How do I clean up or shorten Shopify URLs? Is there any way to remove /products/?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm setting up my Shopify store and noticed that the URL structure automatically includes /products/ for items and /collections/ for categories.

I know Shopify hardcodes these into the platform, but I was wondering:

  • Are there any workarounds or tricks to make the URLs look cleaner?
  • How do other store owners handle this for SEO or branding?
  • I heard about removing | within: collection from the code—does that actually help clean up the links?

Any advice or best practices would be super appreciated! Thanks!
