Manage Redirections

Motive's Redirections allow shoppers to find information that is outside of your catalog, which may be more related to your shop and your services rather than the products you offer. In the search layer, they appear in the dropdown of your shop’s search box’s results, and shoppers have to click them to be redirected to the corresponding page.

Redirections

For example, you can use redirections to:

  • Give information about returns or shippings.
  • Link your privacy policy to show transparency to your shoppers.
  • Show where your physical stores are located.
  • Access pages about discounts or promotions.

note

Shoppers that click redirection entries will access the redirected page in the same tab so they don’t lose track of the context of their searches.

The Redirections page

Click Search Results > Redirections in the left-side menu to access the Redirections page. It displays all the redirections that you create in your account.

You see the following information for each redirection:
