Bing redirect errors for Volusion product URLs

Bing has rejected Volusion merchants' ProductURLs for having redirects. The default ProductURL on a Volusion import reads as follows:

http://www.teststore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=[ProductCode]

To resolve this issue, please add 'pe.ProductNameShort' to your import and create the following custom rules within your Bing feed.

Rule #1: SEO-Friendly URL when [ProductNameShort] is empty


If you have 'Enable Search Engine Friendly URLs' activated in your Volusion store, the default product links will redirect and cause an error on Bing.

    1. Visit Step 4 of the Bing feed and click 'Add' to create a new rule

 

    1. Set '[F]. [link]' to 'your base URL' + 'product-p/' + '[P]. [ProductCode]' + '.htm'

 

    1. Apply the condition when '[P].[ProductNameShort]' is empty

 

    1. Click 'Save'



Rule #2: Custom SEO-friendly URL when [ProductNameShort] is NOT empty



    1. Add 'pe.ProductNameShort' to the API Path in the GoDataFeed import settings and trigger a new import.

 

    1. Visit Step 4 of the Bing feed and click 'Add' to create a new rule

 

    1. Set '[F]. [link]' to 'your base URL' + '[P].[ProductNameShort]' + '-p/' + '[P].[ProductCode]' + '.htm'

 

    1. Apply the condition when '[P].[ProductNameShort]' is not empty

    1. Click 'Save'

 

    1. Click the Replace Text Text Replace Iconicon.

 

    1. Replace space ' ' with a hyphen '-'
      volusion-text-replace

 

    1. Click 'Save'
