How to Bulk Upload Active-Page Rules into AI Redirects via CSV

Creating live redirects for active pages one at a time works for a handful of cases and becomes impractical the moment you need dozens or hundreds, which is exactly when a CSV bulk upload turns an afternoon of clicking into a single file import.

This guide is for merchants needing to apply many active-page redirects at once, migrations, large restructures, campaign routing, who want to do it through one bulk CSV upload rather than individually.

Quick Answer

Yes, active-page redirects can be uploaded in bulk via CSV. SC Easy Redirects supports uploading active-page redirects in bulk, letting you prepare a spreadsheet mapping source URLs to destination URLs and apply the entire set in one operation, which is far more efficient than creating each live redirect individually through the interface.

What This Involves

Bulk uploading active-page rules means preparing a CSV file listing each source URL and its intended destination, then importing that file so every mapped redirect applies in one operation, rather than manually creating each live redirect through the app's interface one at a time.

Who Needs This

• Merchants applying many active-page redirects at once
• Stores running large seasonal campaigns needing multiple routing rules
• Teams migrating or restructuring with dozens of pages to redirect
• Any business whose redirect needs exceed what manual entry can handle efficiently
• Businesses wanting a repeatable, documented bulk import process

Why It Matters for Your Business

• Manual entry does not scale past a handful of redirects
• Bulk upload turns hours of clicking into minutes of file preparation
• A CSV file is easy to review, edit, and version before applying
• This supports large migrations and campaigns that need many rules at once
• Bulk import reduces the chance of typos from repetitive manual entry
• The same CSV can be archived as a record of what was applied and when

Bulk CSV upload turns what would be hours of manual redirect creation into a single file import, essential for migrations, campaigns, or restructures needing many active-page rules at once.
