Integration with Weglot

If you use the Weglot Shopify app, you may face hreflang issues or overriding (which might lead to poor SEO) when setting up Hreflang Manager.

Hreflang tags that are created automatically by Weglot or similar apps can't be managed by Hreflang Manager. That is to say, once chosen Hreflang Manager to work with hreflang tags, you need to disable automatic hreflangs in Weglot.

How to add subdomains created by Weglot

By default, Hreflang Manager gets store language and country data from Shopify domain settings and not third-party apps.
So, when adding a store with subdomains created by Weglot, you should manually add store language and country in Hreflang Manager in the following way:

• Go to Stores or Step 2 of Installation instruction.
• Press the Advanced settings button, then Manage domains under the store which subdomains were created in Weglot.
• In the window opened, add the URL of a parent store and URL for all subdomain stores, then press Save.

When done, all the subdomains for a particular store domain will be visible on the Stores page of Hreflang Manager.

However, subdomains’ language and country settings are still pulled from the Weglot Shopify app and, therefore, should be managed in Weglot.

How to change store locale settings in Weglot

To change the language and country settings of your store locale previously set up by Weglot, you can:

• Log in Weglot app.
• Go to the Settings page in-app
• In the Main settings, change the Original and/or Destination languages.
• Go back to Hreflang Manager and check the Stores settings. The changes should be already applied.
