URL Settings

Clicking on Store > URL Settings opens a dialog box where you configure all of the paths on your site, a useful feature for search engine optimization. Search engine friendly URLs is a big topic, so we recommend doing some research in order to decide what is best for your store.

URL setting options

  • Front page URL: Path for the store's front page. Leave this field blank to display your store's front page on your blog's homepage.
  • Default categories: Path for all category pages.
  • Product URLs:  The following 4 fields control the paths of product related URLs. Each field must be configured differently so no URL paths conflict.
    • Product detail page: Path for a single product's detail page.
    • Product image: Path for a single product's image.
    • Product thumbnail: Path for a single product's thumbnail image.
    • "Buy" link: Path for a product's "Buy" URL. This is the URL that will take your website visitor from your site to the merchant's website when they click the "Buy" button.
  • Products by tags: Path for all tags pages. These are pages that display a listing of products tagged with a specific tag.
  • Search page: Path to the search page.
  • CSS file: Path to the store's CSS file.
  • Legacy URL support: Set how URLs in Datafeedr 1.5.x style should be supported (Full, Redirect, or None).
  • Slug words separated by: Set how words should be separated in the URL, Underscore or Dash. For example, for the category "Rock Climbing", you have 2 options: Underscore (rock_climbing), or Dash (rock-climbing).

Important

Settings can potentially conflict with each other, so be sure to test your configuration by clicking the "Test" button at the bottom of the dialog box.
