Basic setup

In this tutorial we would like to show you which points you should pay attention to when setting up Early Access Version 1, since in this version no information pages such as terms and conditions, privacy etc. are created during installation.

Information pages in footer and service menu

The structure of the footer and service menus is mapped in Shopware 6 via the category structure.
You can create your own substructure within the category tree and assign it to the menus.
In the following we describe this step by step.

Creating a Category Structure

First create the categories you want to use in the menus.
For example, this could look like this.
 

When creating the category structure for the menus, please note that each individual menu item (e.g. general terms and conditions, imprint) represents its own category.

You can learn how to create and manage categories in the article Categories.

 

Creating and assigning Shopping Experiences

In order to fill the individual pages with content, you assign a layout created in the experience worlds to the category. This layout should be of the shop page type, as it does not contain a listing or the shopping cart area of a product detail page.
About the shopping experiences you are completely free in the design of the shop pages.
So you can either use the same layout for all pages and then maintain the content in the respective category or you create an individual layout for each shop page.

You can find out how to create corresponding pages in the shopping experiences in the article Shopping Experiences​​

Then you assign the created layout to the respective category under Layout assignment (1).
Alternatively you can also open the layout editor of the shopping experiences directly to create a new layout (2).
 

 

Assigning Navigation Points to the Sales Channel

To ensure that the menus are also displayed in the frontend, you must select the menus as entry points for the respective menus.
This is done in the settings for the relevant sales channel in the Navigation area. The structure in the footer is defined via the entry point footer navigation. In deviation from this, a separate menu can be used for the service navigation (in the standard top right corner above the button for the customer account).
 

In the footer, the menus are displayed in 3 columns, with the first entry being the service hotline.
You can customize the data by using the text modules footer.serviceHotlineHeadline and footer.serviceHotline.

If you include more than 2 own columns in the footer, an additional row will be added.

Links to information pages

 

 

In order to provide the links to the shipping costs on product detail pages (1), the privacy in the registration form (2) or the terms and conditions and revocation notice in the checkout (3 and 4), the following steps are necessary.

Create shop pages

First create under Contents > Shopping Experiences corresponding shop pages for terms and conditions, revocation notice, shipping and payment information and privacy. Information on how to use the editor can be found in the article Shopping Experiences​​.
If applicable, you can also use pages that you have already created for the footer.

Assign shop pages

Then you can assign the created pages under Settings > Basic information in the section Shop pages.
