Open graph tag settings
Open graph tag settingsWhat is Open Graph?
Open graph is a feature used by social media that allows customers to share or “like” a product details page from your site and share that information on Facebook, thus integrating the two into a more interesting and meaningful form of social graph.
Even if you have configured settings for Open Graph, settings are not implemented immediately and may take up to one week to be fully implemented.
For more information on how to use Open Graph, refer to the official guides by Facebook.
Open Graph meta tag settings
Unlike a regular hyperlink where only the link is posted, when a link to a product details page is posted on Facebook, it is posted in a form that includes a title, description, and a trimmed down image.
Enter appropriate values for each item’s meta tags.
og:image tag settings
If no image information is added to the product, the og:image tag will not be displayed.
Following the order of priority, if the parent image is not registered, the sub-image will be displayed instead.
Image priority - ① Product image > ② List thumbnail > ③ Gallery thumbnail > ④ Catalog thumbnail image
e.g. If neither the product image or list thumbnail are registered, the gallery thumbnail will be displayed.

Connect to specified path
Users and search engines will be taken to a specified page when attempting to access a nonexistent page.

Site map settings
Site map settingsWhat is a XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs within your site, along with other additional metadata about each URL (last updated, frequency of change, relative importance of each URL, etc.) to help search engine bots crawl through your webpages more effectively.
If there are no products being sold or displayed on your store, a sitemap will not be created. Ensure that there are products sold or displayed on your store before using the sitemap.
Indicate XML sitemap location to search engine bots
If you want to indicate the sitemap’s location to search engine bots, specify the XML sitemap file’s location in robots.txt
e.g. Sitemap - http://www.[primary domain].com/sitemap.xml
Enable site map
A sitemap is an XML file that contains a list of URLs collected within your site. If you select [Enable], you can create a sitemap.
Sitemaps will be completed and ready the following morning.

If a product is added or deleted from your site, this new information will be updated on the sitemap the following morning.
Sitemap path
You can view the sitemap path once the sitemap is created.
You can submit newly created sitemaps to search engines via Webmaster Tools.
Sitemaps act like maps for search engines, helping them to search your site more efficiently.

RSS feed settingsWhat is RSS (Really Simple Syndication)?
By placing an RSS feed file on your site and allowing visitors to access it, visitors can quickly view the latest new products on your store via an RSS reader program.
