Shopify is among the most popular ecommerce platforms with something like 1.75 million active shops using the platform in 2022. Shopify also makes it easy to work with 301 redirects.
A 301 redirect is HTML code to permanently divert one URL — one page on a website — to another. The “301” refers to the “Moved Permanently” HTTP status code.
These permanent redirects help preserve backlinks — and thus organic search rankings — and direct visitors to the correct page.
Hence 301 redirects are essential for ecommerce stores because they help ensure that shoppers and search engines alike can find the most up-to-date page for any product, blog post, or feature.
As an example, Atlas Resell Management, which sells used dental equipment, recently migrated from a Drupal Commerce store to Shopify. The new site required hundreds of 301 redirects, all of which were managed in Shopify.
I’ll address in this article the practical task of working with 301 redirects in Shopify. This adds to our coverage on the topic:
To create a 301 redirect in Shopify, head to the admin area, click “Online Store” and then “Navigation.”
From there, find the “View URL redirects” link in the upper right corner. When the page opens, the green “Create URL redirect” button is prominent.
On the actual 301 redirect page, enter the “from” path (the old page or product URL) and the “to” path (the new page or product). Then click “Save” to create the redirect. I’ll call this the “individual redirect page” in the sections below.
Repeat this process for each redirect. But know that Shopify limits redirects that include /apps, /application, /cart, /carts, /orders, /shop, or /services. There are also restrictions on fixed Shopify paths: /products, /collections, /collections/all.
Shopify’s redirect form, while simple, is impractical for a lot of redirects at once. Atlas Resell, above, had hundreds of 301s to create when it migrated from Drupal.
The good news is that Shopify allows for bulk uploads. A company can upload its 301 redirects as a comma-separated values file with two self-explanatory columns:
The import link is on the same pages as the aforementioned green “Create URL redirect” bottom.
After creating a single 301 URL redirect, the page format changes, and the “Import” link appears on the upper right side of the page, which displays a table of all redirects.
Shopify displays a simple tool in a modal to upload the CSV file, and just like that, a business can upload hundreds of redirects at once.
Having set up 301 redirects for a Shopify store, a store administrator will occasionally need to manage them, such as:
To find a specific redirect, search for it on the URL redirect page. Search results are filterable by the creation date — handy for finding old redirects— and can be saved.
To edit a specific 301 redirect, click the URL from the table on the main URL redirect page — this is the individual redirect page described above. Shopify will then open the original redirect form. Make the change and save.
From the same individual redirect page, a simple click will delete the URL redirect. (Shopify helpfully asks for confirmation before it deletes.)
Finally, exporting a list of URL redirects from Shopify is sometimes necessary. The export link is on the main URL redirect page next to the “Import” link described above.
301 redirects are an important part of managing any website. Shopify makes setting up redirects easy, and the platform’s bulk upload feature is a lifesaver when it comes to larger projects.
