Reward products go by another name in Shopware 6.
Whoever wants to hand out gifts from a cart value often searches for reward products. The word is gone in Shopware 6, the thing is not: a reward group, rewards with their own threshold inside it, and a free product or a discount in the cart. What changed in the name and in substance is written down here.
Article became product.
Shopware 6 dropped the word article. With it the reward product disappeared, as a word only. On the left what people search for, on the right what it is called today.
| What people search for | In Shopware 6 and in this plugin |
|---|---|
| Reward product | reward for the entry, free product for what ends up in the cart |
| Free product, freebie | a reward of the type product |
| Bonus product, bonus gift, add-on | the same thing, said differently |
| Article | product; Shopware 6 no longer uses the word article |
| Article number | product number, shown in the cart as "Product number:" |
| Article variants | variants; the customer picks them in the tile |
| Reward tiers | several rewards in one group, each with its own threshold |

Four rewards in one group: that used to be four reward products with four tiers.
The reward group
The container. It carries the name the customer reads above the tiles, its position in the cart and optionally a Rule Builder rule that applies to every reward in it. Several groups run side by side.
The reward and its type
Type product means: a product from the catalogue, a real line item at €0.00 in the cart. Type discount means: a percentage or a fixed amount off the cart. There are no other types.
The threshold on every reward
The minimum cart value belongs to the individual reward, as a Shopware price field with gross and net, separate per currency. What counts is the goods value without the rewards.
Four things that did not exist in this form before.
The customer picks the variant
If the reward points to a parent product, the tile carries a select box with every active and available variant. Without a choice the gift cannot be added, so no order arrives without a size.
Stock and sales counter move along
A free product is a sale as far as Shopware is concerned. The gifted variant counts one more sale and its stock drops by one, while other variants stay unchanged.
A bar instead of an announcement
Above the tiles every tier of the group is a dot, below it the amount left until the next one. At a goods value of €495.95, for example, it says that €4.05 are missing to the €500 tier.
Rules from the Rule Builder
Customer group, date range, country, category: the conditions come from Shopware itself and sit either on the group or on a single reward. If the rule on a reward does not match, only its tile is missing.
