Im new to shopify, and i want to rename my website such that in the browser, it shows “shop” rather than “products” in terms of renaming it in collections. How can I do this?
Hi @ktzn
Welcome to Shopify!
If you’d like to rename the “products” part of your URL to “shop” (e.g., yourstore.com/shop/product-name instead of yourstore.com/products/product-name), here’s what you need to know:
Unfortunately, Shopify doesn’t allow changing the default /products/ or /collections/ URL handles, as they are part of Shopify’s core URL structure. These base paths are fixed.
However, there are a couple of workarounds:
1. Create a Redirect
You can create a custom menu item or a redirect so users land on a page like yourstore.com/shop, which links to a collection or products page.
Steps:
-
Go to Online Store > Navigation
-
Choose the menu you want (like Main Menu)
-
Add a new item named Shop and link it to a collection or the “All Products” page (/collections/all)
Now, visitors will see “Shop” in your navigation and URL (yourstore.com/shop if you create a custom page or redirect).
2. Custom Page with Embedded Products
Alternatively, you could create a new page at /shop and embed your products there using Buy Buttons or custom code, but this requires some technical setup and doesn’t replace the /products/ structure for individual product pages.
Let me know if you have any questions!
