How to edit header in your store?
Last updated
The header is a content block at the upper part of your website that appears on every page. It usually contains the logo of a store, the main navigation menu, and other elements such as a search bar, shopping cart icon, etc.
The header plays a vital role in branding your site, helping visitors navigate, and displaying your most important pages.
You can freely customize your header to suit your business needs by adding your logo image, choosing the main menu, and other addons using Zest theme.
Steps:
Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize.
Choose Header section
Make necessary changes > Save.

Decide how the logo and menu are displayed on your header by changing the Layout option:
Enable sticky header if you want the header remains visible when the user scrolls down the page.
The Sticky behavior is only available if the Sticky header is turned on.
On scroll up: The header appears only when the user scrolls up (good for saving screen space).
Always: The header stays fixed at the top of the page at all times.
The Sticky behavior option is only available in Zest version 9.0.0 and above. ✨

Logo on mega menu hover: This setting allows you to upload a specific logo that appears when users hover over a mega menu (if enabled).
