PrestaShop Store Management
Advanced Redirections – 301, 302, 404 & Customer Redirects
Manage URL changes, handle broken links, and guide customers to the right pages after registration, login, and logout.
Take Control of Redirections in Your PrestaShop Store
Store URLs and customer journeys can change over time. Products may be discontinued, pages may be moved, and customers may need to land on a more relevant page after signing in or creating an account. Without suitable redirection, visitors can encounter broken links or be sent to pages that do not match their expectations.
Advanced Redirections for PrestaShop brings important redirection tasks together in one module. It is designed to help store owners manage permanent and temporary URL changes, address 404-related navigation issues, and control where customers are sent after registration, login, and logout.
Module Overview
Use 301 redirects for permanent URL changes and 302 redirects for temporary changes. Improve navigation around unavailable URLs and configure customer destinations after key account actions. The goal is a clearer browsing experience and more organized URL management.
Key Features
301 Permanent Redirects
Redirect an old or permanently moved URL to its new destination. Useful when changing product, category, or other page addresses.
302 Temporary Redirects
Send visitors to another URL temporarily when a page is unavailable or a temporary change is required.
404 Error Handling
Address broken or unavailable URLs by directing visitors toward a relevant destination instead of leaving them at an unhelpful dead end.
After Registration Redirect
Guide newly registered customers to a suitable page after they create an account.
After Login Redirect
Choose a more relevant destination for customers after they successfully log in to your store.
After Logout Redirect
Direct customers to an appropriate page after they log out, helping create a more consistent account experience.
Why Use an Advanced Redirection Module?
- Improve visitor navigation: Help customers reach useful pages when URLs change or become unavailable.
- Support SEO maintenance: Use appropriate redirects when pages are permanently or temporarily moved.
- Reduce dead ends: Provide a more useful destination for visitors who encounter broken URLs.
- Improve account journeys: Send customers to relevant pages after registration, login, and logout.
- Simplify store management: Handle important redirection requirements through a dedicated PrestaShop module.
Understand 301 and 302 Redirects
| Redirect |
Purpose |
Typical use |
| 301 |
Permanent redirect |
A page has permanently moved to a new URL. |
| 302 |
Temporary redirect |
A page is temporarily available at another URL. |
Choose the redirect type according to the actual situation. A 301 redirect is not a guarantee of retaining search rankings; the destination should be relevant, and redirects should be checked for chains and loops.
Common Use Cases
- Redirect an old product URL to its replacement product page.
- Redirect a permanently changed category URL to the relevant category.
- Temporarily send visitors to an alternative page while a page is being updated.
- Provide a useful destination when visitors reach an unavailable URL.
- Send new customers to a selected page after registration.
- Guide logged-in customers to a relevant store page.
- Choose a suitable destination after customers log out.
How It Works
01. Install the module

02. Configure URL redirections
Set up the required redirect behavior for URLs that have changed or need a new destination.

04. Configure customer redirection

Support Better URL Management and SEO
Changing a URL without considering its previous address can create a poor experience for visitors who follow old links. It can also complicate search-engine crawling and indexing. Using the correct redirect for a genuine URL change helps communicate where content has moved.
For best results, redirect each old URL to the closest relevant destination, avoid redirect chains and loops, and periodically review important links. Redirects support SEO maintenance, but they do not guarantee rankings or indexing outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 301 redirect?
A 301 redirect indicates that a URL has permanently moved to another address. It is commonly used when a product, category, or page URL changes permanently.
What is a 302 redirect?
A 302 redirect indicates a temporary move. It is useful when visitors should be sent to another page for a limited period.
Why should I handle 404 URLs?
A 404 response means that the requested page cannot be found. Providing an appropriate destination for relevant broken links can help visitors continue browsing your store.
Can I redirect customers after login?
The module is designed to cover customer redirection after login, along with registration and logout. The available destination choices depend on the module's configuration options.
Should I use 301 or 302?
Use 301 when the move is permanent and 302 when it is temporary. Selecting the correct status helps browsers and search engines understand the intended change.
Does a redirect guarantee better Google rankings?
No. Correct redirects can help preserve URL continuity, but rankings depend on many factors, including content relevance, technical health, and search-engine processing.
