Breadcrumbs in Trade theme

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

A user seeks guidance on adding breadcrumb navigation (fil d’Ariane) to their Shopify site using the Trade theme.

Three implementation approaches suggested:

  1. Built-in feature check - Navigate to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes > Customize, then look for breadcrumb settings on product/collection pages

  2. Manual code implementation - Edit theme code directly using:

    • Custom Liquid sections (custom-content/custom-html)
    • Reference examples from Shopify’s official liquid code documentation
    • Dawn theme or other free themes as code templates

  3. App-based solution - Install apps like “Category Breadcrumbs” or “SEO Optimized Breadcrumbs” for non-technical implementation

One responder provided a YouTube tutorial video for step-by-step guidance. Another offered professional customization services if DIY approaches prove challenging.

Resolution: The original poster confirmed the suggestions were helpful and resolved their question.

@La_Miocherie You can integrate breadcrumbs into your shopify store by 3 ways.

Option 1: Built-In Breadcrumbs (If Available)

Check if your theme has breadcrumbs as a built-in feature.

  1. Go to your Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click Customize.

  3. Navigate to a product or collection page and check for breadcrumb settings in the left-hand panel.
    Option 2: Add Breadcrumbs Manually with Code

    If your theme doesn’t have breadcrumbs, you can add them by editing your theme code.

    Option 3: Use a Breadcrumbs App

    If coding is not ideal, you can use an app like Category Breadcrumbs or SEO Optimized Breadcrumbs to add breadcrumbs to your site easily.

Hi @La_Miocherie :waving_hand: if a theme doesn’t have that feature already that is an advanced theme customization , or done with an app.

To DIY use a custom-liquid sections, aka custom-content, aka custom-html, and use some sample code

https://shopify.github.io/liquid-code-examples/example/breadcrumb-navigation

https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/breadcrumb-navigation

Or see the dawn reference or other free themes for example code.

If you need this customization created bespoke then contact me for services.

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.
