URL redirection

You can configure URL redirections in the Genstore admin to automatically redirect traffic from old URLs to new ones. This helps you avoid 404 errors, preserve SEO rankings, and improve the user experience.

Genstore supports the following two types of redirection:

Type	Description
Single redirection	- Redirects a specific old URL to a new URL - Ideal for page updates or merges
Pattern redirection	- Redirects multiple URLs that share a common path prefix to a new structure - Useful for collection restructuring or category replacements
