README

Single Page Variants is a Shopware 6 plugin that changes how URLs for product variants work. Instead of giving each variant its own SEO URL, only the main product has one.

When a user selects a variant on the product page, the plugin loads the new product data using AJAX. This means the page doesn’t reload, and the URL stays the same.

Features

• Only the main (parent) product gets an SEO URL.
• Variants no longer have their own URLs.
• The product page updates using AJAX when switching between variants.
• Sitemap includes urls for parent pages, not for specific variant pages.
• Avoids SEO issues with multiple URLs for similar content.

How It Works

• Variant Switcher:
  The plugin changes the variant switcher (product configurator) so it uses AJAX to load the selected variant’s data without reloading the page.

• Switch Route:
  The controller for the switch route is updated to return the full product detail HTML directly, instead of redirecting to a new variant URL.

• URL Handling:
  Variant URLs are replaced with their parent product’s URL using a custom SeoUrlPlaceholderHandler.

• No SEO URLs for Variants:
  The plugin stops Shopware from generating any SEO URLs for variants by extending the ProductPagePageSeoUrlRoute.

When to Use This

• You want simpler, cleaner product URLs.
• You don’t want each variant to have its own page.
• You want a faster, more dynamic product page experience.

Compatibility

• Shopware 6.6
• Not recommended if other plugins or custom code depend on variant-specific URLs. Your mileage may vary.

Installation

You can install the plugin through the Shopware Administration, or use the command line:

composer require laenen/sw6-single-page-variants-plugin
bin/console plugin:install --activate LaenenSinglePageVariants
