Display Mega Menu

To showcase a Mega Menu on your Shopify store, you'll initially have to implement certain modifications within the Navigation section.

1. Go to Online Store -> Navigation and chose a menu to edit.

2. Add a new menu item or edit an existing one.

3. Add [is_mega] to the name field and hash sign (#) to the link field.

Note: Creating a Mega menu is possible only when you include a menu item labeled with [is_mega] within the Navigation.

4. Add a new menu item, type “empty” in the name field, and hash sign (#) in the link field.

5. Drag the empty item to the right to make it a submenu item.

6. Go to Online Store -> Themes -> Customize.

7. Choose and add a new block to the header.

Now, you can assign an item to any menu item in the navigation marked with [is_mega].

Display Simple Menu

To showcase a Simple Menu on your Shopify store, you'll initially have to implement certain modifications within the Navigation section.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. In the Shopify admin, go to "Online Store" in the left-hand sidebar and then click on "Navigation."
  2. Click the "Add menu" button to create a new menu. Give your menu a name, like "Main Menu" or "Header Menu."
  3. Click the "Add menu item" button. Enter the name of the menu item. This is what will be displayed on the menu. Enter the URL for the page you want the menu item to link to. This could be a collection page, product page, blog post, or any other page on your site.
  4. Organize Menu Items:
    • You can create sub-menus (dropdown menus) to organize your menu items further. Click and drag a menu item slightly to the right under another menu item. This will make it a sub-item of the one above it.
    • To rearrange menu items, simply click and drag them to the desired position within the menu.
    • To edit a menu item, click on it in the menu editor.
    • To delete a menu item, click "Delete" button.
  5. Before making your changes live, it's a good idea to preview them using the "Preview" button. If everything looks good, click the "Save" button again to publish your menu to your online store.
