10/12/2022, 8:54 PMI'm trying to redirect from a commerce category link to an external site. We don't have any products that can be sold online in this category, so I wanted to use our external learning center site for more details on the product. It doesn't look like I can put an absolute URL into the URL Fragment field on the Commerce Category record, so I am using a redirect from that link to our external site. The issue is, it only works if you click the commerce category link and then refresh the page. Is there a work around for this?

10/28/2022, 4:35 PMThe major issue I'm having with the Redirects in the UI is that I don't think I can redirect to an external domain. I'd like to point (redirect) the commerce category URL from www.jobrien.com (our SuiteCommerce domain) to a URL on landing.jobrien.com (our Hubspot blog domain)
