A URL redirect sends a shopper from a dead storefront address to a working internal path or HTTPS URL. Tringify checks redirects only after the requested route or resource is not found, so a redirect cannot replace a live product, page, policy, collection, or other storefront route.
Redirect types
A manual redirect matches one path. A prefix rule matches a path family ending in /*. Automatic slug redirects and system prefix redirects are created when slugs or permalink segments change. You can remove them in Store Admin, but their paths and targets cannot be edited. Removing one stops that old address from forwarding shoppers.
Regional and translated addresses
Use the logical route when one redirect should work across storefront addresses. On a shared domain, another language for the primary country uses /{locale}, and another country uses /{locale}-{country}. On a country-dedicated domain, the country's default language lives at the root and another language uses /{locale}. Redirect resolution checks the complete addressed path first and then the logical path without the recognized address prefix.
