I have a shop in Shopify let’s say https://tiinasplace.com/ and I have a second domain tiinasanotherplace.com
I want that tiinasanotherplace.com point to https://tiinasplace.com/pages/another and that the URL on browser still shows https://tiinasanotherplace.com
Is this possible and if it is, then how to do it?
Hi @Tiina ,
Nick here from Shopify.
Great question. This is something which is possible to do and natively from the Shopify admin. From what you have described it sounds like you are looking for a URL redirect. URL redirects can be used to redirect traffic from one web page to another. In saying that you would need to own and have both URL domains connected to your store. Once you have both domains connected, you can apply the URL redirect. You can do this by taking the following steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.
ClickURL Redirects as seen below:
Click Add URL redirect.
In Redirect to**, enter the new URL that you want to redirect visitors to. If you want to redirect to your store’s home page, then enter /.**
Shopify has a help guide going through all these steps and more here which you might also find useful.
Hopefully, this helps and answers your question. Should you have any other questions, be sure to let me know!
Hi, Nick
I have now connected the new domain to the shop, but I have difficulties with the URL redirect.
I have tried to give the source bath in every witch way, but it just won’t accept it.
I’d like to have it so that source path is https://tiinasanotherplace.com and destination path is
https://tiinasplace.com/pages/another.
BR, Tiina
Hi @Tiina ,
Can you share the message or a screenshot of what it is showing you when it won’t accept the redirect, please?
It’s difficult to know why this might not be working without seeing the error message.
In the meantime, there are also some redirect apps in the Shopify App Store which might also be worth looking into. One of them is called Easy Redirects and has a free plan that you can see here.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hello,
So I am having the same issue. I think what the problem is is that the redirect can only select a “from” link from a path on the main domain.
For example, mine is www.jimuapparel.com so I can only select a “from” link that looks like this: www.jimuapparel.com/fillintheblank. I want my second third-party domain, www.jimuperformance.com to point to https://www.jimuapparel.com/pages/performance. So the redirect doesn’t work since the “from” link is not under the main domain and the website reads it as www.jimuapparel.com/www.jimuperformance.com when you enter it into the redirect section which will just redirect to the main domain (www.jimuapparel.com).
Is there a different way to get the second domain to point to a page on the main domain? Both my domains are connected to my account. I would love to hear your response.
Thanks!

Hi @JIMUDan ,
I’m wondering if this is because of the following:
Only broken URLs should be redirected. Broken URLs might load a “page not found” placeholder message, or “404” might appear somewhere on the page or in the page title. If the URL still loads a valid webpage, then the URL redirect won’t work.
This came from the guide Shopify has on URL redirects here.
Also, is this note here describing what you are looking to do? I’m not 100% sure.
I am also having the same issue and no one at Shopify Plus Support seems to understand the issue nor the solution.
The URL Redirects in the admin only redirect FROM your primary domain. The question is how to set the “redirect from” specifically from the secondary domain.
seconddomain.com redirects to primarydomain.com/pages/x
I have exact the same issue.
I described it in a new topic.
seems im not the only one trying to find that answer…
