Submitting a Sitemap
A Sitemap is a file that assists Google and other search engines in understanding the structure of your website’s content.
When you set up your store, SHOPLINE automatically creates a sitemap for each store. Your sitemap can be accessed at “www.com/sitemap.xml”.
You can perform the following steps to submit your sitemap:
-
Log in to Bing Webmaster Tools and go to the Sitemaps section > Submit sitemap.
-
In the Submit Sitemap section, enter your store’s unique URL followed by “/sitemap.xml”, and click Submit. For example, if your URL is “www.abc.com”, enter “https://www.abc.com/sitemap.xml”. If your URL is shop.def.com, enter "https://shop.def.com/sitemap.xml".
-
Once submitted, you can view the status in the Sitemap URL section. If it displays Success, it means you have successfully submitted the sitemap.
