Create 404 Error Pages with Alternate Paths in B2C Commerce

Create error pages that let a customer get to the home page of your site, even if they experience a 404 error because they’re linking to an expired page or have a broken URL.

Alternate paths are exceptionally useful if you remove a landing or promotion page. Provide a 404 error page that lets the customer get to a new page or informs them that the promotion has ended.

Within Business Manager, download a template .zip file containing all error pages that are used in cases where the application server is down or doesn't respond in time. After you download the .zip file you’re free to customize the pages, rezip your work, and upload it.
