# Quick Start in 10 Minutes

This quick start takes you from the freshly installed app to your **first successful synchronization** in just a few minutes. The individual steps are explained in detail in the respective specialist chapters – here it is all about the fastest route to a sense of achievement.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisite:** The app is installed and you have Shopware 6 access with administration rights (Admin API). For details, see [Installation](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/getting-started/installation.md) and [System Requirements & Compatibility](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/getting-started/system-requirements-and-compatibility.md).
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Set up the connection**

Open the **Shopware Configuration** and enter the **website URL**, the **API module path** (usually `/api`), and your credentials. Select the appropriate authentication method: password grant or integration access.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Test the connection**

Click **Test Connection**. If a success message appears, the token retrieval was successful. Otherwise, check the URL, path, and credentials – see [Test Connection & Diagnostics](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/configuration/test-connection-and-diagnostics.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Load initial data**

Click **Load Shopware Initial Data**. The connector retrieves payment methods and shipping methods, taxes, currencies, sales channels, customer groups, countries/regions, languages, and status management from Shopware. These form the basis for all mappings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check the mappings**

Open **Shopware Assignment** and mark the default **sales channel**, the **currency**, and the **customer group** (*is Selected* field). Assign your **VAT product posting groups** to the Shopware tax rates.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Upload your first item**

Open an item, set **Web Item = Yes**, maintain the description, price, and VAT product posting group, and click **Actions → Shopware → Upload Product**. After the upload, the **Web-ID** is filled in automatically.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check the result**

Check in Shopware whether the product appears. If there are problems, the Activity Log shows the cause.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**And then?**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** First create **test data** through the configuration (demo items, customers, and variants) and practice the process before you transfer real data.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/shopware/shopware6_en_us/getting-started/quick-start-in-10-minutes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
