Summary
Redirects (also known as 301 Redirects) are used to send site visitors from one URL to another – when migrating from your old e-Commerce platform, or when renaming Handles.
Columns Available For Export And Import
Column | Allowed Values | Description / Example Value |

ID | Number | ID is automatically generated number by Shopify to identify the item. It is filled in by an Export. When creating new Redirect, leave this value empty. 44920047631 |
Path | Any characters allowed in a URL | It is the “path” part of your old URL.
Path is used as a secondary key to identify the Redirect. If the ID is not found, then the app will look for the existing Redirect by the Path value. The Path cannot be empty, and cannot be equal to Target. Use it without the server name. For example, if your old URL is https://yourstore.com/your-old-path/to/somewhere, then your redirect Path should be: /your-old-path/to/somewhere |
