Redirection for inactive products (to category instead of 404 page)
Product information "Redirection for inactive products (to category instead of 404 page)"
Highlights
Automatic redirection of inactive products to a category or successor product Flexible control for search engines with selectable redirect status (404, 301, or 302) Fallback to homepage or 404 page if no redirection is available
Features
Automatic redirection of deactivated products to the assigned category or defined successor product With multiple categories, redirection goes to the main category of the active sales channel If no category or successor product is assigned, a 404 page or optionally the homepage is displayed Option to choose whether search engines receive a 404, 301, or 302 response Support for sell-out products (with the “Hide products after end of sale” option enabled)
In the Shopware standard, users land on a 404 page when a product is deactivated or removed from the range. External links from search engines or social media therefore lead to dead ends.
We have therefore developed a plugin that offers the following advantages:
Automatic redirection
When an inactive product is accessed, the plugin automatically redirects customers to the defined category or successor product. This keeps visitors in the shop and helps them easily find alternatives.
Flexible control for search engines
The redirect status can be individually defined. Search engines receive either a 404, 301, or 302 response, while customers in the frontend do not notice any difference.
Intelligent fallback
If no category or successor product is assigned, the redirection will go to the homepage or a classic 404 page. If multiple categories are assigned, the plugin automatically uses the main category of the active sales channel.
Support for sell-out products
Sell-out products are also taken into account, provided the option “Hide products after end of sale” is activated.
