What Is a Topseller Product in Shopware 6?

In Shopware 6, a topseller is a product label used to spotlight high-performing or strategically promoted items across your storefront. It helps merchants highlight bestsellers, trending products, or key revenue drivers — grabbing customer attention and encouraging conversions.

When a product is marked as a topseller, it can appear in:

  • Special Topseller listings on category or landing pages
  • Dynamic product groups used for custom shopping experiences
  • Promotional sliders or product widgets throughout the store

This label isn’t just visual — it plays a functional role in how your products are grouped and displayed. For example, you can build custom product streams that only include items marked as topsellers, helping you automate merchandising for campaigns, seasonal pushes, or flash sales.

Where to Find and Edit the Topseller Setting in Shopware 6 Administration

In Shopware 6, the Topseller status is managed through the “Product promotion” toggle in the product detail view. This setting highlights the product with a brightly colored label (typically showing the word “Tip”) across your storefront.

To enable or disable the Topseller flag manually:

  1. Go to Shopware 6 Administration.
  2. Navigate to Catalogues > Products.
  3. Click to edit the product you want to promote.
  4. In the product detail view, scroll down and locate the “Product promotion” switch under the General section.
  5. Toggle it on to mark the product as a Topseller.
  6. Save your changes.

🆕 If you’re using the markAsTopseller field during import, this toggle is automatically updated — no manual input required.

The Product promotion switch is a built-in way to visually boost product visibility and highlight key items across listings. Now, thanks to the Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app, you can fully automate this process at scale.

What Is the markAsTopseller Field in Shopware 6?

The markAsTopseller field is a new import option that allows merchants to define which products should be highlighted as topsellers in their Shopware 6 storefront, directly via product import.

Before this update, tagging a product as a topseller required manual editing in the Shopware admin interface. With the new markAsTopseller import field, this process is now fully automatable — and scalable — no matter how large your catalog is.

This small but powerful addition saves time, reduces manual work, and aligns product data management with your marketing strategy. Rather than navigating through the admin panel to tag each product individually, you can now define topseller status in bulk.

Where to Use It: Shopware 6 Product Import with Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions

The feature is available through the Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app — your all-in-one solution for bulk data operations in Shopware 6.

Whether you’re importing hundreds of new products or updating existing ones, the app allows you to add a markAsTopseller column in your import file and set each product’s status with a simple binary value.

How It Works: Set Topseller Status via Import File

Using the markAsTopseller field is simple and flexible — designed for fast adoption and high accuracy.

In your CSV, XML, or XLSX import file, just add a column titled markAsTopseller and assign one of the following values:

  • 1 — to mark the product as a Topseller
  • 0 — to leave it unmarked

The field is optional, meaning you can leave it blank for products where no change is needed.

✅ Example row in your import file:

productNumber, name, markAsTopseller
SW10001, Premium Sneakers, 1

Technical Details for Developers

The functionality has been seamlessly integrated into the Shopware 6 architecture using best practices. Here’s what’s happening under the hood:

  • Field mapping: markAsTopseller → markAsTopseller
  • Not required; empty values are supported
  • The field is included in exports (but not filterable)
  • Affected files:
    • app/Models/DTO/Shopware/Product.php
    • app/Models/Export/Mapping/Shopware/ExportMapping.php

This ensures that both import and export operations remain stable and predictable across all workflows.

  • Feature key products on your storefront automatically
