Should I add services in the product list?

Topic summary

A Shopify newcomer is building a beauty salon site where each service needs its own page and wonders whether to model services as Products versus standalone Pages, and how to handle custom content (FAQs, larger content blocks). They also ask if the URL can be /services/nails instead of /products/nails.

Advice provided: using Products for services is acceptable, as customers care about the service, not the URL. This approach lets the owner add services easily and organize them via Collections.

For per-service custom content, the recommendation is to create and assign unique product templates per service. Product templates let each product page have its own layout/sections (e.g., service-specific FAQs). A Shopify help link is provided on applying new templates.

Unresolved/remaining questions: changing the URL path from /products/… to /services/… is not addressed. The alternative of creating individual Pages for each service remains possible but would require manual editing per page.

Status: guidance given (use product templates); discussion remains open on URL customization.

I am very new with Shopify and just helping a friend. For this site, it is just a landing page for a beauty salon to sell multiple services, and each service should have its own page.

My question is… is it wrong to put each service as a product? The reason I put it here is so that the owner can easily add new services in the Products page and add it quickly to the collections. However, I have having trouble with the product page template, because it is not just the product details that is different, there are other custom information like FAQ questions… I have seen other similar service-based sites just creating individual page for each service and editing each one manually. Should I do that instead?

If I don’t change the way I do it… is there any way I can change the URL of the product page? Right now it is website.com/products/nails but it makes more sense to do website.com/services/nails

Your customer will not concern your URL, they concern your service so it is ok to add your service as a product

But how do I add other custom information like FAQ sections and a bigger content block for each product? The product part only allows simple information like description and price. Each service has its own FAQ and other content, not the same for every page.

You must add new product template for each product. Please check this to learn more
