Hello,
You can remove the URL by setting the checkout page to noindex.
Alternatively, you can use and customize this filter on your site to remove it from your sitemap:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function ( $url, $type, $object ) {
$urls_to_skip = array(
'https://www.yoursite.com/checkout-page'
);
if ( isset( $url['loc'] ) && in_array( $url['loc'], $urls_to_skip ) ) {
return false;
}
return $url;
}, 10, 3 );
