Thanks!")* Don't use Xmap any longer, it's not supported. We recommend JSitemap Pro, although it does take a bit of a learning curve the first time. You can have every product and category, with canonical URLs, from HikaShop populate your sitemap.

I don't believe that my SuperUser privileges gives me enough rights to work with this kind of thing, as I don't have access to even the file "Robots.txt other then through the HikaShop Global Config.
