# Export & Import Configuration

The complete Shopware configuration – **including all mappings** – can be exported as a **JSON file** and imported again. This is ideal for backups and for transferring a configuration from a test environment to a production environment.

**Use cases**

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Backup</strong></td><td>Back up your setup before making major changes.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Test → Production</strong></td><td>Transfer a verified configuration to the live environment.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Multiple companies</strong></td><td>Distribute a base setup as a template.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
After an import into a different environment, you should check the **credentials** and any environment-specific IDs. Then run [Test Connection](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/configuration/test-connection-and-diagnostics.md).
{% endhint %}

**Procedure**

1. In the configuration, call the **Export** function and save the JSON file.
2. In the target environment, call the **Import** function and read in the file.
3. Test the connection and check the mappings in the [Mapping Hub](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/configuration/shopware-mapping-hub.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/shopware/shopware6_en_us/configuration/export-and-import-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
