Manufacturer

You will find an overview of the already created manufacturers here.
In the overview, the most important information about the individual manufacturers is displayed directly.
In addition you have the possibility to adjust the sorting of the table (ascending and descending) by clicking on the respective column heading.
 

On the right side of each line you can use the button "..." to open the context menu for the respective manufacturer.
This menu offers you further options:

Edit
Opens the editing view for the manufacturer..
Duplicate
Creates a copy of the manufacturer with the stored data.
Delete
Click here to delete the manufacturer.
Note, however, that the manufacturer can only be deleted if it is not assigned to any product.

Add a new manufacturer

You can add a new manufacturer via "Add manufacturer".
A click on the button opens the corresponding mask for adding a new vendor.
 

The only mandatory information for the creation of a manufacturer is the name.

In addition, you can link to the website and store the company logo.
It is also possible to add a description text for the manufacturer's page to provide customers with additional information about the manufacturer.

The description can also be output via twig variables in the storefront. You can find more information on this in this article.

Manufacturer search in storefront

If you have created one or more manufacturers in the admin and maintained them with the corresponding information, you can see them in the top right-hand corner of the product detail page for the products for which you have entered a manufacturer. There you can see the name of the manufacturer, or alternatively the logo, provided you have uploaded this to the manufacturer in the admin.
If the manufacturer has a website (link), the name or logo can be clicked on the product detail page.

Create manufacturer page

There is no manufacturer page as in Shopware 5 in the classic sense. However, an alternative way to realize this is as follows.

First, a landing page is required in the experience worlds, which can be created as desired. You can find more information on this in this article.

In order to be able to use the created experience world, a landing page is now created under Catalogs > Categories. You can find more information on this in this article.

In the landing page, the corresponding mandatory fields must be filled in, especially for the SEO URL, note that this will be the URL under which the manufacturer's page can be reached. In the example, shopwareag is entered as the SEO URL. Preview: https://www.dein-shop.de/shopwareag

The previously created experience world for the manufacturer is then added in the second Layout tab.

Once the framework is in place, the previously defined SEO URL must be saved as a website for the desired manufacturer under Catalogs > Manufacturers. It is important to put a slash in front of it. Example: /shopwareag
