If the app does not connect or install correctly, go to [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/).

## Installation Troubleshooting

When installing the application to your Shopware 6 store make sure that:

1. Your store is accessible by the external URL. Local installation of Shopware 6 is not supported by the app.
2. Your store URL matches the **APP_URL** inside the **.env** file, including HTTP/HTTPS.

Otherwise, the app won't work!

## How to Setup the App on Staging/Dev Environment

For a consolidated version of staging, go-live, and connection fixes, see [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/).

1. Login into your Shopware Merchant account and add a new Test shop with a staging domain, e.g., `staging.example.com`
2. Login to your **staging** Shopware and set your **live** license domain as `example.com`
3. Set staging domain in `.env` file - `https://staging.example.com/` - on staging server.
4. Resolve app url
    1. If you copied your production environment and the Import/Export app is already installed:
    Run the following command:
        
        ```bash
        bin/console app:url-change:resolve reinstall-apps
        ```
        
        for Shopware versions > **6.7.3.0** use:
        
        ```bash
        bin/console app:shop-id:change reinstall-apps
        ```
        
    2. If the app is not yet installed. 
    Simply install the app to your staging shop from the Shopware store.

> ☝ Import/export profiles will not be copied from live to your staging store. You will need to manually create new profiles.

## How to Go Live with App

If you used the app on staging environment and now want to go-live with your store. Run the following command:

```bash
bin/console app:url-change:resolve move-shop-permanently
```

or for Shopware versions > **6.7.3.0**:

```bash
bin/console app:shop-id:change move-shop-permanently
```

In this case, our app will communicate with your live store instead of staging.
