Change Store View by Referer URL

Did you know that you can load a store view depending on the website referer you came from?

For example if I wanted to load my UK store view on mywebsitesshop.com because my customer visited from mywebsite.co.uk I could do this easily by adding a little piece of htaccess code.

What you’ll need is this:

SetEnvIf Referer mywebsite.co MAGE_RUN_CODE=myuksitecode
SetEnvIf Referer mywebsite.co MAGE_RUN_TYPE=store

Put that at the top of your htaccess file and make sure that “myuksitecode” matches up with the identifier you have for your store view.
