Creating Your CSV File for Upload
To use this tool, you must first create a .csv file that contains two columns, a from and to. A header row is required!
- The From column should contain the relative path of the page you are redirecting. For example, if you are redirecting this page https://www.yourstore.com/301thisurl.html the relative path to enter would be /301thisurl.html
- The To column should contain the full URL of the page you want the page to redirect to. For example https://www.anotherdomain.com/redirecthere.html
Uploading Redirects to Your Store Tools
To begin, if your BigCommerce store has Multi-Storefront enabled, you’ll need to select your site from the Select Store Front dropdown. If you do not have Multi-Storefront, this option will not appear.
Select the .csv file you created with your redirects in it, and click Next.
Map the columns in your .csv file to the appropriate fields, then click Next.
By default, Your Store Tools will email you when your import is complete. If you choose to receive this notification, verify your email address is correct before clicking Submit.
Once your file is processed, you will receive a notification either by email or in the Your Store Tools Notification Center, which is the “bell” in the upper right corner.
