I’m moving a business and am nearly finished with the website and set up but one thing I’m unclear on is how to handle the Redirects in the best way to avoid issues with search engines etc?
Main pages will no longer have /pages/, policies will no longer have /policies/ etc. Do I just bulk upload a sheet with old to new as soon as the domain transfer is complete and then submit new sitemaps to Google straight away?
In addition to this, we currently have specific directories such as /it-eu/ for international visitors but this won’t be set up before the transfer is complete so will just be standard URLs for now and no language translations.
I have not looked at how this is typically set up on wordpress so is the best option to add these to the bulk redirect and point them all to their standard URLs until international pates are created?
Thanks in advance.

Export your content out of Shopify, and upload it into WordPress. Try and make all the slugs the same, without the /pages/ portion. Use a plugin called “Redirection” and setup a rule for `/pages/(.*)` which redirects to `/$1`
Use a multilingual plugins for translated pages, as there are ‘under the hood’ things that need to happens, other than just translating the text on the page.
Of course, still setup GSC and submit your new sitemap.
