  • Click "Add Menu Item" and enter a Name (e.g., "Shop," "About Us," "Contact").

  • Click Link and choose a destination:

  • Home – Links to the store’s homepage.

  • Collections – Directs to a collection of products.

  • Products – Links to a specific product.

  • Blog Posts – Links to a blog article.

  • Custom URL – Add any external or internal link.

  • Click Add to confirm the menu item.

Creating Dropdown Menus (Submenus)

  • To create a submenu, drag and drop a menu item below and slightly to the right of another menu item.

  • This helps group related items under a main category (e.g., "Shop" > "Men's Clothing", "Women's Clothing").

  • Click Save Menu

Assigning the Menu to Your Theme

  • Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize.
