Add, remove, or edit menu items in your online store

You can add menu items to your online store and customer accounts menus to build your store's menus. Menu items are links to products, collections, webpages, blog posts, policies, customer account pages, or other websites. You can also remove or edit menu items.

In most cases, you need to create an item before you can link to it. For example, you need to create a collection before you can add it to a menu.

If you delete a resource that you use in your store's menus, then any associated menu items are also deleted. For example, if you delete a collection that you use for an On sale menu item, then both the collection and the menu item are deleted.

You can view and change your online store menus from the Menus page in your Shopify admin.
