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.
