how to change this url :
https://makerlab-electronics.com/collections/all
to this url:
Topic summary
A user wants to change their URL structure from /collections/all to /products on their MakerLab Electronics site.
Key clarification: The correct URL is /products (plural), not /product (singular). Using the singular form results in a 404 error.
Important limitation: The prescribed URL structure of the online sales channel cannot be directly modified.
Suggested solutions:
- Set up URL redirects through the admin panel
- Consider deleting the
/allcollection if redirecting that specific endpoint - Implement client-side redirects via theme customization using:
- Meta refresh tags in the page
<head> - JavaScript
- The
return_toparameter in menu links
- Meta refresh tags in the page
Note on URL behavior:
/productsdisplays all products/collections/shows lists of collections
These pages serve different purposes and should be kept distinct.
!Important there is no /product (singular) url, only /products (plural)
If you point to /product (singular) that will be a 404 page with no content. You cannot modify the prescribed url structure of the online sales channel itself.
Creating redirects here

For specific endpoints like that you may have to delete the /all collection in the admin as well.
There’s also using client-side redirects through theme customization using either meta refresh in the of the page or using javascript, or using the return_to parameter in urls such as menu links.
Keep in mind those pages are doing two very different things/
/collections/al shows products
/products shows lists of collections
