mega dropdown menu with photos instead of links? symmetry theme

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: create a mega dropdown menu that displays photos instead of text links in a Shopify store (Symmetry theme). The poster shared a screenshot of the desired look and a live site link, asking whether an app can do this or if code edits are required.

Guidance so far: one reply suggests that if menus are tied to collections (Shopify groups of products), you can add an image in each collection in the admin, which can show as a background image. For a fully image-based mega menu layout, custom coding and substantial theme editing are likely necessary. No specific apps or detailed steps were provided; the responder offered private assistance.

Status: No concrete solution or app recommendation yet; discussion remains open. Next actions include trying collection images via theme settings or proceeding with custom development. The attached screenshot is central to understanding the intended visual outcome.

If there are collections, you can open a collection from the backend, there you will find an option to add image which will show as background image.

Other than that if you specific requirements you will need a code and a lot of editing actually.
