CMS Block Builder
Build custom CMS blocks visually — no coding required.
CMS Block Builder lets Shopware merchants compose their own reusable CMS blocks by arranging existing CMS elements into flexible grid layouts. Instead of filing tickets with a developer every time you need a new block layout, you design it yourself in the Shopware admin and it is immediately available in the Shopping Experiences (Erlebniswelten) editor.
- Version: 4.0.0
- Shopware compatibility: ~6.7.0
- Manufacturer: SSD Digital — ssd-digital.io
What it does
The plugin adds a CMS Block Builder module to the admin (under Content). From there you:
- Open the Block Composer and draw rectangular areas on a 12-column CSS Grid canvas.
- Assign a standard Shopware CMS element (text, image, product slider, …) to each area.
- Set independent layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Save the block with a name and category.
The block is now available in the CMS block picker alongside Shopware's built-in blocks. Place it on any Shopping Experiences page just like any other block.
Who it is for
Content editors, marketing managers, and shop owners who manage storefront pages but do not write code. If you can use the Shopware Shopping Experiences editor, you can build a custom block.
