Your Step-by-Step Migration Journey from CSV File to Shopware
Cart2Cart simplifies your data migration to Shopware into a few clear steps:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by uploading your CSV data files directly to Cart2Cart. Our system is designed to read and process your structured data efficiently.
You'll use the 'Resources list' section to drag and drop or browse for your CSV files containing entities like products, categories, customers, and orders. Our system validates the file format and required headers to ensure readiness for migration.
-
Connect Your Target (Shopware Store)
Provide your Shopware store's URL and upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge enables our service to import your data directly into your new Shopware environment.
After selecting Shopware as your target platform, download the
connection_bridge.zip, unpack it, and upload thebridge2cartfolder to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data transfer. -
Select Data for Migration
Choose the specific entities you wish to transfer from your CSV files to Shopware. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, and more, with options to review field mapping for accuracy.
The 'Entities Selection' page allows you to pick exactly what data moves. You can also click the information icon ('i') next to each entity to see a detailed mapping of source CSV fields to target Shopware fields, ensuring everything aligns perfectly.
-
Configure Additional Options & Run Migration
Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating images from descriptions, or clearing existing data on your target store. Once configured, you can run a free demo migration to verify results before launching the full transfer.
The 'Additional Options' step offers powerful features to customize your migration. After a demo, review the migrated entities on the 'Demo Results Review' page to ensure everything is transferred as expected. If satisfied, proceed to 'Setup Full Migration'.

How long does a CSV to Shopware migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data in your CSV files and the complexity of your store. A free demo migration, transferring a limited number of entities, typically takes 15-30 minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process ensures the fastest possible transfer.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration in the background without affecting your live CSV data or your existing online store. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the process, ensuring zero downtime and no loss of sales. You only need to switch to your new Shopware store once the migration is complete and verified.
What data can I migrate from CSV to Shopware?
You can migrate a wide array of data, including Products, Product Categories, Product Reviews, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Coupons, CMS Pages, Stores, and Taxes. Our flexible mapping ensures your CSV data aligns correctly with Shopware's structure.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that transfers a limited set of your data to Shopware. This allows you to review the migrated entities, check data accuracy, and ensure everything looks perfect on your new platform before committing to a full migration. You can even use a Cart2Cart test store for the demo if your Shopware store isn't fully set up yet.
What if I need help during the migration process?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. You can reach out to our support team for assistance at any stage. For complex migrations or those requiring special customizations, consider our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) which include a dedicated account manager and technical engineers to handle the entire process for you.
Can I re-migrate data or undo the migration if needed?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans that allow for free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period after your full migration. This provides a safety net for any unforeseen issues or if new data appears on your source store after the initial transfer. You can choose to skip this insurance if you're confident in your data and setup.
How do I connect my CSV file for migration?
Connecting your CSV file is straightforward. In the Cart2Cart wizard, during the source store setup, you will be prompted to upload your CSV files directly. Our system will then read the data from these files for migration.
How do I connect my Shopware store for data import?
To connect your Shopware target store, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files. This involves downloading a .zip archive from our wizard, unpacking it, and then uploading the bridge2cart folder to your Shopware store's root directory via an FTP/SFTP client.

This app performs greatly
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.
