These fields allow you to directly optimize your catalog's visibility on search engines

  • Meta title. The title that will appear on the search engines when a request is made by a customer
  • Meta description. A presentation of the product in just a few lines, intended to capture a customer's interest. This will appear in search results.
  • Meta keywords. Keywords that you must define in order to have your site referenced by search engines. You can enter several of them, separated by commas, as well as expressions, which must be indicated in quotation marks.
  • Friendly URL. Enables you to rewrite the web addresses of your categories as you wish. For example, instead of having an address such as
    http://www.myprestashop.com/category.php?id_category=3
    you can have:
    http://www.myprestashop.com/123-name-of-the-category .
    In this case, all you would need to do is indicate in the "Friendly URL" field the words that you wish to see appear instead of "name-of-the-category" separated by dashes.
    The "Generate" button makes it easy to produce a proper friendly URL based on the product name. Once generated, you can edit the URL produced if necessary.
Warning

Friendly URLs will only work if URL rewriting is enabled. You can do this in "SEO & URLs" preference page, in its "Set up URLs" section.

You will find more information on the "SEO & URLs" preference page in the "Understanding the Preferences" chapter of this guide.

At this point, you have finished adding your product, and it is available in your shop! If you chose to start the specific price at 1 unit, the discount is immediately visible on the product's page.

Tip

Checking the "Home" box enables you to highlight the product on your shop's homepage, provided your theme supports it. To remove a product from the Featured list, simply uncheck the "Home" box.
