Create Redirect Rule

The Redirect Rule feature allows you to create country-based redirections, guiding visitors to their appropriate regional store.

Please follow the steps below to create a redirection rule based on a visitor's country:

• Open the GeoIP app

• On the Dashboard - click on Create Rule - Country Redirect

Step 1: General Settings

• Rule Name: Enter a name for your rule.

• Countries: Select the countries to which the rule should apply.

Step 2: Redirect Settings

• Destination URL: Enter the URL where visitors should be redirected.

• Store Name: Provide the name of the destination store.

• Relative Redirect (Optional):

  Enable this if you want to retain the same path/URL structure during redirection.

Note: If you are redirecting to a subfolder or the same domain URL, the redirection will occur only once per browser session. Example: If you redirect U.S. visitors to /en-us (Subfolder), redirect will trigger only once per session.

Step 3: Redirect Type

Choose one of the following redirection types:

• Display-Based Redirection: Shows a popup/banner allowing visitors to choose whether to stay or redirect.

• Auto Redirection: Automatically redirects visitors to the destination without any prompt.

If you choose Display-Based Redirection, you can:

• Choose from existing templates, or

• Create a new one.

Step 4: Whitelist

Exclude specific IP addresses (only Public IPv4 supported) or URLs from redirection.

If you want to whitelist for all rules, you need to enable the global whitelist setting and add the required IP addresses or URLs in the global whitelist setting

Go to Settings → Global Whitelist Settings

Step 5: Advanced Settings

This setting consists of 3 functionalities:

• UTM Parameters: You can add the parameters manually in the app for tracking or activate the Enable UTM Forward to forward existing custom parameters (e.g., tracking parameters from ads) to the destination store.

• Page Specific Redirection: With this feature, you can activate the page-specific redirection to trigger redirection from specific pages in the store.

• URL Mapping: With this feature, you can redirect users from an old URL to a New URL, if the old URL page is not available in the store.

The rule is now created in the app and is ready for use.
