Salesforce B2C Commerce URL Syntax Without SEO
To see the standard B2C Commerce URLs without search engine optimization, make sure that the URL Rules module is disabled. If you are using the deprecated SEO Support module, make sure it's also disabled.
URL syntax can be understood simply as a
protocol (http), host name
(www.sitegenesis.com), and path
(/electronics/tvs/promopage.html).
