Redirections

Introduction#

As a merchant, you might be creating a website, and then sharing links of your products, collections, deals, marketing pages, and more with your target customers. If you have spent money on advertisements that link directly to a URL on your website, you may never want to lose or change the URL.

However, Fynd Platform allows you to redirect visitors from an old URL to a new URL. It allows you to redirect domains as well as redirect paths. Moreover, this redirection feature works for both predefined domains and custom domains.

Scenarios of redirection#

  • Domain Redirection
    • Redirect a custom domain to another custom domain on Fynd Platform
      Example: mytestshop.com → newshop.com
    • Redirect a predefined domain to a custom domain on Fynd Platform
      Example: sale.fynd.io → newshop.com
    • Redirect a custom domain to a predefined domain on Fynd Platform
      Example: mytestshop.com → sale.fynd.io
    • Redirect a predefined domain to another predefined domain on the same saleschannel of Fynd Platform
      Example: deal.fynd.io → sale.fynd.io
  • Path Redirection
    • Redirect a path from a previous custom domain to a path on the same custom domain on Fynd Platform
      Example: /data/products/ → /products (on mytestshop.com)
    • Redirect a path from a predefined domain to a path on the same predefined domain on Fynd Platform
      Example: /data/products/ → /products (on sale.fynd.io)
tip

By using both path and domain redirection in conjunction, you can redirect an old custom/prefined domain having old path, to a new custom/predefined domain having new path. Example: mytestshop.com/data/products/ → sale.fynd.io/products/

info

You can readily use predefined domains such as fynd.io and fyndstore.co for redirections, as you don't have the option to change the A records or TXT records. For any operation with custom domains, you have to link the domain to your Fynd Platform account by configuring A records and TXT record in your domain provider account.
