File Sources

When setting up an import profile, you can choose from several import sources. Select the appropriate source in Step 1 of the import wizard.

If you provide a file via FTP, follow these steps:

  1. Specify your host;
  2. Enable/disable SSL;
  3. Specify your port;
  4. Provide a user email to get access to the remote file source;
  5. Specify the corresponding password;
  6. Type the remote path to your update file;
  7. Test the connection to make sure you’ve provided the correct credentials.

For Google Drive, let Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions use all permissions and specify a full file name with its extension, e.g., “pe5.1.xlsx”, stored in the “shopware-import-export” folder.

You can also import data from Google Sheets. It is necessary to select the corresponding file type and source and specify a link to your Google Sheets table. You can find more information here: How to Import Data to Shopware 6 from Google Sheets.

Good old URL imports are possible too. Just select “URL” as your import source. Next, specify a public URL where your update is stored, for example, https://example.com/download-me. You can find more information here: Shopware 6 Import From URL.
