How to integrate Shopware 6 with external systems?
You may argue that the Integration section of Shopware 6 should replace all third-party connectors but it doesn’t do that. Thus, the Improved Import & Export extension lets you integrate your store with ERPs, CRMs, and accounting tools in a more user-friendly way. As we’ve just mentioned, it automates repetitive import and export processes on the basis of cron-based schedules. Furthermore, it modifies data with the help of mapping schemes according to the requirements of your Shopware store upon import. The same logic is applied to exported data to create a perfect output for the connected platforms upon export.
