About the Extension

Initial situation

Many products are listed in search engines (e.g. Google, Bing,..) or users have shared the link to the product (e.g. Facebook, forums, blogs, etc.)
If products in the webshop are deactivated by the store owner (e.g. product is "End of Life" or the product is no longer in the assortment) and the search engines or the users come to the webshop through the links, a "404 - Page not found" page is displayed in the Shopware standard.
This is ok from search engines point of view and the page will be deleted from the index after some time, the external links to the store usually remain and so many users get to a "404 - Page not found" page.

Functionality of the plugin

If an inactive product URL is called, then the user / search engine is automatically redirected to the category of the "inactive" product that was assigned to the product in question. In the plugin configuration you can choose which information is sent to the search engine (404, 301 or 302 redirection). Thus, for inactive products, the "404 - page not found" will automatically be a thing of the past.

Requirements

  •     The "inactive" product must be created in the admin, assigned to a sales channel and a category.
  •     For sale products (products with stock level 0 and active set sale) this works in principle, but here is a prerequisite that in the admin under Settings > Shop > Products > Hide products after end of sale was activated.

Special cases

  • If multiple categories are assigned to the product, the plugin redirects to the main category assigned to the active sales channel if this is possible, otherwise the exception "Not found" is displayed in the storefront.
  • If a product is not assigned to the sales channel in question, then a 404 error message (as in Shopware Standard) will still be displayed and no redirection will take place.
