Remove /Pages From URL My Store

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user wants to remove ‘/pages’ from their Shopify store URLs (e.g., changing johnsapples.com/pages/pricing to johnsapples.com/pricing).

Key responses:

  • Direct removal not possible: Multiple respondents confirm that ‘/pages’ is a fixed part of Shopify’s URL structure. Shopify uses these prefixes to categorize content (/pages for regular pages, /product for products, /collections for collections).

  • Workaround suggested: One respondent recommends creating URL redirects through Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects. This allows creating a cleaner redirect (e.g., /pricing redirects to /pages/pricing), so visitors can use the shorter URL while Shopify maintains its structure behind the scenes.

  • Alternative solution: A video tutorial link was shared claiming to show how to remove ‘/pages’ and create custom URL structures, though details weren’t provided in the thread.

The discussion remains open regarding whether the video solution offers a genuine workaround beyond standard redirects.

Hi!
I am trying to setup my store and when I go and look at the url it always has /pages I just want it to be eg. johnsapples.com/pricing instead of johnsapples.com/pages/pricing. How would I remove that?

Hi @jaegersims

This is Victor from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App

So sorry but you will not be able to remove the /pages
Because that was fixed by the Shopify setting. The page is for Shopify know that your page belongs to Regular pages
So it will have /pages for regular page - /product for product page - /collections for collection page
And there is no way to remove that

Hope this can help you solve the issue

Best regards,

Victor | PageFly

@jaegersims ,

You cant edit the page URL. you can modify the page title only in the URL.

Hello @jaegersims

You cannot actually change the URL structure of a Shopify store. What you could do though, if your intent is to create a cleaner URL for sharing, is create a URL redirect. You can go to Online Store > Navigation, click on URL Redirects, and add a new redirect from /DIY to /pages/DIY. This way when a visitor uses the johnsapples.com/pricing link, they will be instantly redirected to the Shopify URL.

I hope the above is useful to you.

Kind & Best regards,
