    Is their anyway I can duplicate the homepage and make it the shop page as well website.com/shop so basically just using the same page?

    I have tried to set in Woocommerce/Settings/Products and Shop pages and set our current homepage on it, but as I save it the homepage changes to the one we have on Shop page. Is their any other way to do this without damaging the SEO, because if I create two duplicate pages with the same content our google ranking might get affected

  • Hey there, @chrissa0917! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

    To have the shop page be the homepage need to set the same page as both the shop page and the homepage.

    If you need to change which page is the shop page you can do this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products, using the selector to choose the shop page and saving the changes.

    To choose the homepage:

    • Go to Appearance > Customize > Homepage settings
    • Choose “a static page” as the homepage
    • Use the selector to set the same page you set as the shop page as the homepage
    • Save the changes

    I hope this was clarifying. If you face any issues or have any questions, please let us know so we can assist you further.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hello @carolm29 thank you for your reply, what I meant was I want the shop page to be the current homepage and not the other way around. So the Static Page in the Homepage is still the Homepage and in the Woocommerce Section the Products, Shop Page should be the Homepage as well. I tried using that but the Shop page is the Homepage when I clicked on the Homepage the Homepage was somehow switched to what we have on the Shop page.

    I hope I made sense.

    Hi @chrissa0917,

    Thanks for getting back to us. I understand that you want to make your homepage the same as your shop page in WooCommerce, but you are facing some difficulties with the settings and the SEO implications. There are two possible ways to achieve what you want:

    • The first way is to set your shop page as your homepage in WordPress settings as mentioned by my colleague Carol. This will make your website.com/shop URL redirect to your homepage, which will display all your products.
    • The second way is to duplicate your homepage and set it as your shop page in WooCommerce settings. This will make your website.com/shop URL show the same content as your homepage but with a different URL. You can easily duplicate a page by going to Pages -> All Pages.

    Both methods have their pros and cons, so you should choose the one that suits your needs and preferences. However, you should be aware of the potential SEO issues that may arise from having duplicate content on your website. Duplicate content can confuse search engines and affect your ranking and visibility. To avoid this, you should use canonical tags to tell search engines which page is the original and which one is the duplicate. You can also use redirects to send visitors and bots to the preferred page.

    I hope this helps you resolve the issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to this thread and we’ll be glad to assist you further.
