    Default How to shorten product URL

    Hi
    I need some advice here. I am trying to shorten my product URL's from this, https://www.MYSITE.com/index.php?mai...products_id=85, to something a lot shorter.

    I am using ZC 1.5.8a with bootstrap template.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    as long as you own mysite.com domain you could create your own shortener to shorten URL which have mysite.com in the URL and some suffix of course e.g.

    Code:
    mysite.com/;/&TREFGV(/%
