Why do product handles end with numbers in my CSV file?

[merryprintables]

Hi!

I was duplicating products so I can launch the soonest when I noticed the URLs of each item having the ‘copy of’. So I import the CSV file to edit it in bulk.

I understand that the one in the title will be the one that appears in the handle. The only difference is that in the handle, the space would be represented with a dash. Almost all of my products have ‘handles’ written this way. But I get confused when a number of my products have ‘handles’ ending in numbers.

I have products with ‘handle’ ending in 1 and some ending in 2. What do the numbers mean?

Hi @merryprintables

If you have 3 products with the same name then the URL will have 1 & 2 at the end.

For ex: The 3 URLs will be like this

xyz.com/abc

xyz.com/abc-1

xyz.com/abc-2

On Shopify, you can edit any of your URLs. At the bottom of each product there is a “URL handle” field, which you can edit at your discretion. It’s the same with the headers, you can change them.

1 and 2 these numbers are added automatically when you have the same url. Write different names and descriptions of your products
