In your eCom store, customers can navigate to different sections using the main navigation or the footer.
Most themes will be prominently displayed at the top of the page or on the left in the main navigation. To create menu options in your main navigation, use Categories, Links or Blogs. You can also create menu options in your footer using Pages.
Create menu options using categories
Add an option in the main navigation using the categories. A category is automatically displayed in the main menu, whose category title is the name of the menu option. The menu option links to the category page and, depending on the category type, is useful for directing your customers to products, an index of other categories or to a text category page.
Make sure the category is visible in the main menu:
the category and its parent categories are visible.
the category has a maximum of two parent categories.
The installed theme is designed and activated to display categories in the main menu. If you're not sure, find and read your theme's guide. For more information about the guide to finding a theme, click here.
The category has a translated title for all languages in your eCom Back Office.

URL of pages in the footer
All pages accessible from the footer of your website can be found on your domain via /service. For example: your.domain.com/service/About-Us.
The /service address is used for all languages and cannot be changed.
Your eCom store has many default pages, such as About Us or a Customer Support page that you can find in your footer. Some pages will not appear in your footer and can be accessed through normal use of your eCom store, such as the Home Page or the My Cart page.
Themes will normally display the footer content as a series of links, sometimes organized into lists. For example, the theme Conform Plus shows a list of custom content pages titled Customer Service.
To edit the way your footer is organized or displayed, you can customize your store's design. For more information about changing the design of your eCom store, click here.
To hide certain footers, you can disable their visibility. For more information on editing the visibility or content of options in the footer, click here.
