Hello.

I'm working on an e-commerce store built on Wordpress/WooCommerce.

Some of the products have the same name but have different variations. For example, if the product was "ugly Christmas sweaters" but there were 20 different designs of "ugly Christmas sweaters", the URL would be: www.website.com/product/ugly-christmas-sweater

If you had several different designs but the product name were all "Ugly Christmas Sweater", how would you create URL variations? If I create the exact same URL, then it will become /product/ugly-christmas-sweater-2, /product/ugly-christmas-sweater-3, etc

I tried creating URL parameters, adding a SKU to the URL but still not sure the best way to create the URL for the same products.

Thanks.
 
As URL, you can use the feature that is making the variation; for example say variation is due to color:
/product/ugly-christmas-sweater-blue
/product/ugly-christmas-sweater-green

Yeah, that's what I was thinking I would do and will probably end up doing. It's just different because colors are set as attributes so the issue is if I have 20 different Santa designs that are all for ugly Christmas sweaters, then it becomes:

/product/ugly-christmas-sweater-santa-falls
/product/ugly-christmas-sweater-santa-sledding
/product/ugly-christmas-sweater-santa-gifts
 
In the URL, there must be symbols that describe your product. So it is much easier to promote it.
