Getting started

1. Install Relink

Open the Relink listing on the Shopify App Store and click Add app. Shopify will ask you to approve the permissions Relink needs to read and update your products, collections, pages, blog posts and URL redirects.

2. Run your first scan

Once installed, you’ll land on the dashboard. Click Run first scan to start. A typical 500-product store takes two to four minutes; large catalogs can take longer.

1. Click "Run first scan"Relink starts the scan and shows a live progress bar.
2. Wait for the scan to finishYou can close the tab — the scan keeps running.
3. Review broken linksThe dashboard lists what was found.

3. Review what it found

Every broken link gets a row in the dashboard table. Click its address to open the side drawer with Relink’s suggestion, the pages where the link appears, and actions to apply, change or ignore it.

4. Apply your first fix

Click a broken link, review the suggestion in the drawer, and click Apply to this page (or Apply to 12 pages when the link is on 12 pages). Relink does two things:

• Changes the link on the pages you chose (product descriptions, pages, blog posts, collection descriptions) to point at the new page.
• Creates a native Shopify URL redirect so any external traffic — backlinks, search results, cached pages — lands on the right page.

What to read next

Now that you’ve shipped your first fix, the rest of the docs go deeper into individual features:

• Running a scan — what gets crawled, how the queue works, past scans.
• AI suggestions — how suggestions are picked and what the confidence score means.
• Fix modes — switch between Suggest and Automatic fixes, or send every link to a fallback page.
