You can create and edit your menus by going to the "Store Menus" tab in the Toolbox.

Here you will find a list of your current menus.

When you create a new menu, you can use any name you like to describe the new menu. However, it is best to choose a short descriptive name.

Standard Menus

There are three standard menus that you will find that are created for you by default when your store is created.

If a standard menu does not exist, you can create it at any time. However, a standard menu cannot be deleted.

All of the themes in the Theme Gallery use the standard menus, so once you set up a standard menu, you can swap themes without having to make changes to the menu definitions.

Unless you are designing a custom theme, you will probably not need to create any additional menus.

Top Menu

This menu would generally be used for some general navigation links at the top of your site. For example, you might find a "Shop Home" link as well as a "View Cart" link.

Main Menu

This menu is your main navigation menu and will contain links to your product collections, blogs and other pages.

A main menu may appear underneath your top banner or perhaps at the side.

Footer

The footer menu naturally will be placed at the bottom of the page. This usually contains the links to your "Terms and Conditions" and "Privacy" policy pages.
