Your Step-by-Step Migration to Shopware
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these simple steps to move your e-commerce data from a CSV file to your new Shopware store:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File):
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV file(s) containing your store data. Our system will analyze your file structure to prepare for mapping.
-
Connect Your Target (Shopware):
Next, choose "Shopware" as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to the root directory of your Shopware installation. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration:
On the "Entities Selection" page, specify exactly which data types you wish to migrate from your CSV file to Shopware. This includes products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review how your CSV fields will map to Shopware's data structure.
-
Configure Additional Options:
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These features allow you to fine-tune the data transfer, such as migrating images embedded in descriptions, preserving order IDs, creating 301 redirects, and more, ensuring a tailored migration experience.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration:
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend performing a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your Shopware store, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly.
-
