How to enable SEO URLs in AbanteCart

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is an essential practice to ensure your store ranks high with major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and others.

As the name suggests, search engine friendly URLs can be parsed more easily by search engines, helping their algorithms understand the type of content held on each of your store’s web pages. Using AbanteCart’s search engine friendly URLs simplifies the store’s URLs so, for example, a URL like https://www.mystore.com/index.php?rt=product/product&product_id=120 becomes https://www.mystore.com/jersey-cotton-striped-polo-shirt.

To enable search engine friendly URLs in AbanteCart, head to System -> Settings -> System in the administration dashboard.
