How to Create Navigation Menus in Shopify
Build a main menu, drop-downs and a footer menu that help shoppers find products in two clicks.
Navigation is the difference between a store that feels organised and one that feels like a maze. Aim to get any customer from the homepage to a relevant collection in two clicks.
Open Navigation
Go to Online Store, then Navigation. You will see your main menu and footer menu.
Add menu items
Click your main menu, then Add menu item. Name it as a customer would and link it to a collection, page, product or policy.
Create drop-downs
Drag an item slightly right underneath a parent item to nest it. Two levels is usually enough.
Build the footer menu
Put policies, contact, FAQ and shipping information in the footer where shoppers expect them.
Test on mobile
Open your store on a phone and tap through every menu item. Most traffic will use this version.
Use plain labels
Shop All beats Discover, and Walking Boots beats Collection 2. Clarity converts.
