In case your site is linked properly, a map would increase the discoverability of the content of your store.

This is why OpenCart has a special feature that makes the whole process of creating a Google sitemap a lot easier and this step-by-step tutorial will guide you through it.

Thanks for the video, helped got it all setup in 2020 :) For anyone watching now there are a couple of slight changes to the process such as the validation (use URL method to get the .html) and the location of the sitemap feature (it's on the left menu not under Crawl) but it all still works the same.

Hi, I used your method but it says "Empty Sitemap" your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.
