Last modified: March 26, 2024
Managing URL redirects can be a challenging prospect when it comes to your eStore. You might need to pass on a document containing all your redirects to a third person to ensure that all the redirects are working perfectly or see if there is a mistake in there. Or, perhaps you would like an SEO expert to check the URLs for SEO efficiency. You might also want to make lots of changes to URL redirects, where making those changes would be easier in a Spreadsheet document.

Step 1 – Login
The first step is to log in to your Shopify dashboard using your login credentials.
Step 2 – Navigation
Then from the dashboard, you can then select the ‘Online Store’ option and then ‘Navigation’. From here you can open up the redirects list. The list of all the redirects can be very extensive and are likely to be more extensive the longer you’ve been open.

To select a URL, simply tick the box next to the redirect box. However, if you would like to export all the redirects, you can skip this step.
Step 4 – Export
Once selected, you can click on the ‘Export’ button that has an up arrow icon in it. This will open a dialogue box on your screen. It will confirm the size and type of file you would for the exporting file to be. The size refers directly to the number of redirects that you would like to export.
The system allows you to export the current page, all redirects, selected or current search.
You can save the export as a CSV or Plain CSV file. Then you can click on the blue button that reads ‘Export’. The file will be automatically downloaded and saved within the default download file on your computer.
Then you can open the file and check whether the information is correct, make changes and more on your computer. When you’ve made the changes, you can then import the document back to your Shopify store to ensure the changes have been made to your store.
