Hey @jsanchezh ,

You can change /collections/ to something like /categories/ or /store/ on Shopify using URL redirects or by customizing your theme’s code. Here’s how you can do it:

**Option 1: Using URL Redirects (Quick & Simple)**1. Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation.

  1. Click on “View URL Redirects” (usually at the top).
  2. Click “Create URL Redirect”:
  • In the “Redirect from” field, enter /collections/ (or the exact collection URL you want to change).
  • In the “Redirect to” field, enter /categories/ (or whatever new path you prefer).

This will redirect users seamlessly! But note: the original /collections/ will still technically exist—it’s just redirected.

Option 2: Editing the Code (Advanced Customization)

If you want to permanently replace /collections/ with /categories/ or /store/ in your site’s URLs:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes.
  2. Click on Actions > Edit Code.
  3. Open the snippets/collection-list.liquid or templates/collection.liquid file (whichever is relevant).
  4. Replace all instances of /collections/ with /categories/ or /store/.

:warning: Be careful here: If you’re not familiar with Liquid (Shopify’s coding language), back up your theme before making changes.
