In October 2024, the team delivered two focused improvements across Shopware repositories that improve reliability, accessibility, and user experience. In SwagPayPal, a resilience fix for PayPal API unavailability was implemented, introducing user-facing error messages in English and German and updating the API client to throw a specific exception when PayPal is inaccessible.
