+A slug is a unique identifier for your page. No two pages can have the same slug in a school. Hence, a slug is unique among product sales pages, community sales pages, and other custom pages you create.

+Every product and community that you create gets its own sales page. This comes in handy if you want to add additional information about your product for better conversion (and more sales).
+
+## Sales page URL
+
+If your product's title is `Demo Product`, the sales page's [slug](/en/website/introduction#understanding-page-slug) will be `demo-product` and the sales page's URL will be `/p/demo-product`.
+
+## Obtaining a sales page's URL
+
+Click on the **Share** icon next to your product/community's name in its dashboard to copy the sales page URL.
