It would be helpful to be able to create custom URLs for categories in our ecarts versus having to use Google URL shorteners when directing people to these items. We send out press releases and often have items in our ecart that we are encouraging people to register for (various events), and having a custom URL would make it easier for people to find these ecart items rather than them having to search through our website.
We require specific URL's to make sure all data ends up in the correct place. We have no plans to change this functionality at this time.
