My old menu still appears before Smart Menu shows up

To achieve the best user experience, Shopify always loads your website first, and then apps, that's why your old navigation still appears.

Read our instruction here to know how to hide it.

Does the app support multiple languages?

Yes. The menu content can be translated in our app via the Translation page.

However, this feature is included only in the paid plans. You can review the plan comparison here.

I can't customize Smart Menu on mobile

On mobile, Smart Menu mainly takes the style of your theme's menu, color options in app can't apply on mobile.

For example, the background of your original mobile menu is white, then Smart Menu will show up as white background and dark text.

If you need to edit the style of mobile menu, please contact us to customize your theme.

How can I have a separate menu on mobile and desktop?

Mega menu is the good choice on desktop because it can show many collections and products, but it might be too much on mobile.

You can use the Hide on mobile or Hide on desktop option inside each item to only show some specific menus on desktop or mobile.

Otherwise, you can leave the "Select mobile menu" blank to show your original menu (in Shopify navigation) on mobile.

Can I have different menus on different markets/countries?

Absolutely! The Premium plan includes a Multi-menu feature, which lets you create multiple menus within the app and publish them either to all markets or to selected markets.

How can I upload my image?

In Free plan, you can only paste the URL of your image to Image field.

You can upload the image to your Shopify (Content > Files > Upload files). After that, you can copy the image link and paste into our app

In Premium plan, you can directly upload your image to Smart Menu.

Depending on the internet speed, you might occur some error when uploading an image. Please try to re-upload a few times.

How can I highlight a specific menu item?

The Title field of a menu item allows HTML, so you can add some HTML to highlight your item.

For example:

• Change color: <font color="#ff0000">MENU TITLE</font> or <span style="color: #ff000">MENU TITLE</span>
• Bold: <b>MENU ITEM</b>
• Italic: <i>MENU ITEM</i>

Menu is cut off on tablet or small screens

If you set a fixed width for menu (eg. 800px), it might be cut off on smaller screens such as tablets. (for mobile, it'll turn to sidebar menu).

To solve this, we have 2 suggestions:

• Change the position of submenu to left or right, depending on the position of menu.

For example, you're setting a menu to show center and it's cut off the right side, then should set it to show on Left

• Set submenu fullwidth (recommend): it'll auto show full-width on all screen sizes, avoiding cutting off.

For further instructions, please refer to: Submenu settings

I changed something in product but it does not update on menu

When you add a collection to menu, its current data (image, name) are added to menu.

So when menu shows up on your store, it doesn't need to search for data of that collection again, which can reduce the loading time.

If you change the collection image on Shopify after adding it to Smart Menu, the image will not be automatically updated.

To update new changes, you need to manually re-add your collections to the menu (you might need to select the collection again to deselect it), or you can click Update data button at the bottom bar to update the data for all added collections.
