventa_shop].
Shopventa itself only sets one signed, strictly necessary cookie for the cart, loads no external fonts or scripts and doesn’t track. Whether you need a banner depends on your other plugins and services.
Not below €10,000 a year in sales to consumers in other EU countries – your home VAT rate applies until then. The dashboard shows how close you are to the threshold. Above it, Pro calculates the rates for all 27 countries and prepares the OSS return.
Yes, even with Free: Shopventa treats deliveries there as tax-free exports and shows this on the invoice. Customs and import duties in the destination country are handled according to your shipping terms.
They stay in the database, because you have to keep orders and invoices for eight to ten years. If you really want everything removed, set define('SHOPVENTA_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true); in wp-config.php.
Download the plugin, upload it to WordPress, click through the setup wizard – it creates your legal pages from your answers.
