Can you add a bottom menu to mobile screens?

Topic summary

Goal: Add a fixed bottom navigation menu on mobile for a Shopify store using the Dawn theme.

Context and options:

  • Shopify 2.0 (Dawn) allows adding sections to any page (“sections everywhere”), which can place content near the bottom, but does not natively replicate a persistent bottom nav bar.
  • Third‑party apps are recommended to achieve a true mobile bottom bar.

Suggested solutions:

  • Mobile Menu Bar (Shopify App Store) suggested as a ready-made bottom menu tool.
  • Pronavi / Navi+ (Bottom & Tab Bar, Menu) recommended with a free tier sufficient for basic bottom bar needs; advanced features (e.g., image uploads, more controls) require paid plans.
  • Resources provided include a video tutorial and demo templates showcasing bottom bar designs.

Media/attachments:

  • Multiple screenshots illustrating desired layouts and app examples; a video guide link is included for setup.

Status/outcome:

  • No confirmation of implementation by the original poster. Consensus leans toward using an app (not theme-only) for a persistent mobile bottom bar. Discussion remains open without a final resolution.
