You can use drop-down menus to group products, collections, or pages together and make it easier for customers to navigate your online store. For example, if you have a lot of products then you might want to add them to collections and then use a drop-down menu from the main menu to organize the collections. This can help a customer to find the type of products that they're looking for.

You can also add, remove, or edit menu items in drop-down menus, or in your online store's default menus.

You can view and change your online store navigation from the Navigation page in your Shopify admin.

You can build drop-down menus by creating or moving menu items so that they are "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. The top-level item can have up to two levels of nested drop-down menus:

All themes will display nested items as drop-down menus from the main menu, and some themes will display nested items as drop-down menus in other locations.

The appearance and location of the main menu and drop-down menus in your online store depend on your online store's theme. Some themes will display an icon beside the name of a drop-down menu in the main menu to help customers recognize that a drop-down menu is there.

You can add a drop-down menu from any of the menu items in the main menu.

Steps:

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.

From the Shopify app, tap Store.
In the Sales channels section, tap Online Store.

Whether you're running a business or running a home, keeping things organized is key to success. There are tons of apps and websites to help you stay organized nowadays, but I always come back to old faithful: Microsoft Excel. I just can't seem to break up with it.

Microsoft Excel is more than just what your parents used at their desk jobs. When used effectively, it can be a rewarding tool in your arsenal, whether you're running a business, a home, or simply need a budget. Drop-down lists simplify data input, which is helpful where time is money.

FAQs

No formula is needed, all you need to do is change how the type of data input, from typing to selecting. So just going to Data and altering Data Validation will do it, like the steps above.

Though they are often mistaken, Data Filtering is different from drop-down lists. Data filtering is added to the headers of each column, so you can filter the visible data by category. For example, filter by month, place, and more. However, a drop-down list lets users select an item to fill the cell with.
