How to Get to Profile Settings in Shopware 6

Your profile settings are available in the lower-left corner of the Shopware 6 administration. Follow these steps to reach your Shopware 6 profile settings:

Every user’s profile settings are stored like that. However, you cannot apply any changes here since user data can only be modified in the Shopware Account settings. Hit the corresponding link in the alert message to edit your user information (we will return to this step later).

Your Profile Settings in Shopware 6

Your profile settings in Shopware 6 contain the following basic information:

• First name;
• Last name;
• Email;
• User interface language (you can change it);
• Administrator switch;

How to Edit Profile Settings in Shopware 6

As we’ve already mentioned, it is impossible to edit profile settings in your Shopware 6 installation in the admin section. You need to go to your Shopware account situated under https://account.shopware.com/. Alternatively, you can hit the link in Your Profile that redirects to the same location.

Log in to your Shopware account.

Now, go to My Data.

Here, you can apply changes to User Data to edit Profile settings in your Shopware 6 administration.

Shopware lets you upload an avatar image and edit the following fields:

• Salutation;
• First name;
• Last name;
• Language;
• Password.

Note that you cannot change your email address here. All other changes that you apply here are transferred to your Shopware 6 profile in your e-commerce website’s administration section. Don’t forget to save your work when finished. You can find more Shopware 6 guides here: Shopware 6 Guides & Materials.

How to Import Any Data to Shopware 6

Although you cannot import profile settings from another platform to Shopware 6, there are still many more entities that you will need to transfer to your e-commerce website. And while the admin section of your Shopware 6 website contains import and export tools, you will need some advanced instruments to run more complex data transfers. Therefore, it is necessary to install a third-party extension that delivers the missing functionality. For instance, you can rely on our Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions for Shopware to simplify and automate any data transfer. Contact our support for more details.
