Setting up a store-like url structure in Wordpress with custom taxonomies and terms for a custom post type

Question

Abstract

I've been tasked to figure out how to use the Wordpress Rewrite API to create a URL structure that can filter posts of a products custom post type. When passing terms of taxonomies through a URL structure Wordpress would natively filter the products posts and return the results to the archive-products.php template.

Example data set of taxonomies and their terms of products

• Solutions

  • Broadband
  • Enterprise

• Series

  • Express
  • Optical Lan

• Industries

  • Business
  • Education
  • Higher Education
  • Healthcare

• Tech

  • Advanced Operations
  • Internet
  • Legacy Services

Examples of desired URLs

1. products/solutions/broadband,enterprise/series/express/industries/business,education
2. products/industries/tech/internet/solutions/broadband,express
3. products/solutions/broadband

The above is just an idea for a structure any others are more than welcome.

Problem

Due to my lack of regex skills I'm not sure what is possible or not. Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Go through the below code. It's may help you.

function generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite ) {
  $rules = array();
  $post_types = get_post_types( array( 'name' => 'products', 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false ), 'objects' );
  $taxonomies = get_taxonomies( array( 'name' => 'Solutions', 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false ), 'objects' );

  foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
    $post_type_name = $post_type->name; // 'product'
    $post_type_slug = $post_type->rewrite['slug']; // 'products'

    foreach ( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
      if ( $taxonomy->object_type[0] == $post_type_name ) {
        $terms = get_categories( array( 'type' => $post_type_name, 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy->name, 'hide_empty' => 0 ) );
        foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
          $rules[$post_type_slug . '/' . $term->slug . '/?$'] = 'index.php?' . $term->taxonomy . '=' . $term->slug;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  $wp_rewrite->rules = $rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'generate_taxonomy_rewrite_rules');
