What’s the best way to optimize pagination for better crawlability in an eCommerce store?

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on improving the SEO and crawlability of my eCommerce site, but pagination seems to be a tricky area. I want to ensure that search engines can efficiently crawl my product category pages without missing important content. I’ve read about using rel=prev/next, canonical tags, and XML sitemaps, but I’m still unsure about the best approach. I came across this eCommerce pagination guide that explains a few strategies, but I’d love to hear what’s worked for others here. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!
