-- HikaShop version -- : x.x.x
-- Joomla version -- : x.x
-- PHP version -- : x.x.x
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : XXXXX x.x.x
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error_message

Latest versions.

I don't understand what I have to add if product url and goed or not I added canonical url's....

I have in main menu "KADOOTJES" (Gifts). This page shows all products (overview). On right I have two modules from hikashop: Prices categories and product categories (the same product is showing in three or four categories).

For example,
product "Tas-/Sleutelhanger Open Hart". I can reach this page through three url's:
1. www.adrialle-cadeau.com/kadokadootje/kad...utelhanger-open-hart -(from main menu)
2. www.adrialle-cadeau.com/kadokadootje/cat...utelhanger-open-hart -(from category "key chains")
3. www.adrialle-cadeau.com/kadokadootje/gew...utelhanger-open-hart -(from price category )

The first url I added us CANONICAL when I created this product.
What url I have to add to URL line?

Please, tell me what is the best for SEO.

Thanks, vero

Hi,

Canonical is indeed for SEO improvement. The URL field is to set the external url of the product on the manufacturer website.
e.g: You sell the product ABC of the brand XYZ, so you can set the url of you product on the brand website which could look like: XYZ.com/product/ABC

Yes, in this case you have nothing to add in the url field.

Regarding the canonical, you have to set one valid url to your product page.
It's useful in case of you have many urls for one product, for example if you can reach it from different menus.
The canonical url add code in the header of the page, by this way the bot will only take this url for the seo, and not each urls for one product.
