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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
