Using product_type taxonomy in the product collection routes

[austriker27]

Hello!

I'm trying to match my current URL structure exactly for SEO purposes and having issues.

Basically for product there’s a product_type taxonomy I want to include the product URL

Here’s an example from a product:

product_type:
  - headwear

here’s the blueprint snippet for the product collection:

-
        handle: product_type
        field:
          type: terms
          taxonomies:
            - product_type
          display: 'Product Type'
          mode: select

Current live URL:
https://rainierwatch.com/shop/headwear/5-panel-logo-camper-hat/

I'm trying to replicate with this URL:
domain.test/shop/headwear/5-panel-logo-camper-hat
But I get a 404 page

I tried various things like changing the product collection URL in the CP but it always gives me the 404. And I also tried mounting the collection on the shop page.

I checked out the docs page and it mentioned it might not work to use shopify taxonomies on the frontend but it didnt go into specifics.

Is this possible?

I got it! The routes for products looks like this route: 'shop/{{type:0}}/{{slug}}'

Now I'm onto the next problem to solve 🤣... Getting types to use an URL like this:product-category/headwear/

Thanks for figuring that one out. Your next problem should be as simple as mapping product_type to your own product _category taxonomy.  SHOPIFY_TAXONOMY_TYPE="product_category" Mike Martin Designs ***@***.*** ***@***.***> 0413 780 407 <tel:0413780407>

Is this preferred to adding a route to the default taxonomy tag that came via shopify? (default was tag but I do prefer product_tag)

[mikemartin]

All Statamic taxonomies will automatically get a route of /taxonomy_name/{term} when you have a view template in /views/taxonomy_name/show.

Yeah, but is there a way to change the taxonomy route manually? Like can I use taxonomy tag with a route of product-category? I'm guessing thats not possible and I'll just have to change the taxonomy name.

There isn’t anyway to customise taxonomy routes at the moment.
