Create redirects in Shoporama
Short guide to creating redirects in Shoporama so that old URLs point to the right pages.
A redirect is an instruction that sends visitors and search engines from one URL to another. It’s important to use redirects when you change URLs in your store; otherwise, you’ll lose traffic and SEO value.
What is a redirect?
When you rename a product, a category, or a static page, the URL changes. A redirect tells the browser (and Google) that the old URL is now located somewhere else. There are two types:
- 301 (permanent): The old URL has been permanently moved. Google transfers the SEO value to the new URL
- 302 (temporary)—the old URL has been temporarily moved. Google retains the SEO value on the old URL
In most cases, you should use a 301 redirect.
Create a redirect in Shoporama

- Go to Account → Webstore → Redirects (URL: /redirect)
- Click "Create New"
- Enter the old URL (From) and the new URL (To)
- If necessary, check the box for Regular Expression or Include Arguments (all redirects in Shoporama are 301)
- Click Save
Using Regular Expressions
Shoporama supports regular expressions (regex) in redirects. This is useful if you need to redirect many URLs according to a specific pattern, such as when migrating from another platform.
Example: Redirect all URLs starting with /shop/ to the root:
From: ^/shop/(.*)$ To: /$1
When should you create redirects?
- When you rename a product or category (the URL changes)
- When you delete a page that has incoming links
- When you move your store from another platform
- When you restructure your store (e.g., change the category structure)
