Menu with images for subcategories

Topic summary

Context: Request to create a subcategory menu with images like Nanoleaf, using the Impulse theme; store link and a screenshot were provided. The image is illustrative of the desired layout.

Clarifications: The pattern is a “Mega Menu.” Impulse supports mega menus, but replicating the exact Nanoleaf design likely needs custom coding.

Implementation options:

  • Add a custom setting in Theme Editor (Customize) to attach images to menu items.
  • Use Shopify metafields (custom data fields) to store and render images in the menu.
  • Edit theme files to build a bespoke mega menu layout matching the reference.

Guidance: If coding isn’t familiar, hire a Shopify developer; professional help was offered.

Status: No step-by-step code or a built-in toggle confirming this exact layout was provided. The solution requires customization, and the discussion remains open without a finalized implementation.

Hey @Bahrikaan

The menu which you’re referring to is called “Mega Menu” and Impulse does supports a mega menu but not sure if it looks exactly like this so if you require it exactly like that then custom coding would be required within your theme files.

If you’re not familiar with coding then I would highly recommend you to hire a Shopify developer who can help you out with that. If you’d like my help then Feel free to Connect with me and I’ll gladly sort that out for you.

Cheers,

Hi @Bahrikaan

To achieve this, we’ll need to either add a custom option in the Theme Editor (Customize) or use metafields to display images in the menu.
