This one search returns two unrelated kinds of app in roughly equal number, which is worth knowing before the list below confuses you. Half are URL redirect managers, for when a page stops existing and its address should still lead somewhere useful. The other half are geolocation redirects, for steering a visitor to the version of the store that matches their country.

Shopify already covers part of each. There is a built-in redirect table that issues real permanent redirects, accepts a bulk CSV import and holds a very large number of entries; what it will not do is match a pattern, so every address has to be listed literally and anything involving query strings is unreliable. On the geolocation side, stores whose markets sit on their own domains or subfolders are redirected automatically already, while stores sharing a single domain only swap the content. Shopify is notably cool on forcing the rest: its own geolocation tool recommends rather than redirects, EU visitors are deliberately exempt from automatic redirection, and its developer documentation offers an automatic redirect as the bad example.

What to look for in a Link app

Work out which of the two you are actually shopping for: The symptoms are nothing alike. Broken links and lost rankings after a migration or a replatform are the first category. Visitors seeing the wrong currency or language are the second. Almost nothing in one list helps with the other problem, and buying across the two is how people end up with three apps.
For broken links, patterns are the product: Shopify's own table already does the literal list, and already takes a CSV, so a straightforward set of redirects needs no app at all. What it cannot do is express a rule: everything under an old path, everything matching a shape. If you arrived here with thousands of dead URLs from an old platform, that rule engine is the thing you are paying for.
For geolocation, check whether you need a redirect at all: If your markets already live on separate domains or subfolders, the redirect is happening without you. And forcing the rest has costs Shopify itself points at: location guessing from an address is unreliable when people use a VPN, and a visitor moved somewhere they did not ask to go is a worse experience than being offered the choice.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
