Learn how to install, set up, and get started using the Shopware 6 connector.
Overview
When you connect your Shopware 6 store to Dotdigital, you can synchronise your Shopware customers, subscribers, products and orders, map your data fields, and use this data for better campaign targeting. You can also enrol new customers and new subscribers into your programs.
Before you start
Things you need to know:
- Check out the Shopware 6 integration checklist to help track your progress.
- If you have a store connected to another environment, such as a staging environment, you must disconnect it in Dotdigital and reconnect it to a production environment in Shopware.
