Redirect

This page was printed on Oct 14, 2019. For the current version, visit https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/online-store/redirect.

Version 2019-04

A redirect causes a visitor on a specific path on the shop's site to be automatically sent to a different location, called the target. The target can be a new path on the shop's site or a full URL. The new URL can even be on a completely different domain. Redirect paths are unique, so a shop can't have more than one redirect with the same path.
