Creating and Managing 301 URL Redirects

A 301 redirect is used to redirect traffic from one web page to another. When you change the URL of your SHOPLINE store, you can create the URL redirect to ensure your customers still find what they are looking for.

For example, if you delete a product, you can set up a URL redirect so that when customers enter the URL for that product, they will be redirected to a similar product in your store.

Creating the URL Redirect

Refer to the following procedures:

1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Settings > Domains. Locate the 301 Redirect section and click Manage redirections.
   
2. Click Add redirect in the upper-right corner.
   
3. In the pop-up window, enter the original URL you want to redirect from in the Redirect from field, and the destination URL you want to redirect to in the Redirect to field. To redirect visitors to your store’s home page, enter its URL here. Click Add to save the redirect.
   
   

Redirecting works for broken URLs only. A broken URL may load a “Page not found” placeholder message, or “404” may appear somewhere on the page or in the page header. URL redirection will not work if the URL still loads a valid web page.

Filtering the URL Redirect by Date

Refer to the following procedures:

1. Click Add time.
2. Select the date range from the drop-down menu.
