Download and Installation

Since PrestaShop and WooCommerce don’t have fields to enter SEO URLs by default, you have to download specific plugins to perform SEO URLs migration for these two platforms.

To set up, you should download the SEO URLs Plugin package above, extract it and read the “read_me.txt” and follow the setup guide.


Why You Need 301 Redirects Option?

This option allows you to automatically & permanently redirect your old URL path to the new one during the migration.

By creating 301 Redirects, you send a signal to search engines and allow them to keep their index up-to-date. As a result, you can maintain your SEO ranking and customer experience after the website re-platforming.

Each eCommerce platform has its own ways of displaying URL paths. In order to get your URLs structured after the migration, LitExtension creates a 301 Redirects option.

  • The redirect practice is an effective way to send the message to both your customers and the search engines that the page has already been removed.
  • With the 301 Redirect option, after the migration, whenever customers access your old URLs, they will be automatically redirected to the new ones.

(Changing your store URL doesn’t mean that you have to buy a whole new domain)

Your URL without 301 Redirect: yourdomain.com/old-path
Your URL after LitExtension’s 301 Redirect: yourdomain.com/new-path

The key difference between the 301 Redirect option and SEO URLs migration is that while the former creates two URLs, the later only allows one work. As a result, the 301 Redirect option passes all the power scores to your new URL.

Important Note:

This service is available for every eCommerce platform except for OpenCart.

Can you maintain the URL structure of Source Store after migration?

Even you find a solution to enhance new links, your regular customers could not find your website with the old address and probably meet “404 page not found” error.

Especially, it would be a huge damage if they already registered an account or placed orders in your store. Certainly, while re-platforming for a better customer’s experience, no merchant wants to lose customers.
