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.

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.
- The circle menu displays the collection names inside the image (with an overlay-opacity)
- A horizontal category filter - see an example here.
- Showcase featured collections on your homepage or any store page - see an example here.

2. For mobile devices, applying a bit of left padding to the circle menu could be beneficial. Try adjusting the Container Max Width on Mobile to 98% or a value that suits your preference.
