Product picker modal
Shopware’s default product picker is an inline search-as-you-type field — fast for shops with small catalogs, awkward for shops with thousands of variants. The plugin ships an optional replacement: a modal product picker with image previews, variant selection, and editable quantity / price / tax fields per pick.
Enable it
Section titled “Enable it”Two independent switches in Settings → Plugins → Packing Slips → Order Creation:
- Use product picker modal in order creation — replaces the picker on the Add Order screen.
- Use product picker modal in order detail — replaces the picker in the Items section of an existing order.
Both default to off. You can enable either, or both.
What changes
Section titled “What changes”When enabled, clicking the Add product action opens a modal instead of expanding an inline search field. The modal:
- Lists products with their cover image, name, product number, and price.
- Supports search-as-you-type on name, product number, EAN and manufacturer number.
- Lets you expand a master product to pick a specific variant.
- Surfaces quantity, unit price and tax rate as editable fields at pick time, so the picker doesn’t have to add the row and then edit it.
- Confirms the pick on a primary button — clean, deterministic, no inline-edit accident.
Why use it
Section titled “Why use it”- Much easier to scan-then-adjust: scan, the row lands in the modal with the right product, you set the quantity and confirm.
- Reduces the “I accidentally added 100 instead of 10” problem with inline editing.
- Visual product preview reduces wrong-SKU picks at the counter.
Interaction with the scanner
Section titled “Interaction with the scanner”If the EAN barcode scanner is also enabled for order creation, scans bypass the picker modal entirely — the line is added directly. The picker modal is for the case where you don’t know the EAN and want to search visually.
