Menu types

Your online store comes with two default menus that are visible on every page: the main menu and the footer menu. You have the option to add, remove, or edit menu items within these default menus.

Main Menu:

The main menu is present on every page of your online store. It's typically displayed as items across the header's width or as a list in a sidebar. Customers usually use the main menu to navigate to your products and find information about your business, like an “About Us” page.

By default, your main menu includes two items:

  • Home: Directs users to your online store's main page.
  • Catalog: Leads to a page displaying all your products.

You can also create drop-down menus from any main menu item. These sub-menus are usually displayed as lists of items connected to the main menu item. 

Footer Menu:

The footer menu is typically shown as items across the footer's width. Customers often refer to the footer menu to find information about your store policies and contact details.
