How to Fix Redirect Chains on Shopify & WooCommerce

{%- comment -%}
  Shopify redirect management is done via Admin UI,
  not code. Here's a bulk redirect cleanup approach:

  1. Export your redirects:
     Admin → Navigation → URL Redirects → Export

  2. Open the CSV and look for chains:
     If redirect_to value appears in redirect_from column,
     that's a chain.

  3. Fix chains in the CSV:
     Update redirect_to to point to the final destination.

  4. Re-import the cleaned CSV.
