Hi @aroohi 

1. Adding Breadcrumbs in the Impulse Theme

A. Check Theme Settings

1. Go to Theme Customizer: 

   • From your Shopify admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes.
   • Click Customize on the Impulse theme.

2. Search for Breadcrumb Settings:

   • Some themes have a built-in option to enable breadcrumbs in the Theme settings or Pages sections. Look for any settings related to "Breadcrumbs" and enable them if available.

B. Add Breadcrumbs Manually (If Not Available)

If the theme doesn’t have built-in breadcrumb functionality, you can add it by editing your theme's code:

1. Edit Theme Code:

   • Go to Online Store > Themes.
   • Click on Actions > Edit code.

2. Locate the Template Files:

   • You’ll need to add breadcrumb code to templates like product.liquid, collection.liquid, and page.liquid.

3. Add Breadcrumb Code:

   • Open the product.liquid (or similar) file and add the following code snippet where you want the breadcrumbs to appear (usually at the top, under the header):

<style>
  .breadcrumbs {
    margin: 0 0 2em;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__list {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__item {
    display: inline-block;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__item:not(:last-child):after {
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: .10em .10em 0 0;
    content: '';
    display: inline-block;
    height: .20em;
    margin: 0 .20em;
    position: relative;
    transform: rotate(45deg);
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: .20em;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__link {
    text-decoration: underline;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__link[aria-current="page"] {
    color: inherit;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-decoration: none;
  }

  .breadcrumbs__link[aria-current="page"]:hover,
  .breadcrumbs__link[aria-current="page"]:focus {
    text-decoration: underline;
  }
</style>
