Exploring Shopware: Dashboard of Your Shopware 6 Administration

Before going to your admin dashboard, you will need to create a Shopware ID. Note that it requires no additional actions since Shopware 6 provides it along with a new Shopware account.

You can create a new Shopware account as follows:
– visit the registration page;
– hit the Register Now link;
– fill in the registration form;
– confirm your intent via email.

Shopware master data is all the information about you and your company for which you create an e-commerce website. You provide it when setting up your account. Shopware 6 master data usually includes contacts and company details, such as addresses, emails, phone numbers, company name, etc.

You can add a new Shopware 6 shop as follows:
– go to the start screen of your merchant area;
– click the Add New Shop link;
– select a cloud or on-premise website;
– fill in the form, providing information about your new Shopware shop.

Shopware 6 lets you add a payment method and send money to your account to create a deposit for purchasing extensions and themes. You can add a payment method to your Shopware 6 account as follows:
– go to Basic Information -> Accounting;
– select PayPal, credit card, or direct debit;
– provide the required information (it depends on the selected payment method);
– add a new payment method to your Shopware account;
– send money to your account.

When the first payment method is specified, you can pay in advance for your further purchases. You can create a deposit in Shopware 6 as follows:
– go to your Merchant Area -> Shops;
– select a shop to add funds to;
– click Open Account Details;
– transfer money to your account.

After placing a deposit on your Shopware 6 account, you can purchase extensions for the corresponding shop. You can use either the Shopware Marketplace or the Plugin Manager. In both cases, choose a tool that your business requires and complete the purchase.

The support department is divided into two subdivisions. The first one works with inquiries regarding account and license (info@shopware.com or +49 2555 9288 50). The second one provides help regarding accounting and financial services (financial.services@shopware.com or +49 2555 9288 510).

If you are new to Shopware but already have an e-commerce website, you will need to migrate to the new storefront. However, a third-party extension is necessary to perform this procedure since the default Shopware instruments cannot transfer all the entities you will need to migrate. Use the Import & Export extension for Shopware 6 instead. Contact us for more information.

Also, the default data transfer tools are not enough to automate recurring import and export processes. Install the Improved Import & Export extension for Shopware 6 to create a schedule of updates for each data transfer individually. After that, the extension will run import and export processes automatically.

Connecting your e-commerce website with external platforms is associated with third-party tools, such as the Improved Import & Export extension. Our module is developed to help you integrate your Shopware storefront with external systems via numerous API connections. It can connect a database of your storefront to ERPs, CRMs, accounting systems, and other similar tools. Next, it will automate import and export processes and apply changes to the transferred data according to the requirements of your Shopware store and the connected platforms. As a result, seamless integration is possible.
