Hello everyone, I’m quite new to Shopify application development and need some help. Is there a way to access the navigation menu in a Shopify store? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Topic summary
Main issue: A beginner Shopify app developer asks how to access a store’s navigation menu.
Options provided:
- Manual: Use Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation to manage two built-in menus—Main Menu and Footer Menu. Both can be edited and customized for the storefront.
- Programmatic: Use the Shopify Admin GraphQL API (menus query) to access menus via code (useful for app development or dynamic retrieval).
Notes:
- No conflicting views; answers present complementary approaches (UI vs API).
- No code or attachments are central.
Status: Practical solutions offered, but the original poster hasn’t confirmed resolution, so the thread appears open.
@omtanmaya-666 if you just want to edit the menu manually, go to your Shopify admin panel: Online Store > Navigation. and you will see 2 menu options.
1- Main Menu
2- Footer Menu
you can edit and customize both of them to display on your storefront.
if it resolves your issue please mark it as a solution. Thank you
Hi @omtanmaya-666 , you can access them with GraphQL.
