Shopify Menu Tutorial: Drop-Downs, Footer & Main Menu

Shopify Navigation

Here at EcomBack – we teach you what we know best. We’ll teach you about using Shopify and how you—a store owner—can implement these lessons and significantly improve your eCommerce business.

If you have a Shopify store, then you need to know how to link your collections to the Main Navigation menu. You can add anything you want to the main menu, whether that be collections, products, and other web pages.

Making a decision about online store navigation is important. Store owners need to think about how they want customers to find products and information about their eCommerce business.

A menu can direct and help navigate the customer to the categories and/or catalog of your shop, whether that be a separate section for apparel, jewelry, etc., as well as quick links to your blog posts, store policies, email links, and social media accounts.

The best part about this tutorial is that you don’t need to have any coding skills! EcomBack Shopify Experts help eCommerce business store owners create and manage navigation to link collections, products, and pages on Shopify. It’s really that easy.

By using our steps below, you can help customers find what they are looking for faster than ever before.

How to Set Up Navigation in Shopify:

  1. Click on “Online Store” on the left-hand side of the page, under “Sales channels.”
  1. Click on “Navigation.”
  1. In the “Menus” section, there can be a Footer menu and the Main Menu. Click on the main menu.
  1. Among your list of menu items, “Add menu item” to include a collection. The link and name should correspond to the collection you want customers to see on the main menu. For instance, in your “Collections,” if you have one for Apparel, then you should add a menu item that says “Apparel.”
  1. Then, save the menu by hitting the “Save” button on the top right.

Set up drop-down menus in your Shopify store:

You can use drop-down menus to group pages together and make it even easier for customers to navigate your online store. This is used when you have a lot of products, and you want to add them to a collection for organization purposes.

To make any of the main menu items into a drop-down menu, all you have to do is drag one of the items underneath another, making it a “two-level menu.” You can also make a three-level menu that requires you to repeat the step—drag a menu item underneath the item on the second level.

Make sure you save any changes.

Once your Shopify store is more navigable and organized, this can help with SEO, rankings, and more.
