Navigation menu
Navigation menu is a key part of your store's user experience, linking to specific pages, products, or collections. It helps customers easily browse, find what they need, access information, and make purchases. A well-organized and efficient navigation system boosts user satisfaction, reduces bounce rates, and increases conversions.
Default menu navigation
Every online store typically has two default menus, one at the top and one at the bottom of each page:
- Main menu: This is the core navigation, usually located at the top of your site, allowing users to quickly access key pages like products, categories, and brand information.
- Footer menu: Located at the bottom of your site, this menu includes links to customer service, store policies, social media, and more. While less visible than the main menu, it’s still important for building trust, improving the shopping experience, and boosting SEO.
| Menu type | Menu items |
|---|---|
| Main menu | "Shop", "Products", "Contact us" |
| Footer menu | "Search", "Do not sell or share my personal info" |

In addition to the default menus, you can add custom menu items that link to pages like your search page, homepage, product collections, products, blog posts, policies, and more.
