Main Menu Navigation and Icons

Our themes allow you to have nested submenus in the main navigation. To add a submenu, create nested menu links with two or three levels in the Shopify admin.

The first-level menu items are reserved for your main, top-level categories. For example, your top-level menu items might be Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, and Jackets. You can use second-level menu items as titles of third-level menu items; otherwise second-level menu items will act as a link. When using the second-level menu as a title, we suggest linking these items with the same parent page. For example, you may want to filter your top-level selection in different ways, so your second-level menu items may be titles such as Category, Fabric, or Color. Place your links to each sub-collection in third-level menu items. For example, one sub-category may be Tops > Long-Sleeve Tops and you can link to your collection of Long-Sleeve Tops in the third-level menu. Another example may be Bottoms > Knit Fabric and here you would link to your collection of bottoms made in knit fabric.

1. To create or edit your main menu, Go to Online Store > Navigation in the Shopify admin.
2. Select the Main menu or the menu you want to edit.
3. Add a top-level link (for example: "Tops") in your Main menu that will open the submenu and contain the nested sub-links.
4. Add your second-level menu links and use the drag handles ⋮⋮ to move them under the top-level link.
   

   

5. Add your third-level menu links and use the drag handles ⋮⋮ to move them under the second-level links.
6. Click Save.

Once you choose the icon that you want to use, copy the icon name exactly as it appears and paste it inside the square brackets. Icon names are case-sensitive and must match exactly.
