Build menus and collections
These are two different things with confusingly similar purposes.
| What it is | |
|---|---|
| Navigation | Your menus — the links customers use to get around |
| Structures | How cubes are grouped — closest thing to a collection |
A Structure is a group of cubes. A Navigation menu item is a link. You often point a menu item at a Structure, which is where the confusion comes from.
Add a menu item
Section titled “Add a menu item”-
Open Structure › Navigation.
-
Add an item and give it a label.
-
Point it at where it should go — a cube, or a Structure.
-
Save.
Menus can be per-language, so check each language you support.
Create a Structure
Section titled “Create a Structure”-
Open Structure › Structures.
-
Create a Structure and name it.
-
Add the cubes that belong in it.
A cube can be in more than one Structure. Nothing stops a product being in both “New in” and “Sale”.
Which do I want?
Section titled “Which do I want?”Keep menus short
Section titled “Keep menus short”A swipe-first storefront is mostly browsed by swiping, not by navigating. Menus are a fallback for people who know what they want. A long menu is usually a sign the Feed is not doing its job.
