# 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.

## 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/getting-started/quick-start-in-10-minutes.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.
