Hoping for some help - I am just setting up my first Shopify store. I need help with sub categories, but I do NOT want it as a drop down menu if possible. Right now when you click Shop Online it takes you to a page of all my collections. (ie Holidays & Events, Hobbies, etc) I want sub categories in each of those collections - so when you click Holidays & Events you go to a page with options for Easter, Christmas, Weddings, etc. I hope this makes sense.
I tried to attach pictures but the forum isn’t letting me
You can modify the menu from the navigation option, just create category menu and assign the category.
To create a sub-collection, you can create a new collection and then assign it as a child of an existing collection. To do this, go to the “Collections” section of your Shopify admin and click on the collection that you want to add a sub-collection to. Then click on “Add child collection” and enter the details for the sub-collection.
I am also trying to create a child collection with a drop down menu. I can’t see ‘Add child collection’ within my collections. Has this feature been removed?
You can build drop-down menus by creating or moving menu items so that they’re “nested” below a top-level item. The top-level item appears in the main menu on your online store, and the nested menu items appear in a drop-down menu as shown here. Is this what you were after?
If you’re still looking for a breadcrumb solution — especially one that works well with nested or custom collections — you might want to try our app FDL Breadcrumbs & Collections.
It lets you create breadcrumbs and sub-collections visually with drag-and-drop, no code needed. Works well for large catalogs too.
Getting here a bit late, just to say that if you’re looking for a nested hierarchy in collection and grids of sub-collections, as well as breadcrumbs, you can take a look at our app Smart Collection Pro - additionally it has a condition system that help keeping the collections and sub-collections coherent, and advanced filters to automate your collections.
