Your Shopware to CSV Export Process Explained
Migrating your Shopware data to CSV files with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Connect Your Shopware Source Store
Begin by selecting Shopware as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will need to provide your Shopware store's URL and establish a secure connection. For Shopware, the recommended method is typically via the Cart2Cart Bridge. You'll download a bridge file, unpack it, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This creates a secure link for data extraction. -
Configure CSV Export & Download
Since your target is a CSV file, there's no 'target store' to connect in the traditional sense. Instead, Cart2Cart will process your Shopware data and prepare it for export into CSV files. You will specify that you want the output as CSV. Once the migration process is complete, you will be provided with links to download your generated CSV files directly from your Cart2Cart account.
-
Select Data Entities for Export
In this crucial step, you choose exactly which types of data (entities) you wish to export from your Shopware store. Cart2Cart presents a clear list of available entities, such as Products, Customers, Orders, and more. Simply check the boxes next to the data you need to include in your CSV files. You can also review detailed field mappings to understand how your Shopware data will translate into the CSV format.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Enhance your data export by selecting various additional options. These features allow for fine-tuning how your Shopware data is processed before being written to CSV. Options might include concatenating short and full descriptions, migrating images from descriptions, or adjusting product quantities. Choose the options that best suit your data export needs.
-
Run Demo & Full Data Export
Before committing to a full export, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your Shopware data to CSV, allowing you to review the file structure and data accuracy. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the full data export. Cart2Cart will then process all your selected Shopware data and provide the complete CSV files for download.

What is a Shopware to CSV migration?
A Shopware to CSV migration, facilitated by Cart2Cart, is the process of extracting your e-commerce data (products, customers, orders, etc.) from your existing Shopware store and converting it into universally compatible CSV (Comma Separated Values) files for download. This allows for flexible data management, backups, or preparation for import into another system.
How long does a Shopware to CSV export take?
The duration of a Shopware to CSV export depends on the volume of data in your store. A free demo export typically takes 15-30 minutes. A full export can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process ensures efficiency, and you can monitor progress in real-time.
What data can I export from Shopware to CSV?
You can export a wide range of entities, including CMS Pages, Coupons, Customer Groups, Customers, Manufacturers, Orders, Orders Status, Product Categories, Product Reviews, Products, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard allows you to select precisely which data types you need.
Can I try a demo export to CSV before committing?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to export a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) from your Shopware store to CSV files. You can then download and review these files to ensure data accuracy and format before proceeding with a full export.
Is my data secure during the export process?
Absolutely. Cart2Cart employs robust security measures, including HTTPS encryption and unique security tokens for bridge connections, to ensure your data is safe during the entire export process. We prioritize data integrity and confidentiality.
