Setting up mega menu

  1. First, you need to setup your menu in multiple levels by using the native Shopify navigation. To learn how to create menu in multiple levels (dropdown), please check out the official Shopify documentation. Below is an example of a menu structure to accommodate the mega menu in the very first screenshot:

  2. In your theme settings, click Header (1) in the section list, navigate to the Menu setting (2) and choose the menu you just created above, then check the Enable dropdown menu setting (3):

  4. In the Menu item setting, just type the name of the menu item that contains the mega-menu. Please note that the name entered in Menu item must match the name of one of the first-level menu items. Here's an example in which the mega-menu is contained within the Bags item:

  5. In the Menu item setting, you can optionally upload 2 images for 2 promotions, respectively:
