Manual mapping

The following information can be migrated but needs to be mapped first.
During the migration, you will be asked to map the following fields. It's mandatory to create these in Shopware 6 before you start the migration process to ensure a smooth transition.

• Payment methods
• Standard Payment Method
• Salutation
• Delivery time
• Standard delivery time

Please make sure that you have created or set up the necessary entries, if you have used extensions in Shopware 5 there might be more fields that you need to map.
It's mandatory that this is done, not doing so will lead to problems since you will still need to map the fields to something.

Please make sure that everything is set up before starting the migration, even if you reset the migration you can't map the fields again. Should you need to map everything again, you can do so by deleting and recreating the migration
