How to Set up REDIRECTS URL to URL when switching to HTTPS

[ashults74]

I will be switching from HTTP to HTTPS. I will be purchasing an SSL certificate first. Then afterward I'd like to redirect all my URLS from HTTP to HTTPS (for example:
http://www.mystore.com/outfit-for-girls
TO
https://www.mystore.com/outfit-for-girls
I'd like this done for every URL and IMAGE on my site. How would I do that?
Thanks!!

Hey Angela,

No redirects required. Your site will reindex with HTTPS://

Any incoming links from outside sources that are currently http:// will automatically pull https://

Oh my goodness that's great to hear! Does the same hold true for images I hope?

Typically the only images you need to worry about are the ones you may have manually added to a template, site content page, or titles & content header/footer using this format: http://www.somesite.com/imagepath.jpg. Since your "My Account" is secure that means you don't have any frame images manually specified as http:// which is good

Your prod images should be fine. The only way it wouldn't be is if you manually entered a product image from the web and specified the image path as http://www.somesite.com/imagepath.jpg All other prod images entered via 3dcart will automatically take https://

Thanks for clarifying! I'll be in touch after I purchase the certificate :)
