Here is an example of how you could replace a collection created on Shopify with a Tagalys smart collection without affecting SEO.

Create a new Smart collection on the dashboard. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-18-54-3308-PM.png?width=688&height=575&name=image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-18-54-3308-PM.png) - However, the URL needs to be updated as "/fall-dresses1" temporarily since the URL "/fall-dresses" already exists. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-02-36-9884-PM.png?width=688&height=571&name=image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-02-36-9884-PM.png) - Create and Publish the collection. ![](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-03-09-5220-PM.png?width=688&height=326&name=image-png-Nov-06-2024-06-03-09-5220-PM.png) - Update the URL of the Shopify Collection to "/fall-dresses2" and click save. A URL redirect for "fall-dresses" to "fall-dresses2" will be created automatically. ![Shopify - 7](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shopify%20-%207.png?width=688&name=Shopify%20-%207.png) - Now, update the URL of the Tagalys Smart Collection on Shopify to "fall-dresses". ![Shopify - 8](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shopify%20-%208.png?width=688&name=Shopify%20-%208.png) - The "Fall dresses" collection will now be redirected to the Tagalys smart collection page instead of the Shopify-created collection page. ![Shopify-1](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shopify-1.png?width=688&name=Shopify-1.png) - Once the frontend page of the collection is redirected to the Tagalys Smart Collection, the metadata of the new page needs to be updated so that it does not impact the existing Optimization.     - [Products](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Categories | Collections](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#categories-collections) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#general) - [Customizations](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#customizations) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/products?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Magento](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Onboarding](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#installation-and-onboarding) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/magento?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Shopify](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and Onboarding](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#installation-and-onboarding) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#general) - [Uninstallation](https://support.tagalys.com/shopify?hsLang=en#uninstallation) - [FAQs](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Client Data](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#client-data) - [Pricing](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#pricing) - [General FAQs](https://support.tagalys.com/faqs?hsLang=en#general-faqs) - [Integration](https://support.tagalys.com/integration?hsLang=en) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/a-b-testing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/a-b-testing?hsLang=en#a-b-testing) - [Collections merchandising](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product sequencing](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#product-sequencing) - [Global Sort Options (GSO)](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#global-sort-options-gso) - [Product pinning](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#product-pinning) - [Promotion/Demotion](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#promotion-demotion) - [Version Scheduling (Draft and historical versions)](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#version-scheduling-draft-and-historical-versions) - [A/B testing](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#a-b-testing) - [Other](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#other) - [Looks](https://support.tagalys.com/collections-merchandising?hsLang=en#looks) - [Search](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Search Results](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-results) - [Search Suggestions](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-suggestions) - [Search Analysis section](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-analysis-section) - [Search Accuracy](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#search-accuracy) - [Merchandised Search](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#merchandised-search) - [Other](https://support.tagalys.com/search?hsLang=en#other) - [Recommendations](https://support.tagalys.com/recommendations?hsLang=en) - [Markets and segments](https://support.tagalys.com/markets-and-segments?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard Reporting](https://support.tagalys.com/dashboard-reporting?hsLang=en) - [General](https://support.tagalys.com/general?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New-Tagalys-Black-Logo-Large-1.png?width=59&height=24&name=New-Tagalys-Black-Logo-Large-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://tagalys.com) Tagalys Support Center Copyright © 2026, Tagalys Inc
