Best regards, Jethro.")* Hi, Your issue is related to the SEF. In the HikaShop configuration, you will find some settings to customize the SEF [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ig.html#features\_sef](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/54-hikashop-config.html#features_sef) Like the option "Remove products and categories id in URLs" to remove the ID of the products and categories in the URL. But be careful with the setting "Activate smaller url" which provide smaller URL but will remove some useless information in the URL.
