Shopify auto-generates handles and never cleans them up
When you rename a product in Shopify, the original handle stays. When Shopify detects a duplicate title, it appends -2, -3, or -copy-1. Over time your store fills up with URLs like /products/awesome-blue-t-shirt-final-v2-copy-1. There’s no bulk handle editor in Shopify, no duplicate detector, and fixing them one by one means managing 301 redirects you also have to set up manually.
Three steps from install to first fix.
Scan all handles
Hit Scan and AssetScope fetches every product’s current handle. Messy handles — those with -2, -copy, or long numeric suffixes — are automatically flagged for your attention.
Auto-clean or edit manually
Click “Auto-clean all” to generate clean, slugified handles from every product title at once. Or type a custom handle for any individual product — live duplicate checking prevents conflicts.
Apply in one batch
Review your changes in the preview table, then hit Apply. AssetScope updates every handle in sequence. Shopify automatically creates 301 redirects from the old handles.
Exactly what you’ll see inside the app.
Every change is previewed before it’s applied — select your products, configure your rule, and review the outcome before a single product is touched.
Everything in the tool.
Messy handle detection
Instantly surfaces handles that look auto-generated — those ending in -2, -copy, or containing long numeric suffixes that Shopify appended to avoid duplicates.
Auto-suggest from title
One click generates a clean, slugified handle from the current product title for every flagged product — no manual typing, no guesswork.
Duplicate detection
Before saving, AssetScope checks every new handle against your full catalogue and flags any collision — so you never accidentally break a product URL.
Inline editing
Every handle is editable directly in the table. Type a custom slug, see it validated instantly, then apply all changes in a single batch operation.
301 redirects automatic
Shopify creates a 301 redirect automatically every time AssetScope updates a handle via the API. Your old URLs keep working — no broken links, no lost SEO.
Filter flagged handles
View your entire catalogue or focus only on the flagged handles that need attention. Clean up a subset today and come back for the rest without losing your place.
