Migrating to Shopify with the SAME domain and 301'd products and categories?

Hello, I would like to move some stores to Shopify but I'm not able to find a solution to redirect all my previous URLs to the new ones when using the same domain. 

All the answers and blog posts I found talk about migrating from oldomain to newdomain, but I want to migrate the SAME domain that already has an authority. 

 

Am I missing something? 

 

Thanks.

Hey @RodrigoSEO

 

For your use case, our URL redirects help doc has the correct steps. This can apply to the same domain, not just new domains. As long as the page you are redirecting from is broken and doesn’t redirect to a 404 page or similar, then it would work well. 

 

You’d need to connect your domain to Shopify first, then create the pages, collections, and products that will be replacing the ones from your old website. Then you can create the redirects. 

 

If you have a lot of URLs to redirect you might want to consider an app to save yourself time so you can focus on other parts of your business. Some options include:

 

 

You can find other options on the app store as well. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions!
