If you would like to add hundreds of 301 redirects, you can upload them using a CSV file with the following fields:
OldUrl |
Text |
The old url that is not available anymore |
NewUrl |
Text |
The new url to 301 redirect the user to when they come in on the old url above |

The following is a sample file for importing new 301 redirects:

PLEASE NOTE:
- Try and use RELATIVE URLs (that start with "/" instead of "https://www.yourdomainname.com/")
- When bulk importing, always import an initial 10-50 records and test that they work before importing the rest of the CSV file (i.e. split into 2 CSV files for uploading)
- When importing an OLD URL that already has a 301 redirect, this will be replaced by the NEW URL.
- There is a formula for category page and product page URLs on abcommerce - so you can get a close approximate URL using an EXCEL formula (which saves you having to go into each new category page and new product page and copying the URL into a spreadsheet) which is as follows (and if you spell the title wrong, it will still bring up the correct page) - and note the product title uses hyphens instead of spaces and ignores non-alphabetical and non-numeric characters:
- Product URL = /p/productTitle/productCode
- Category URL = /c/categoryTitle/categoryCode
How to Import the File:
- Ensure that your file only has the fields OldUrl and NewUrl - the fields must be in this order.
- Save your file in .csv (UTF8) format
- Log in as web admin and click Catalogue - Bulk Imports
- Click Import 301 Redirects
- Browse to the csv version of the file and click Upload
- It will then tell you if the file was uploaded successfully and how many records were imported and then inserted/updated - as well as how many errors/warnings were found. If there are errors/warnings, they will be listed down the page.
