## System requirements

| Component       | Requirement                                         |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Shopware        | 6.7.0.0 or newer                                    |
| PHP             | 8.2 or newer                                        |

| Theme           | Shopware default theme or themes inheriting from it |

## Sales channels

The plugin is activated **per sales channel**. In multi-channel shops you can therefore enable the blog only in the channels where you actually need it — and keep it completely off in others.

## Three versions
