Topic summary

A user wants to modify product URLs to include product name, SKU, and vendor information (format: DOMAINNAME.COM/products/PRODUCT-NAME-SKU/VENDOR) for approximately 1000 products.

Manual Method:

  • Edit each product’s URL handle in Shopify Admin under “Search engine listing preview” → “Edit website SEO”
  • Modify the URL handle field to desired format
  • Enable URL redirect checkbox to preserve old links
  • Save changes

Bulk Options Suggested:

  • Use Shopify’s Bulk Edit feature: Select products → Bulk Edit → Add “URL handle (SEO)” column → Edit handles for all selected products
  • Alternative: Export product CSV, write a script to automatically populate URL handles with product title and vendor, then re-import
  • Professional help available for a nominal fee if needed

Note: The bulk edit method still requires manual formatting for each product unless using a custom script/developer solution.

Hi there!

There’s actually a way to do this in bulk!

Bulk Edit URL Handles:1. Go to Products in your Shopify Admin.

  1. Select all the products you want to edit and click on Bulk Edit.
  2. In the top right, click on Columns and under SEO, add URL handle (SEO).
  3. You’ll now see the URL handle column and can bulk edit the handles for all selected products.

Alternatively:

You can export your product CSV, and we can write a script to automatically paste the product title and vendor into the URL handle field for each product. We can do this for a nominal fee, or if you have an in-house developer, they can also handle it.

Let me know if you’re interested!
