Clean URLs and slugs

The slug is the last part of a web address, for example blue-cotton-kurti in yourstore.in/blue-cotton-kurti.

Slugs are made for you

When you create a product, category, page, brand or blog post, CartWhizz makes a slug from its name: lowercase, with hyphens instead of spaces.

Change a slug

  1. Open the product (or category) in the admin.
  2. In the SEO card, edit URL Slug. Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only.
  3. Save.

CartWhizz automatically creates a permanent redirect from the old address to the new one, so shared links and Google rankings carry over.

Choose the address shape

My store → SEO → URL Structure lets you pick a style for each kind of page:

StyleExample
Flat/blue-cotton-kurti
Nested (products and categories only)/women/kurtis/blue-cotton-kurti
Prefixed/products/blue-cotton-kurti

Products default to Nested; everything else to Flat. Changing a style is safe: old addresses redirect to the new ones.

Tip: pick a style early and leave it. Redirects keep old links working, but Google takes time to catch up.
