How Do I Create a Permalink in Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:15 pm

If you’re using Shopify to build an online store, you’ll need to know how to create a permalink. A permalink is a URL that points to a specific blog post, product, or page on your website. By creating a permalink, you can make it easier for customers to find the exact page they’re looking for on your site.

There are a few different ways to create a permalink in Shopify. The first way is to use the built-in permalink feature in the Shopify platform.

To do this, simply go to the page or product that you want to create a permalink for and click on the “Permalink” button in the upper right-hand corner. From here, you can enter the URL that you want to use for your permalink and click “OK.”

PRO TIP: If you are planning to create a permalink in Shopify, be aware that there is potential for broken links if you do not properly format your permalink. Make sure to use the correct characters and spacing when creating your permalink, or you may end up with a link that does not work.

Another way to create a permalink in Shopify is to use the “Slug” field when editing a page or product. The Slug field is located just below the Title field when editing a page or product. Simply enter the URL that you want to use for your permalink into this field and click “Save.”

You can also create a permalink by using the “Redirects” feature in Shopify. To do this, go to the “Online Store” section of your Shopify admin and click on the “Navigation” link.

Next, click on the “Add link” button and enter the URL of the page or product that you want to create a permalink for. Finally, enter the URL that you want to use for your permalink into the “Redirects To” field and click “Save.”

Creating a permalink in Shopify is easy and only takes a few minutes. By using one of the methods described above, you can make it easier for customers to find specific pages on your site.
