The Circle Menu section lets you add a circle menu, square menu, or pill menu that showcases your featured product collections anywhere in your Shopify store. It turns the collection list into a ‘bubble navigation’ that fits well on any device.

NOTE: This block is only available for the PRO plan. You can configure this block normally in the Theme Editor; however, you need to upgrade your plan to apply them to the front end.
By default, Easy Content Builder offers support for structured data (schema.org) to generate rich snippets for the Circle Menu section, ultimately enhancing the SEO performance of your Shopify store.

What is the Circle Menu section perfect for?

You have various options to use the Circle Menu section for your Shopify themes:

  • A visual navigation that highlights your key collections - see an example here.
