🔗 Business-Friendly URLs

Why Business URLs Matter

Your business URL is your digital storefront address. Instead of sharing a complex UUID like:

❌ enginix.dev/seller/81bea5d3-239a-4e07-b2da-3b7b4931fab9

You get a memorable, branded URL like:

✅ enginix.dev/biz/your-company-name

Setting Up Your Business URL

Step-by-Step Setup:

Go to your Seller Profile Settings
Enable "Seller Profile" if not already enabled
Add your business slug in the "Business URL" field
Choose a slug that's:
- Short and memorable
- Includes your brand name
- Uses hyphens instead of spaces
- Contains relevant keywords

Best Practices for Business Slugs

✅ Good Examples
