Whitelist (Rule based)

There are two types of Whitelist options available in the app.

1. Rule Based Whitelisting - can be configured in specific rules.

2. Global Whitelisting - works for all rules at once.

You can utilise Global Whitelisting configuration (added IP address or ULRs) in a particular rule by enabling the Consider Global Settings.

Consider Global Settings

Consider Global Setting is created to apply the same whitelist settings to all rules available in the app. If the Consider Global Setting is active in the rules then the Whitelist IP or URL in the Global setting will work for that specific rule.

Rule-based whitelisting allows preventing redirection for certain users for a particular rule.

It has two options to prevent redirection:

1. Whitelist IPs Settings

2. Whitelist URLs Settings

Please note that in a rule, only one option either IP or URL can be utilized at a time. Both functionalities cannot be used simultaneously.

1. Whitelist IPs Setting

This setting will whitelist (prevent redirection) the complete store for a specific IP address.

• Click on the Country Redirect option → click on Edit to make changes to the redirection rule.

• Click on the Whitelist option → Enter the IP address (Public IPv4 only) → click on the save button.

Note the following points:

The app only supports IPv4 addresses.

The IP address should be added in a comma-separated format with no spaces.

2. Whitelist URLs Setting

This setting will prevent redirection on a specific URL added in the whitelist URL section.

• Click on + Add new Whitelist Rule

• Add Whitelist URL details → click on the Add button.

Whitelist URL format

• Add URL Path:

  • Enter the specific URL path where you want to stop redirection.

  • Example: /product/toy-stopper (This applies only to this exact page).

• Choose a Matching Type:

  • Exact: Redirection will be blocked only if the URL exactly matches the entered path.

  • Contains: Redirection will be blocked if the URL includes the specified path anywhere within it.

Use Case of Exact & Contains types:

1. Exact

With the Exact type, you can whitelist (prevent redirection) complete URLs in your primary store.

For example - you want to prevent redirection on the 'Contact-us', 'about-us' or 'blogs'. In that case, you need to add the URL path with the Exact type in the app.

2. Contain

With the Contain type, you can prevent redirection using a keyword in the URL. If the URL contains that specific keyword, the redirection will not be triggered on that URL.

For example - you want to exclude URLs from redirection which contain the keyword “products“. In this case, you need to add the “products” keyword in the app and select the type “Contain“ to prevent redirection.
