How to Bulk Import URL Redirects in Shopify Using CSV (Complete Guide & Free Template)

Managing URL redirects one by one in the Shopify admin is fine if you only have three broken links. But when you are executing a site migration, catalog restructure, or large seasonal cleanup involving hundreds or thousands of URLs, bulk importing via CSV is the only scalable method.

In this guide, you will learn the exact CSV formatting requirements for Shopify URL redirects, common import errors to avoid, and how to upload 100,000+ rules instantly using GP Easy Redirects.

The Standard Shopify Redirect CSV Format

A valid redirect import spreadsheet requires two specific column headers:

csv
Redirect from,Redirect to
/collections/old-collection,/collections/new-collection
/products/old-model-2022,/products/new-model-2024
/pages/about,/pages/our-story

Key Formatting Rules:

• Relative Paths Only: Do NOT include your domain name in the Redirect from column. Use /products/item-a instead of https://mystore.com/products/item-a.
• No Query Strings or Anchors: The Redirect from column cannot contain URL hash tags (#) or search parameters (?).
• Destination Can Be Relative or Absolute: Redirect to can be a relative internal path (/collections/shoes) or an absolute external URL (https://partner.com/deal).
