Your understanding of the issue is a little incorrect. The confusion arises when your site configuration allows for the same page to exist either with or without a trailing slash. For example, if you are able to access “../store” and “../store/” on your site, this may cause issues with indexation.
To resolve this you can add a programmatic redirect in your .htaccess file to append or remove the slash via a 301 redirect and place a self referencing canonical tag on the page for the path that you chose. It doesn’t matter whether you have a trailing slash or not as long as only one version of the page is accessible.
