Setting up redirection

URL redirects are used to redirect traffic from one web page to another. When you change a URL on your TronShop 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 category in your TronShop, then you can set up a URL redirect for it, so that when customers enter the URL for that product category, they will be redirected to a similar category.

Steps:

Example of a properly configured redirection from /en/about to /en/about-us:
demoshop.promotron.com/en/about

Importing and exporting redirection settings

Export

Shortly after, your browser will prompt you to download a .csv file, which contains all your exported redirection data from your TronShop and will be a good template for further imports. Upon opening the .csv file, you'll be presented with:

• Source URL
• Target URL
• Page name (if Pages section was selected)
• Product name (if Products section was selected)
• Product code (if Products section was selected)
• Supplier name (if Products section was selected)
• Supplier code (if Products section was selected)

Import

Remember, the file must contain the Source URL and Target URL for a successful import.

After you've uploaded the file and pressed the "Import" button, you'll receive an Import Result Log. You can download a Detail Import Log.

In conclusion, the import and export functionality provides a seamless way to manage redirections. Regularly backing up your redirection settings can act as a safety net, ensuring your website's consistent performance.

Redirection with external scripts

The redirect can also be done using external scripts. Go to Settings > Advanced Functions > External Scritps and click on the (+) button. A detailed description of how do external scripts work is described here.

In case you are having difficulties setting up external scripts, we recommend you to reach your IT, as some technical knowledge is required. Alternatively, you can reach directly our support team and book online session.
