Host Shopware 6 on your own server

If you’re hosting Shopware 6 yourself instead of using a cloud or managed hosting service, you’ll need to verify and update some further settings. Check the following settings so that Mailchimp and Shopware 6 can connect properly. Make sure you have a valid SSL certificate for your website to keep your users’ data safe. Use an online “SSL test” to verify your SSL Certificate is valid. Make sure your domain and your server are reachable from an external source. The user-agent Mailchimp uses to connect is Mailchimp-Shopware6. There’s an environment variable on your server called __APP_URL__. This URL should be set to a https-enabled domain. This variable on your server is sent to Mailchimp so that the application always understands what the correct URL is. If your APP_URL is already set up, you can migrate this variable to a different domain. You can learn more with this Shopware guide. You can check if the shop is reachable when you use the APP_URL. We expose the APP_URL when you open Mailchimp and Shopware 6 will inform you if the shop is not reachable. Make certain that you don’t have any limitations on the API endpoints from Shopware. The API path should also be built as: example.com+/api To learn more about hosting apps with Shopware, check out their hosting guide.
