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 additional 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 knows 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 sure that you don’t have any restrictions on the API endpoints from Shopware. The API path should also be built as: example.com+/api
