Mega menu

Learn how to add menus to build your store's navigation

A mega menu is a drop-down menu in which the top-level item has 2 levels of nested drop-down menus.

A mega menu affects how shoppers discover your product offerings and other information, which lets them browse easily and seamlessly. It is a perfect design choice when building a website with multiple categories and subcategories. The design also provides sufficient space for images (banners) and other rich content.

Different websites require different kinds of menus, depending on the size, nature, and objectives of your store. This article shows you how to create and customize your own suitable menu.
