Why Distributors Use DDS to Power Shopware Stores
Shopware gives distributors enterprise B2B capability, open-source flexibility, and full control of their stack. But a powerful storefront is only as good as the product data inside it. DDS automates the most time-consuming and error-prone parts of building and maintaining your catalog, so your Shopware investment pays off faster.
The Result:
You get a Shopware store that’s always accurate, enriched, and ready to sell—powered by manufacturer-approved product data and AI-built listings that update automatically.

- Built for B2B
Complete, structured product data gives Shopware’s B2B features—quick order, customer-specific catalogs, and search and filtering—the content they need to perform.
Is this a PIM or a content feed?
It’s your delivery layer—it works with or without a PIM. Use Acadia’s built-in PIM-like tools to centralize and govern content, or keep your existing PIM and let Acadia handle the delivery automation.
What is AI Product Creation?
AI Product Creation builds complete, structured product listings—names, descriptions, attributes, and specifications—for products in any category. It fills gaps where manufacturer content is incomplete or unavailable, so every product you sell can go live with a full listing.
How fast are updates?
You can schedule regular syncs and trigger near real-time pushes from the Acadia app.
What fields sync to Shopware?
Product names, descriptions, images, media, documents, specifications, and attributes are mapped to the matching fields in your Shopware product records. New products can be created as inactive until you're ready to publish.
Do I need developers to install it?
No—install Acadia by DDS from the Shopware Store and connect your account in minutes.
Will Acadia replace my existing systems?
No. Acadia replaces manual content work, not your core systems. It integrates with your ERP, PIM, and Shopware—no rip-and-replace and no disruption to the tools your team relies on.
How do I connect my Shopware store to a product content platform?
Install Acadia by DDS from the Shopware Store, connect your account, and select the manufacturers you buy from. Acadia then delivers manufacturer-approved images, specs, and documents into your store.
What is the best way to onboard vendor catalogs as a distributor?
Choose from 2,160+ pre-integrated manufacturer brands inside Acadia instead of requesting and formatting files one supplier at a time. One of North America's largest distributors used DDS to cut onboarding from 30 days to 3.
As a manufacturer, how does my product content reach distributors on Shopware?
Manufacturers approve content once through DDS. DDS normalizes and syndicates it to every connected distributor storefront, including Shopware stores running Acadia, so the same approved content shows up everywhere without submitting it channel by channel.
