Hi @TOC-MR ,
There will be 2 steps:
-
Link: https://theonlinecollective.nl/collections/growing-concepts-terrariums : It will be the link of the collection.
-
Link: /Terrarium : it will be the tag of the product in that collection.
Topic summary
A user seeks to restructure URLs for collections and products in their Shopify store (Trade theme) to create hierarchical paths. They want collection URLs to reflect parent/child relationships (e.g., /collections/jbl/speakers instead of /collections/jbl-speakers) and product URLs to include the full collection path (e.g., /collections/jbl/speakers/products/product-name).
Proposed Solution:
- A responder suggests using product tags to create filtered collection URLs (e.g.,
/collections/collection-name/tag-name) - For products, the format
/collections/collection-name/products/product-nameis achievable - This approach requires manual tagging of products and doesn’t automatically create hierarchical structures
Key Issues Identified:
- The tag-based method isn’t automatic and requires manual maintenance
- Tags appear in metadata, raising SEO concerns
- Navigation menus don’t automatically reflect these URL structures
- The solution lacks clear backend configuration rules
Outcome:
The original poster deemed the tag-based approach unsustainable from both workflow and SEO perspectives, reverting to a previous theme version. A YouTube tutorial link was shared as an alternative resource. The discussion remains unresolved regarding a scalable solution for hierarchical URL structures in Shopify.
