Pimcore vs Pushwoosh: at a glance
What is Pimcore?
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
What is Pushwoosh?
Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message
The dated August batch gave SMS and WhatsApp the send events and standalone send path email already had, and let journeys consume webhook response data mid-run. A larger undated wave has landed since, and it points somewhere else: Shopify storefront event tracking pulls product views, add-to-cart and checkout steps in through the theme embed, YML joins the Product Catalog feed formats, and per-product clicks and revenue now appear in email statistics. Journey logic also grew more relative, with Condition split able to compare two attributes on the same user and to filter dates by days ago or ahead.

Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
◆ Current state
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.

Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message
◆ Current state
The dated August batch gave SMS and WhatsApp the send events and standalone send path email already had, and let journeys consume webhook response data mid-run. A larger undated wave has landed since, and it points somewhere else: Shopify storefront event tracking pulls product views, add-to-cart and checkout steps in through the theme embed, YML joins the Product Catalog feed formats, and per-product clicks and revenue now appear in email statistics. Journey logic also grew more relative, with Condition split able to compare two attributes on the same user and to filter dates by days ago or ahead.
◆ Where it's heading
Two projects are converging. The channel-parity work is close to finished, with SMS and WhatsApp now carrying the events, standalone sends and attribution that email had. The newer and more consequential one is commerce: having added a Product Catalog, Pushwoosh is now collecting the storefront behaviour that catalog is meant to act on and reporting revenue back per product. That gives it the ingest, the data and the measurement for the commerce loop rather than only the send step in the middle of it. Journey conditions are meanwhile shifting from fixed comparisons toward per-user relative ones.
◆ Prediction
With storefront events arriving and catalog data in place, triggered abandoned-cart and browse-abandonment journeys built on those events are the obvious next assembly. Expect the Shopify path to be generalised to other storefronts, since the catalog feed formats already are.
