Header & Navigation

Mega Menu

The mega menu turns a menu item with sub-items into a large multi-column dropdown.

Build the menu structure

Go to Online Store → Navigation and open your main menu. Nest items to create columns:

  • Top-level item (e.g. Jewelry) → opens the mega menu
  • Second level (e.g. Rings, Necklaces) → becomes a column heading
  • Third level (e.g. Gold rings) → links inside that column

Mega menu settings

In the Header section, under Mega menu:

Setting What it does
Use mega menu layout Turn off to show simple single-column dropdowns instead.
Mega menu width Standard or Wide.
Style Columns (with images) or Minimal (centered links).
Background color / Text color Leave empty to use your theme colors.
Inner padding · Space between columns · Space between links Fine-tune the spacing.

Add a promo image

  1. In the Header section, click Add block → Mega menu promo.
  2. Enter the Matching menu item title — it must match the top-level menu item exactly (e.g. Jewelry).
  3. Choose an Image, and optionally a Heading, Button text and Button link.
Note

The mega menu measures the screen each time it opens and shifts itself so it never runs off the edge, even with a promo image.
