Your CSV to Shopware Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to Shopware with Cart2Cart involves a few straightforward steps, designed for accuracy and ease.
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Platform. You will then upload your prepared CSV files containing your product, customer, and order data directly to the Cart2Cart migration wizard. Ensure your CSV is well-structured for optimal data recognition.
-
Connect Your Target (Shopware)
Next, choose 'Shopware' as your Target Platform. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to the root directory of your Shopware store. This bridge acts as a secure gateway, enabling Cart2Cart to import your data efficiently.
-
Select Data Entities & Map Fields
Once connected, the wizard will display a list of data entities available for migration, such as Products, Customers, and Orders. You can select which entities you wish to transfer. For CSV migrations, Cart2Cart provides smart default mapping, and you'll have the opportunity to review and customize field mapping to ensure your data lands in the correct Shopware fields.
-
Configure Additional Options
Enhance your migration by choosing from a range of additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating images embedded in descriptions, clearing existing data on your target Shopware store, and more. These options allow for a highly customized and comprehensive data transfer.
-
Run Demo & Full Migration
Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of your data to Shopware, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration, transferring all your selected data to your new Shopware store.

Can I perform a test migration before the full one?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your Shopware store. This allows you to thoroughly check the migration results and ensure everything is to your satisfaction before proceeding with a Full Migration.
What are the connection methods for Shopware?

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
