--- title: Configuring the catalog export slug: campaign/docs/kymR-configuring-the-catalog-export docTags: createdAt: 2026-07-20T15:45:30.585Z --- :::hint{type="info"} **Note** This topic is for administrators and developers with administration access rights in Shopware. ::: This topic describes how to configure the catalog export, when using Shopware as e-commerce platform with Optimizely Campaign. You can transfer promotional texts and product images, and use this data in your newsletters. See [Content interface paragraph.](docId\:php17wfbpZtS4wLmVkeFG) ## How it works The integration reads a feed created in Shopware and transmits feed data to Optimizely Campaign. You can use filters in Shopware to exclude product categories. The integration exports the catalog to a CSV file , and automatically transfers the catalog to the Optimizely server via a secure SFTP connection at specific time intervals. ## Prerequisites You need an **SSH key pair** and an **SFTP user account** to set up a secure connection. To create a key pair, see: - [FTP access via SCP for Windows](docId:71cMX-B0CHLlutcXdWpMg) - [FTP access via SCP for MacOS/OS X](docId:82Aeocdt6LT_tgSeTtuIM) When you have created the key pair, do the following to request a user account: 1. Contact [customer support](docId\:ZWe1T3UPz3JW6_4mc76qV), providing the name of the CSV file with your product catalog. 2. Email your public key (the file with the **.pub** extension) to [customer support](docId\:ZWe1T3UPz3JW6_4mc76qV). 3. Send your key fingerprint in a *separate* email to [customer support](docId\:ZWe1T3UPz3JW6_4mc76qV). :::hint{type="info"} **Note** For security reasons, always send your public key and key fingerprint in two separate emails. ::: When your account is configured, you will receive your user account information by email, and you can start the configuration. ## Configuration steps 1. Configure the [feed](docId\:aX4Rci8IpbXUu4jFvSgys) for the catalog that is to be exported. 2. Configure your Shopware integration for [catalog export](docId\:aX4Rci8IpbXUu4jFvSgys). 3. Configure and activate the [cron job](docId\:aX4Rci8IpbXUu4jFvSgys)**Episerver Campaign Product Export** in Shopware to automate daily catalog exports. ### [kymR-configuring-the-catalog-export.mdx](docId\:aX4Rci8IpbXUu4jFvSgys)Step 1.
