Navigation Menus and Links

You can help customers to navigate your online store by using menus to organize your products, categories, web pages, and other content areas. Your online store has two default menus that are displayed on every page: the main menu and the footer menu.

The appearance and location of menus depend on your store's theme.

Main Menu (Top Menu)

Top menu appears in header throughout the website across all pages. This has to be managed carefully with the most appropriate style and with most important links added to it.

You can add menu items to link to a few destinations:

  • Default Pages
  • Product Categories
  • Custom Pages

  5. Change the Link Title if required

    • List Menu (Categories + Sub categories)

    • Mega Menu (Categories + Sub categories)

Footer Menu

Your website footer is important too. You can utilize this space by adding any short marketing content or simply adding a menu with those pages links that are not part of the top menu.

You can categorize footer links in Columns and Headings. Each column can have one or more headings. Each heading can have multiple links.

horizontal space is available for links. Adding additional columns may affect
