Section tutorials

Header and mobile navigation

Configure the shared menus, desktop layout, mobile account entry and scroll-based navigation.

Where to find it

Open Header group → Header. The logo itself is configured in Theme settings → Brand.

Set it up

  1. Select the main Menu and configure its links and hierarchy in Shopify's menu editor.
  2. Choose Desktop Header layout, header width, height, menu spacing and trigger behavior.
  3. For a mega menu, add a Mega menu block and match Menu item to the intended top-level menu label. Configure its optional collection and promotion content.
  4. Choose desktop sticky behavior and any page-specific transparent Header settings, checking text contrast over the first section.
  5. Set Mobile header height, mobile menu style and Mobile header sticky behavior. The mobile top row contains menu and logo, plus the native account entry when customer accounts are enabled in Shopify.
  6. Set Mobile bottom navigation behavior to Show when scrolling down or Always visible. Its items are Collection, Menu, Cart and Search; review them together with the menu drawer.
  7. Use Show country selector to control the Header country/currency selector. A language selector can still appear when multiple storefront languages are available.

Blocks and content

This section allows up to 8 direct blocks. Nested blocks have their own parent-specific choices and limits.

  • Mega menu: configure this inside the section. Its available controls are listed below.

Content and media

  • Add global desktop/mobile logo sizes under Theme settings → Brand. Mega menu promotion images are optional and belong to the matching Mega menu block.

Check the mobile layout

  • The bottom navigation hides while the drawer is open. In scrolling mode, close the drawer and scroll down to show it again. Test menu links separately from submenu toggles and check the account/localization area at the drawer bottom.

Common questions and fixes

  • A mega menu does not attach: check the Menu item label against the actual top-level menu text.
  • A link opens a submenu instead of a page: review menu style and use the intended link versus toggle control.
  • A transparent Header is hard to read: change its foreground color or disable transparency for that page type.

Full control reference

Names, choices, ranges and defaults below are read from this version of the theme. Defaults are starting examples, not promises about your business. Some controls appear only for the matching layout. Block contents and preset starting values can differ from the base defaults.
