Your Shopware to Shopware Migration in Detail

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

  1. Connect Your Source Shopware Store

    Begin by selecting 'Shopware' as your Source Cart. You will then need to provide your Shopware store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. This involves downloading our bridge files, unpacking them, and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

It displays 'OpenCart' selected as the source store type, an input field for the OpenCart Admin URL, and the 'Provide Store Admin Access for Auto Upload' connection method selected with fields for Admin Login and Admin Password. The 'Next Step' button is highlighted in green.
  2. Connect Your Target Shopware Store

    Next, select 'Shopware' as your Target Cart. Similar to the source store, you'll provide the URL for your new Shopware store and connect via the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload). Uploading the bridge files ensures a secure and direct channel for data import into your new Shopware instance.

It shows the Shopify platform selected, prompts for store type selection, and includes a button to install the Cart2Cart app. The right sidebar provides detailed instructions for the migration process, specifically for Shopify users.
  3. Select Data Entities for Migration

    Once both stores are connected, you'll proceed to choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate. This includes essential data like products, customers, orders, and more. You have full control over what gets transferred to your new Shopware store.

  4. Configure Additional Migration Options

    Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These features allow you to preserve SEO URLs, migrate images from descriptions, clear target store data, and more, ensuring a tailored transfer that meets your specific needs.

A right sidebar shows a 'Get Assistance' button and an 'Instruction' box, offering contextual information. Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.
  5. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before launching the full transfer, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to your target Shopware store, enabling you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly.

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.
