Shop system

Shopware 5

Shopware 5 is still in the market and relevant for migration projects. ConFlowIO addresses articles directly by their article number — including spaces, slashes or umlauts. Writing happens per record: slower, but a failure affects one article instead of a whole batch.

Orders come out as Commerce Bundle orders; order status, payment status and tracking number go back. Customers are read and written.

Demo on your own data

An order that already has the requested state is skipped — so the report-back can be repeated safely.

Building blocks

Seven building blocks for Shopware 5

  • Write products, categories and master dataWrite

    Writes articles by their article number, with no lookup, and takes product images along. Categories, manufacturers and tax rates are found by name.

  • Read dataRead

    Reads data from Shopware 5, only what changed since the last run if needed — as the source for a migration to Shopware 6, say.

  • Read ordersRead

    Reads orders as Commerce Bundle orders — with items, billing and shipping address and processing state, only the open ones and only those changed since the last run if needed.

  • Report back on ordersWrite

    Reports order status, payment status and tracking number back and cancels orders. Order states added by a shop plugin can be set when explicitly requested. An order that already has the state is skipped.

  • Read customersRead

    Reads customer accounts in the Commerce Bundle's customer model. Names, addresses and contact details are read only when that is explicitly switched on in the building block.

  • Write customersWrite

    Creates or changes customer accounts from the Commerce Bundle's customer model.

  • Free API callFree request

    Reaches everything the shop's API offers — just without the groundwork and the safeguards of a ready-made building block.

Product images are written straight out of the write block.

In practice

Two workflows with Shopware 5

  1. Migration from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6

    The old shop is the source, the new one the target — with no export in between.

    1. ReadShopware 5
    2. Preparemap onto the Commerce Bundle
    3. WriteShopware 6, in batches

    The mapping against the Commerce Bundle stays after the migration; only the last building block changes.

  2. Orders into the ERP

    Orders from Shopware 5 should reach JTL-Wawi without manual work, and the tracking number get back to the shop.

    1. Readopen orders from Shopware 5 that changed since the last run
    2. Hand overas a sales order to JTL-Wawi, in the unified order model
    3. Read backthe sales orders shipped since the last run, with tracking number
    4. Reportorder status and tracking number to Shopware 5

    No order is created twice — an order JTL-Wawi already knows by its number is skipped. Shopware 5 sends the customer no status email along the way.
