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.
Create a URL redirect
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, click Settings > Apps and sales channels.
From the Apps and sales channels page, click Online store.
Click Open sales channel.
Click Navigation**.
Click URL Redirects.
-
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.
-
In Redirect to, enter the new URL that you want to redirect visitors to. If you want to redirect to your store's home page, then enter
