We have recently moved over from Expression Engine to Shopify, need more apps thatn expected to get the functionality I need but the E commerce functionality seems good.

So the presvious website we had route/qr and this is on the side of the packaging alomg with a Qr code for the same address, and holds tutorial video in the products use.

I've gone through the process of connecting my route domain.com to the ....myshopify.com address, so how the hell do I now get route domain.com/qr ?

I only seem to be able to create domain.com/page/ something, which seem ridiculous, surely many people using Shopify need to be able to have seperate sections elsehwere, forwards or redirects etc.?

Please please this is not good, and I've spent week creating the new Shopify site, but this part is imperative.

    You got that right. Perhaps the biggest limitation of all with Shopify is the inability to create your own URLs. Shopify is great for a brand new store where it really doesn't matter what the URL is, but when you are moving a site over to Shopify, you will have to do a TON of 301 re-directs from the old URLs to the new Shopify-created ones if those old URLs ranked well and especially if they had a bunch of links.

      No, there is not a way to change the Shopify URLs. The important thing is to make sure that your old URLs re-direct to the new Shopify URLs. Shopify has a tutorial about that here - https://help.shopify.com/manual/migr...y/url-redirect
