URL redirects

URL redirects can be used to redirect traffic from one web page to another. When you change a URL on your Shopify store, you can create a URL redirect to ensure your customers can still find what they're 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 are redirected to a similar product on your store.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.

2. Click URL Redirects.

3. Click Create URL redirect.

4. In Redirect from, enter the old URL that you want to redirect visitors from.

   Only broken URLs should be redirected. Broken URLs might load a "page not found" placeholder message, or "404" might appear somewhere on the page or in the page title. If the URL still loads a valid webpage, then the URL redirect won't work.
