Merchants upgrading to version 13.6.3 should review their existing payment configurations and ensure that their checkout setup reflects the currently supported payment methods. ## About Shopware 6: A Flexible E-commerce Platform Shopware 6 is a modular e-commerce platform designed to support businesses ranging from growing online retailers to large enterprise commerce operations.

Novalnet's payment integration is designed to support payment processing through its payment infrastructure, reducing the need for merchants to directly handle sensitive payment card information when using an appropriately configured integration. The payment module is promoted as offering a solution that does not require merchants to obtain their own PCI DSS certification solely because they use the integration. However, merchants should not interpret this as a blanket exemption from PCI DSS requirements. The applicable PCI DSS scope and validation obligations depend on the actual payment integration, cardholder data flows, merchant systems, and the relevant acquiring and compliance requirements. Merchants should confirm their applicable PCI DSS responsibilities with their acquirer or qualified security assessor. ## How to Download the Novalnet Payment Plugin for Shopware 6 The latest plugin release is available through the official Shopware Store and the Novalnet GitHub repository. **Plugin package:** `shopware_6.7.0.0-6.7.5.1_novalnet_13.6.3.zip` **Compatibility:** Shopware 6.7.0.0 – 6.7.5.1 **Release version:** Novalnet 13.6.3 **Official download and reference links:** - **Shopware Store:** [https://store.shopware.com/en/noval29035660349/novalnet-payments-for-shopware-6.html]() - **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/Novalnet-AG/shopware-6-payment-integration-novalnet]() The GitHub repository also contains the release changelog and related integration resources.
