Your CSV to Shopware Migration in 4 Simple Steps
-
1. Upload Your CSV Files
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV files containing your product, customer, and order data. Our wizard provides clear guidance on the required format to ensure a smooth import.
-
2. Connect Your Shopware Store
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 your Shopware store's root directory. This bridge facilitates secure data transfer between your CSV files and your new Shopware store.
-
3. Select Data Entities & Configure Options
Once connected, you'll see a list of data entities available for migration, such as products, customers, and orders. Select the specific data you wish to transfer. This is also where you can choose additional migration options to customize your migration, like preserving SEO URLs or migrating images embedded in descriptions.
You can review detailed field mapping to understand how your CSV data will translate to Shopware.
-
4. Run Free Demo & Start Full Migration
We highly recommend running a free Demo Migration first. This transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Shopware store, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything looks perfect before committing to a full transfer.
After you're satisfied with the demo, proceed to the Full Migration. Our system will then transfer all your selected data from the CSV files to your new Shopware store, keeping you updated on the progress in real-time.
