Mega navigation

Header

Last updated 1 year ago

Was this helpful?

A Mega navigation menu displays menu links in multiple columns so customers can browse large catalogs quickly and easily. Add up to 3 sub-menus along with a featured image, text, and links to customize your mega nav.

Note | If you have multiple languages enabled, you need to add separate mega nav blocks for each language. After adding a mega nav block in your default language, set up by using translated link names for the Dropdown parent link.

Watch video tutorial

Watch the tutorial video below for a step-by-step walkthrough to set up your mega nav menus.

1. Create nested menu list

The mega navigation menu uses the Main menu selected in the Header section settings. For the mega navigation, you first need to create a nested menu with 3 levels of links.

We will look at the Lorenza Chic demo as an example:

In the Lorenza Chic demo, the top-level link is "Shop" with three nested sub-menus. Clicking the Shop link opens the mega navigation menu.

The 2nd-level links ("Shop by type" and "Shop by color") display as titles for each column and contains the 3rd-level links to collections.

We will look at the Lorenza Chic demo as an example:

In the Lorenza Chic demo, the top-level link is "Shop" with three nested sub-menus. Clicking the Shop link opens the mega navigation menu.

STEPS

In your Shopify admin:

  1. Click Navigation under Online Store in the admin panel.

  2. Select the Main menu or the menu you want to edit.

  3. Add a top-level link (for example: "Footwear") in your Main menu that will open the mega nav and contain the nested sub-menus.

  4. Add your 2nd-level menu links and use the drag handles ⋮⋮ to move them under the top-level link.

    In the Lorenza demo, the second-level links are "Shop", "Collections", and "Favourites".

  5. Add your 3rd-level menu links and use the drag handles ⋮⋮ to move them under the 2nd-level links.

  6. Click Save.

2. Add mega nav menus

Once you have created your nested menus, you can now add mega nav blocks to your Header in the theme editor.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click the arrow beside the Header section.

  2. Click the Add mega nav button.

  3. Enter the exact name of the top-level link (e.g. "Shop") in the Dropdown parent link field.

    If you have multiple languages enabled, you need to add separate mega nav blocks for each language. Duplicate the first mega nav block and enter the translated name of the top-level link for the Dropdown parent link. For step-by-step instructions, refer to Multi-lingual mega navs.

  4. (Optional.) Select or upload a Mega nav featured image to display inside the mega navigation menu. This image is not displayed on mobile.

  5. (Optional.) Underneath the featured image, add a Featured image caption, a Featured image link and link text.

    The caption and link are not displayed on mobile.

  6. (Optional.) Add Strapline text to the bottom of the mega nav menu. The strapline text is not displayed on mobile.

    Use the formatting buttons to add bold, italic, and linked text.

  7. Click Save.

Add multi-lingual mega navs

If your store has multiple languages, you need to add separate mega nav blocks for each language, and enter the translated link name for the Dropdown parent link.

For example, if your store has 2 languages (English and German), you will need 2 mega nav blocks. For the first mega nav block, use the default language for the Dropdown parent link (e.g. "Shoes"). For the second mega nav block, use the translated link name for the Dropdown parent link (e.g. "Schuhe" for German).

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click the arrow beside the Header section.

  2. Click on the mega nav block that uses the default language.

  3. Click More ... at the top of the block settings, and select Duplicate.

    The duplicated block settings will open after you click Duplicate.

  4. Enter the translation of the top-level link name in the Dropdown parent link field.

    For example, if the default link name is "Shoes", enter the translated link name "Schuhe" for German.

    You can check the exact word for the translated link by using the language selector in the theme editor preview.

  5. If your mega nav block has promotional text, add translations in the block setting or in your translation app.

  6. Click Save.
