How to Create Product Redirects After Data Migration from/to WooCommerce

During WooCommerce data migration, Cart2Cart offers the option to create product redirects to ensure a seamless transition for your customers. This helps maintain your SEO ranking by automatically redirecting customers and search engines to the new URLs. To enable this feature, you'll need to install the free "Redirection” plugin before starting your data transfer.

Installing the Redirection Plugin for WooCommerce Data Migration

1. Install the plugin:
• Enter your WooCommerce Admin Panel
• Hold the mouse over Plugins in the Left Nav menu and choose Add New
• Enter "Redirection" in the search field



• Click on the Install Now button



• Once the installation is finished, click on Activate



• Choose Installed Plugins from the Plugins tab
• Find "Redirection" and click on Settings



• Press Start Setup button



• Check "Monitor permalink changes in WordPress posts and pages" and "Keep a log of all redirects and 404 errors". Click on Continue Setup



• Click on Finish Setup



• Click on Finished, and your plugin is ready to use!
2. Go to Cart2Cart Migration Wizard
3. Choose “Create the 301 redirects on your target store after migration” additional option during your data migration setup.
4. Launch Full migration

Additionally, we suggest implementing such settings in Permalinks menu in your WooCommerce admin panel:

- go to Settings->Permalinks, choose Post Name in the Common Settings section and Default in the Product Permalinks.
