I  think you can't do that in default nop. You will need to source code customize ... write your own route

Why nopCommerce don't do it from box?
Structured URL is a necessary condition for good SEO.

If site don't like Google - the site does not need anyone!

Is anybody who have some solution this problem, or any suggestions how to solve it?

Thank for all.

nopCommerce includes everything you need for search engine optimization: Search engine optimization

Moreover, the product may belong to several categories.

It's all good!

But nopcommerce can not build structured URL using category path in product URL, isn't it?...

it worried me...

Thank...

I try to do it...
Work only for languageID=0 (default language)

After save product or subcategory, auto generated SEO name that contains full path to product.
If product has several categories, SEO name generated by using categories with minimal display Order.

Why would you need it anyway. The more complex architecture, the worse apt pagerank will reach your site. So try not to do that.

So just how do you go about enabling hierarchical URL:s with this plugin??
Like the OP I'm interested in having URL:s like domain.com/category-name/product-name.

Well, on a default installation with the sample data installed http://localhost/electronics/camera-photo/nikon-d5500-dslr takes you to the product.

during the test I did note that electronics/camera-photo didn't take me to the sub category so I'll look at that. but please do download and try it out, it works automagically.
