How Can I Change the URL of a Product Page?

"We will be answering ‘how can i change the URL of a product page?’ in this step-by-step guide."

Shopify has a default structure for product pages and you can modify almost each and every element with pretty much ease including the product page URLs.

Product page structure matters the most when we want them to rank on Google. URL is one important part of the page structure. Long and confused URLs won’t do any good for the SEO of your web store. We recommend short and optimized product URLs.

And not just product pages, you can change collection pages’ URLs too by changing their URL handle field. This manual prevents you from changing all collections’ predefined structure in Shopify. You can customize any collection page by not disturbing other URLs in Shopify.

In this blog post, we will be answering ‘how can i change the URL of a product page?’ by guiding you step by step.

What if I have product pages in bulk? Or how to edit product URLs in bulk?

Here we are listing a step-by-step process of editing product page URLs in bulk.

Step 1: Selecting products from admin
