# Pre Requisites

For the SEO Tools to run smoothly, your environment should meet the following requirements:

## Shopware

* **Shopware 6.7.0.0** or newer
* An active **storefront sales channel** with at least one configured domain (only then can URLs, sitemaps and redirects be generated meaningfully)

## Server

* **PHP 8.2** or newer
* A running **message queue worker** (`messenger:consume`). Shopware usually ships this already. It matters because heavy actions – sitemap generation, bulk updates, image scan, link check – run in the background via the queue. Without an active worker these jobs start but are never processed.
* Outgoing **HTTPS connections**, if you want to use the premium add-ons AI meta suggestions or Google Search Console.

## Optional for individual premium features

* **AI meta suggestions:** an API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI or an OpenAI-compatible service.
* **Google Search Console:** a Google Cloud project with OAuth credentials (client ID and secret) plus a verified property in the Search Console.

How to set up these connections is described in the respective chapters.

## Administration permissions

After installation, dedicated permissions are available (role **"SEO Tools"** with the levels View, Edit, Create, Delete). If you work with restricted admin users, assign them these permissions under **Settings → Users & permissions → Roles**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.premsoft.de/en/plugins/seo-tools/pre-requisites.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
