Navigation Menus
Here you manage your shop's navigation menus, for example the main header menu or the footer menu. A menu consists of individual items that can point to pages, categories, products, or external links, and can be nested as needed.
/shop/menusWhat can I do here?
- Create new menus (e.g. main navigation, footer)

Step by step
- Create a new menu: Click "Create menu", give it a name, and optionally a handle (unique identifier, e.g.

- Activate and save: Check "Active" so the menu is used in the shop, then save with "Create"/"Save".
