# About plugins

There are several plugins to connect Ergonode PIM to your E-commerce. Most of them offer basic communication, but as we offer them for free with an open-source license, you are more than welcome to change them to your liking. Plugins that are available to use with:

* [Magento 2](/plugins/disclaimer-statement/magento-2-new-plugin.md)
* [PrestaShop](/plugins/disclaimer-statement/prestashop.md)
* [Shopware](/plugins/disclaimer-statement/shopware.md)
* [WooCommerce](/plugins/disclaimer-statement/woocommerce.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
The communication between a plugin and E-commerce is one-sided from Ergonode to E-commerce.
{% endhint %}

We are constantly improving our software, so please check from time to time to see if there are any new plugins available.&#x20;

In contrast to plugins that are open-source, we also offer so-called apps, which you may read about a bit more [here](/apps/about-apps-feature.md).

The main difference between an app and a plugin is that apps are proprietary software; their license will not allow for making any changes to them, any updates are seamless for a user, as it's done by us, and are implemented inside the Ergonode PIM interface, while plugins need to be installed on the E-commerce side and updated by the user.
