Hi @Ethanp213 ,
Yes, you can install the app for it, but with theme code, it is not possible.

Hope it helps!
Topic summary
Goal: increase menu sub-levels in the Shopify Empire theme beyond the current limit without using a plugin.
- The requester wants at least 5 levels of sub-menus and prefers a code-based solution. Store URL was shared; a screenshot illustrating the current 3-level menu was referenced.
- Reviewers stated Shopify navigation supports only 3 levels. They said increasing depth to 5 via theme code is not possible.
- Workarounds proposed: use a mega menu layout in Empire to better present categories, or install a third-party app to handle deeper category structures (e.g., Uncomplicated Categories).
- Disagreement noted: the requester reports Shopify told them it’s possible with a paid developer; responders maintain it cannot be done via theme code and would require an app.
Outcome: No code solution provided. Current guidance points to using a mega menu or an app. The question remains partially unresolved due to conflicting information from Shopify support, but consensus in the thread is that theme code alone cannot extend beyond 3 levels.
