Shopify already builds this. Every store automatically generates a sitemap file listing products, their primary image, pages, collections and blog posts, and it is really a sitemap index that links to a separate file per resource type. It updates itself. What you cannot do is edit it: unlike robots.txt, it is not a theme template, so there is no file to open.

Removing something from it happens elsewhere. Shopify's documented route is to mark the resource unlisted or set the SEO hidden metafield, which hides the page, blog post or product from sitemaps, search engines and your own store search at once. Keeping a template out of the index is a Liquid conditional you paste into the head of your theme. Both work and neither is comfortable to do across a large catalog, which is the first honest reason to install something here.

The second is that the word means two things. Half these listings generate an XML file for crawlers, duplicating something you have. The other half build an HTML sitemap page for people, which Shopify does not provide at all. Worth knowing which you are shopping for, and worth remembering Google's own caveat that a sitemap helps discovery and does not guarantee anything is crawled or indexed.

What to look for in a Sitemap app

Which of the two you actually want: A page a visitor can browse, or a file a crawler reads. If it is the second, be clear about what the app adds over the file Shopify already maintains, because the answer is sometimes nothing.
Noindex without touching theme code: This is the durable value. Look for a list of your pages with a switch each, bulk selection, and a record of what is currently hidden, rather than instructions that end with editing your theme.
What happens on uninstall: If the app writes hidden flags or theme snippets, find out whether removing it reverses them. Pages left invisible by an app you no longer have is an expensive kind of quiet.
Monitoring, not just generating: The genuinely useful version of this category watches what happens after submission: which URLs are indexed, which dropped out, which are excluded and why. That is a different product from a file generator and priced differently.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
