The founder of XS Net, where customers buy networking hardware across Australia, had just signed up for our Consulting plan. He was migrating 20,000 product URLs to Shopify, and the URL taxonomy was changing significantly - meaning old URLs wouldn’t simply map one-to-one to new ones. A web agency had quoted him $15,000 AUD just to handle the redirect mapping. Ash found Redirects.net organically and thought this might be a better way.
We sent our warm and friendly welcome message and Ash replied his site was launching in just a few hours. He hoped Redirects.net could come through as an 11th hour save for this critical migration.
Other companies would’ve said “We can help, but there’s a convenience fee for rush service.” Not us. We fired up a Slack channel and made sure Ash could use the app quickly - good news: it’s a very easy and intuitive platform.
We walked Ash through running his first URL match in real-time. We gave him pointers on how to prepare the data and let the intelligent matching algorithm do the rest. Once the data was prepped, Ash had his final matches back in his hands for all 20,000 URLs in less than 90 seconds. And the URL format for the match output is already pre-formatted for easy Shopify bulk import. All the live support Ash needed was included in the plan - no extra charges.
The result? XS Net launched with all 20,000 redirects properly configured, despite the complex taxonomy changes. No broken links. No $15,000 agency bill. Just $89 for the Consulting plan with unlimited URL matches and hands-on support.
Here’s what Ash had to say right after going live:
“Thank you again… I can’t believe I found such a powerful tool on Reddit!!!”
That’s the kind of launch story we love to be part of.
