Prerequisites

To connect Xentral with your Shopware 6 shop, please ensure that you have a unique product number (SKU - Stock Keeping Unit) for all your products in Shopware 6.

Workflows

The following procedures describe best practices for connecting your shop with Xentral.

  1. Connecting the shop

  3. Mapping products to your shop

Connecting the shop

  2. Log into Xentral, and go to Administration > Shop Interface  > Shopware 6 API Advanced to initiate the setup process.
  3. Add Shopware 6 API Advanced credentials to the pop-up dialog box, and click Next.

    Important: Don’t select any option in the Which features do you want to use? screen as this could lead to incomplete data transfer in the early stage of your setup.

  4. If you use the Shopware 6 version, which is newer than 6.4.0, select the Shop Version >= 6.4.0. check box.
  5. After completing the setup, click Check connection to verify the setup.

Starting the initial import of products to Xentral

  1. In the Settings tab, select the Adopt product number from shop when creating option to set the Shopware 6 SKUs as product numbers in Xentral (recommended setting).

  3. In your online shop, click the pick up the item list button.

Mapping products to your shop

This part is only relevant if you didn’t use the button pick up the item list in your shop settings. If you added your products manually or via a CSV import, you must connect each product with your shop interface to finalize the product setup. There are three alternative ways to do this:

Mapping a single product

  1. Go to Master data > Product, and open the product you would like to map.
  2. Go to the  Online Shop options tab, and click New Entry.
  3. Enter the name of your online shop and click Save.

Mapping multiple products

  1. Go to Master data > Product and select the products you want to map.
  2. In the Bulk Batch Processing drop-down menu, select Bulk processing and click the To run button.
  3. In the edit article window, select Shopverknüpfungen and click Next.
  4. Choose the shop for each product and click Next.

Mapping products via the CSV import


It is possible to map products to shop via the CSV Import. You can find the instructions on the following link.

Note: If your Shopware 6 SKUs don’t match the Xentral product number, you have to import the Shopware 6 SKUs as foreign numbers.
