moving to new cart platform, seo query

Dylan765

Hi im moving from woocommerce to shopify, no probs with rebuilding the site on there etc, however the urls will be different so im likely to lose my organic search gains, ok i could 301 all the urls but this seems a huge task given the amount of them involved, i guess my question is what is the best way to handle this?
if i did nothing would google eventually figure it out and pass on previous rankings?
Thanks

Definitely 301 redirect the URLs that are ranking/have external links pointing to them anyway. - Use Google Search Console & Google analytics to see the pages that are ranking/top trafficked pages and use SEMRush or some other software to see if any of the URLs have external links pointing to them.

I wouldn't waste my time 301'ing all URLs if they aren't ranking or haven't links pointing towards them.

Have a look at Regex and see if you can manage the redirect in one or two lines. The old and new urls might have a commonality you can use for regex. I haven't looked at a shopify site in a good while so I cant tell you where to write the redirects

At least 301 your category pages.
