Export and import of 301 SEO redirects
The add-on adds a dedicated 301 SEO redirects section to the standard CS-Cart import and export tools. It helps administrators move, update and check redirect rules without editing every record manually in the admin panel.
What it is for
The add-on is useful when a store is moved, the catalog URL structure changes, URLs are corrected in bulk, or SEO maintenance is performed regularly. Instead of editing each redirect by hand, an administrator can export the current list, prepare changes in a file and import it back through the standard CS-Cart import workflow.
Key features
Export of 301 SEO redirects from the store.
Import of redirects with existing records updated by old URL and language.
Support for old URL, new URL, language and store fields in Ultimate.
Dedicated admin menu items for importing and exporting SEO redirects.
Multilingual store support through the language field.
How it works
After installation, the 301 SEO redirects section appears under Administration → Import data and Administration → Export data. During export, the add-on creates a file with old URLs, new URLs and languages. During import, it checks records by old URL and language: if a matching 301 redirect already exists, the add-on updates its new URL; if the imported row belongs to another redirect type, it is skipped. In Ultimate, the store is also taken into account.

Instructions for Export and import of 301 SEO redirects
What the add-on does
The add-on adds a dedicated import and export profile for CS-Cart 301 SEO redirects. It lets administrators export the current redirect list to a file, edit old and new URLs, and import the changes back through the standard CS-Cart import section.
The add-on works with these fields:
src — old URL.
dest — new URL.
Language — redirect language.
Store — store in Ultimate, when multiple storefronts are available.
During import, the add-on searches for an existing record by old URL and language. If a 301 redirect is found, its new URL is updated. If the found record belongs to another redirect type, the row is skipped to avoid changing unrelated data.
Where to find the add-on
After installation, the 301 SEO redirects section is available in two admin areas:
Administration → Export data → 301 SEO redirects — export existing redirects.
Administration → Import data → 301 SEO redirects — import and update redirects from a file.
The add-on does not have a separate settings page: all work is done through the standard CS-Cart import and export pages.
How to export redirects
1. Open Administration → Export data → 301 SEO redirects.
2. Select the language for the redirects you want to export.
3. In Ultimate, select the store if needed.
4. Run the export and download the file.
5. Check that the file contains the old URL, new URL and redirect language.
How to import redirects
1. Prepare an import file with old URL, new URL and language columns.
2. Open Administration → Import data → 301 SEO redirects.
3. Upload the file and map its columns to the import profile fields.
4. Run the import.
5. After the process is complete, check the CS-Cart report and make sure the rows were processed without errors.
Before a bulk import, it is recommended to create a database backup or test the file on a staging copy of the store. Import changes existing redirect rules.
How to check the result
1. Export several existing 301 redirects and make sure the old and new URLs are filled in the file.
2. Change the new URL for one test row and import the file back.
3. Open the SEO redirects list in the admin panel and check that the required record has been updated.
4. Visit the old URL on the storefront and make sure the store redirects the visitor to the new address.
