After adding products and creating collections, webpages, store policies, or blog posts, you need to organize them on your online store so that customers will be able to find them.
When you're setting up your online store, you should think about how you want customers to find your products and information about your business. This will help you to make decisions about your online store navigation.
Our team of programmers, together with designers, came to a common denominator on the necessary options for navigation layouts to make searching of the desired content easier.
Our menu is compatible with any shop since the source for it is the default Shopify Navigations ↗ (opens in a new tab).
