Pixelfarben n8n – Shopware 6 Integration
Pixelfarben n8n (technical name: vlp8n) is a Shopware 6 plugin that
connects your shop to the workflow automation tool n8n. The
plugin sends products, customers and orders as JSON to freely
configurable n8n webhooks – either manually with the click of a button in the
Administration, or automatically via the Flow Builder.
What can the plugin do?
- 📦 Send products – transfer all products (optionally filtered by category) to an n8n webhook.
- 👤 Send customers – transfer all customers to an n8n webhook.
- 🧾 Send orders – transfer all orders to an n8n webhook.
- ⚙️ Flow actions – automatically post a single customer or order to a webhook from within a Shopware Flow.
All three manual functions are available as dedicated buttons directly inside the plugin configuration and display progress and status messages.
Use cases
- Mirror product data into an external system (CRM, PIM, ERP, marketplace).
- Feed new customers into a newsletter or CRM workflow automatically.
- Forward orders to accounting, fulfilment or a data warehouse.
- Trigger arbitrary n8n workflows from Shopware events.

How it works in a nutshell
Shopware (vlp8n) ──HTTP POST (JSON)──► n8n webhook ──► your workflow

(DAL), builds a JSON payload and sends it via HTTP POST with the header
Content-Type: application/json to the configured webhook URL.
