Your CSV to Shopware Migration in Detail
Cart2Cart simplifies the migration from CSV to Shopware into a few easy steps:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart. You will then upload your CSV files containing your store data. Our wizard will guide you through mapping the fields from your CSV to the corresponding fields in your new Shopware store.
-
Connect Your Target (Shopware Store)
Next, choose 'Shopware' as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once connected, you'll be presented with a list of data entities that can be migrated. Select the specific data types you wish to transfer, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also review how individual fields will be mapped between your CSV and Shopware.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating images from descriptions, clearing current data on the target store, and more, ensuring a tailored transfer to meet your specific needs.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
We highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities (up to 20) to your Shopware store, allowing you to preview the results and verify data accuracy before committing to a full migration.
-
Launch Your Full Migration
After reviewing and being satisfied with your demo results, proceed to launch the full data migration. Our service will then transfer all your selected data from your CSV files to your new Shopware store securely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to Shopware Migration
How long does a CSV to Shopware migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data you're transferring. A free demo migration typically takes 15-30 minutes.

Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, your source store will remain fully operational during the entire migration process, ensuring no disruption to your sales. Minimal downtime might be required for your Shopware store during the final stages of data import, but this is typically very short and can be scheduled during off-peak hours.

Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that transfers a limited number of entities (up to 20) to a Cart2Cart test store or your actual Shopware store. This allows you to review the migrated data and ensure everything is transferred correctly before proceeding with the full migration.

Is there an option to re-migrate data if needed?

How do I connect my Shopware target store?
For Shopware, you'll select it as your 'Target Cart' and typically use the 'Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload)' connection method.
