description: How VendorDeck creates brand pages in Shopify, their addresses, and what it keeps up to date.
---

A brand page is an ordinary Shopify page with an empty body. The [Brand page content](/storefront/brand-page-content) block on the `brand` template fills it with the brand's logo, banner, text and products.

## Creating pages

- **Several brands:** on **Brands**, select them and click **Create pages**. VendorDeck creates the pages in the background, and a banner shows the progress, so you can leave the page.
- **One brand:** open it and click **Create page** in the **Status** card.

Your plan sets how many brands can have a page ([Plans](/help/plans#how-brand-pages-count)).

The page is titled with the brand's display name, and it's published if the brand is visible. It uses the `brand` template when your published theme has one, so [create the template](/getting-started/setup) first. A page created before that switches to it the next time you save a change to the brand.

## Addresses

Brand pages live at `/pages/brand-` followed by the vendor name, like `/pages/brand-nike-sportswear`. To leave out `brand-`, choose `/pages/{slug}` under **Settings > URLs > Brand page URL format**.

- The address comes from the vendor name, so a display name doesn't change it.
- If another page already uses the address, VendorDeck adds a number, like `/pages/brand-nike-2`.
- The format applies to pages created afterwards. To move an existing page, delete it in **Online Store > Pages**, click **Validate pages** on **Brands**, then create the brand's page again.

## What VendorDeck keeps up to date

Saving a brand updates its page's title, visibility, page title and meta description, so change those in VendorDeck rather than in **Online Store > Pages**. Your edits there are overwritten at the next save.

Don't change a brand page's handle in Shopify: VendorDeck then treats the page as no longer its own and stops updating it.

## Deleted pages

If a brand page is deleted in Shopify, VendorDeck notices when you open the brand, when you open **Brands** (at most once an hour), or when you click **Validate pages**. The brand then shows **No page** and can get a new one.

## The directory page

The setup guide creates the directory page ([step 4](/getting-started/setup)). After that, VendorDeck leaves it alone: rename it, edit its search listing or delete it in **Online Store > Pages**. If you delete it, **Show setup guide** on the Dashboard offers to create it again.
