1. Considerations for URL Redirects

• Limitations: URLs starting with /apps, /application, /cart, /orders, etc., cannot be redirected.
• Broken URLs Only: Redirects work only on URLs showing errors (e.g., 404).
• Redirect Limits: The maximum number of redirects is 100,000 unless using the Plus plan, which allows up to 20,000,000 redirects.
• Supported Paths: Only redirect broken pages, not fixed Shopify paths like /products.

2. Creating URL Redirects

• Go to Content > Menus in your admin panel.
• Select View URL Redirects > Create URL Redirect.
• Fill in the fields:
  • Redirect From: Enter the old URL.
  • Redirect To: Enter the destination URL.
• Use relative URLs (e.g., /collection/shirts) for the same domain or full URLs for external domains.
• Click Save Redirect.

3. Troubleshooting URL Redirects

If a redirect doesn’t work:

• Check for typos in the Redirect From and Redirect To fields.
• Ensure the old URL no longer points to an active page.
• Confirm the URL is not a fixed path or unsupported prefix.
• Clear the browser cache or try another device.

4. Managing URL Redirects

• Filtering Redirects by Date:
  • Go to Content > Menus > URL Redirects.
  • Click Date Added and choose a time range.
• Saving Filters:
  • Apply filters and save them as tabs for future use.
• Editing Redirects:
  • Edit individual redirects by selecting them.
  • Use bulk actions to update multiple redirects simultaneously.
• Exporting Redirects:
  • Export redirects as CSV files for backup or migration.
• Importing Redirects:
  • Import a CSV file with redirect data. Use Shopify’s sample CSV as a template.

5. Deleting URL Redirects

• Navigate to Content > Menus > URL Redirects.
• Select the redirects you want to delete.
• Click More Actions > Delete Selected Redirects.
• Confirm the deletion.

By following this guideline, you can effectively manage URL redirects to optimize user navigation and maintain SEO health for your Shopify store.
