Please consider allowing admins to create redirects for pages that exist and aren’t broken!
The biggest use case for me is when I need to create a custom page to replace a collection with a filter:
So Shopify already creates a page called: /collections/all/[custom tag]
That page can neither be deleted, not redirected: it exists as a default.
But when we create an alternate such collection page or regular page that is enhanced for SEO (say with an intro, additional text, etc), we are left with duplicate pages which confuses Google and reduces SEO effectiveness.
An easy solution would be simply to redirect from the auto page we can’t delete to the new, enhanced page. However, that doesn’t work because Shopify doesn’t allow redirects for non-broken pages.
These are pretty big SEO issues as I’ve enhanced many of my automated collection/all/[tag] pages and my site is now full of duplicates.
Please help and vote up this topic if you also want redirects to be available for non-broken pages.
Do you know that you can actually create a collection titled “All” and it will get a handleall and actually replace what’s shown at the /collections/all URL?
Then you can assign special template to this collection and configure it the way you want?
If that does not work for you it’s always possible to add a small liquid code to check if we’re on this page and redirect with JS/HTML redirect…
Shopify disallows crawlers on those pages because of their autogenerated nature.
There should be no duplicates from that unless you’ve messed with robots.txt
Which would be the real problem.
Not counting custom pages with same content because you haven’t made anything canonical (an actual priority)
You really need to go over this with a SEO specialist, or several different ones.
Shopify disallows crawlers on those pages because of their autogenerated nature.
But that can still be applied to choosing to ignore that by taking over tag-filtered urls.
Be sure your not trying to niche down so hard you dilute more important things.

Thanks for your response. These auto generated collection pages that have the tags as filters (/collections/all/tag…) do show up in my ‘indexed pages’ list in Google Search Console and regularly show up for searches. So they’re definitely indexed and chosen by Google to be served in search results. But it’s hard to customize them because they’re not based on templates.
Thus the issue of sometimes needing to create another custom page if you want to update such a collection page to be better, or custom in some way. I have many, many of these auto collection pages.
On the SEO comments: I didn’t think this is the place to discuss SEO issues because that would make my post too long, but I’ve absolutely consulted on the pages I’m ehancing with SEO specialists and have a marketing background myself.
Here, I’m more suggesting that it would be very useful to be able to control redirects for pages that are not broken (such as these collections). I’m assuming there are many more use cases for this than my one. I’ll go head and submit that in the link you provided - the problem with only submitting to staff is you can’t get upvotes and it becomes a black box how many other folks may want a similar solution. Sigh!
A thing about feature requests is they get boiled down to a goal that’s the least common denominator.
Goals here are A) not having tag filtered urls being indexed which then leads to B) wanting redirects.
Yet not having tag filtered urls is already a solved problem with robots.txt.
Or merchant customizing for canonical resources.
And if shopify did B there would be a side effect of people trying to probably misuse that to get rid of /products/.., /collections/… paths.
I wouldn’t around hoping for this one, just enact the advice given.
Not having them indexed is not my ask. I only want to be able to redirect a very small percentage to custom pages (say 20 of the 200 auto tagged pages). But the default index for those other 180 that I have not customized is something that’s useful. I just wanted to be clear on that.
I have found a custom Shopify app (many actually) that allow for redirects from non-broken pages, but I do believe this should be a native ability.
As I’ve written above, you can easily add a liquid code to do redirects.
It would not be as “native” as proper 301/302s, but will do the job nonetheless.
I am pretty sure that these apps do the same, they are just for people who either can’t add code or who have too many/too complex of those rules.
Title: Native automatic translations for online stores
Request: It would be great if Shopify included built-in automatic translation for online stores, so that customers from different countries can browse and shop in their own language without merchants having to manually translate every product, page, and piece of content.
Currently, merchants need to either translate everything manually (which is very time-consuming) or pay for a third-party app. For stores selling internationally across multiple markets — like EU stores targeting 24+ languages — this is a major barrier.
A native integration with automatic translation (similar to what apps like Weglot offer) would make international selling much more accessible for all Shopify merchants.
