SEF URL For Product Variants
Alejandro
Hello,
I know this is a possible feature that is on EasyStore's request list, and I need some insight on how to implement it without affecting the core of EasyStore.
Currently, a product with a variant is dynamically displayed in the URL through the parameter ?variant=[variant ID] for search engines and platforms such as Google Merchant or Meta Catalog. What would be the correct way to make a plugin that rewrites the path, for example, instead of:
mystore.com/shop-categories/coats/dapperdenim-t-shirt?variant=443
it would be:
mystore.com/shop-categories/coats/dapperdenim-t-shirt-size-l-color-taupe
Is it possible to develop this without affecting the EasyStore core?
Thank you
Toufiq

Accepted AnswerHello,
Thank you for your response.
I watched the video, but that's not the problem. In fact, EasyStore works perfectly for filtering.
My question, or rather my suggestion, is that I would like to be able to access a specific product and variant via a friendly URL. Do you understand what I mean?
Let's take the Allura template and this product as an example:
https://demo3.joomshaper.com/2023/allura/index.php/shop-categories/coats/dapperdenim-t-shirt
By default, the variant of that product is Size: S and Color: Taupe.
If I select Size: M, the URL changes to:
demo3.joomshaper.com/2023/allura/index.php/shop-categories/coats/dapperdenim-t-shirt?variant=440
My suggestion for EasyStore, or rather my requirement, is that if I have friendly URLs enabled, ?variant=440 should be removed and the URL should be:
The aim is to improve EasyStore's SEO and make it easier to integrate with Google Merchant or Meta Catalog.
Thank you
