Megamenu with collections
In the header, start by creating the main menu that serves as the primary navigation for your store. Once the main menu is established, you can add a mega menu with various layouts and designs to specific items within the main menu. This allows you to organize and display detailed submenus, enhancing navigation and user experience. Follow to the header settings article to check screenshot of main menu.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Item name | Specify the name of the navigation menu you want to connect to the collection's menu view. Refer to the screenshot below for guidance. |
| Collections color scheme |
Choose color scheme for collections. A color scheme consists of a predefined set of colors you can apply to this section for consistent styling. These schemes are created in the Theme Settings and are available across all sections, making customization faster and ensuring a cohesive color system throughout your store.
