Put URLs into the sitemap on Shopify
Why it matters
The sitemap is valid but lists no pages, so it gives search engines nothing to use. Usually the generator is set to exclude everything or finds no public content.
The fix
Not possible on Shopify. Shopify builds the sitemap from your published products, collections, pages and blog posts and you cannot edit it. A store with no published content, or one that is password protected, gives an empty sitemap; publish content and remove the password under Online Store, Preferences.
