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 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.
