Thanks, Birgit")* Hi, There is not really a solution for that within HikaShop. The way joomla works we have to have different links if you come from different places. A possibility is to use a SEF redirection extension to make sure that you always have the same URL. For example, you could try that extension: [ extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-ma...url-redirection/7189](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/url-redirection/7189) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzUzNzgwLWF2b2lkaW5nLWR1cGxpY2F0ZS1wYWdlcy0xLXVuaXF1ZS1wcm9kdWN0LXVybD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[Schilderij](/forum/user/7825-schilderij "View Schilderij's Profile")** - [![Schilderij's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/7825-schilderij "View Schilderij's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/7825-schilderij) Less More - Posts: 5 - Thank you received: 0 - - 14 years 4 months ago [\#54748](#54748) by [Schilderij](/forum/user/7825-schilderij "View Schilderij's Profile") Replied by *[Schilderij](/forum/user/7825-schilderij "View Schilderij's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Avoiding duplicate pages: 1 unique product URL](/forum/4-how-to/53780-avoiding-duplicate-pages-1-unique-product-url#54748 "First of all, thanks for making Hikashop available.

Thanks, Birgit")* Thanks Nicolas! This extention works perfectly for redirecting to the proper product pages from most areas. Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for the links at the checkout page and in the cart, so I removed those links entirely. All good. One request: using this extention is still not good for SEO as the bot will still see all the different URLs. Lots of people will depend on how well the shop is found in the search results, so mabye this could be considered in the next update?

Thanks, Birgit")* Even though the links are the different ones, since they redirect to the new URL thanks to that extension, google bots are smart enough to know that they need to use the new links and it won't be a problem for SEO as far as I know.
