# Shopware and its Features

# Discovering Shopware Features

Welcome to the Shopware exploration journey! You have been granted a test instance to delve into Shopware features. Begin by accessing your environment at [Shopware account](https://account.shopware.com).

This guide will walk you through the steps to access the Shopware Learning Environment.

## Accessing your Shopware Learning Environment

Shopware's new demo environment is designed to allow you to make practical experiences directly within our Learning Paths and provide a swift and straightforward entry point to give you an **interactive learning journey**. You can create your individual instance directly here:

<ShopdevInstance plugin="lp01" step="DoNotDisplay" />

This box will follow you through this learning path, so it is always available when you want to try out something you just learned. Additionally, you will get instant feedback if you configure the interactivity tasks correctly. We recommend opening two new tabs—one for the administration and one for the storefront.

It is based on the Shopware Rise Plan, so you can access the necessary functionalities we focus on. It is not meant to function as a live shop at any time and cannot be transitioned into a live environment. The environments are automatically deleted after completing the corresponding course, inactivity for more than 10 days, or if you click within the box on the button "destroy," but you will always have the opportunity to create a new one. If, at any time, you see technical difficulties, please report them to us.

You can begin exploring everything Shopware has to [offer](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-6-en/configuration). In the following units, you'll be introduced to all the features Shopware provides.
