Menus

Menu management offers a tiered menu → sub-menu → sub-sub-menu system for organizing products. Many store owners ask whether to use menus or categories — we generally recommend categories for their flexibility, but depending on your needs, menus may be exactly right.

Menus or Categories?

Which should you use?

Categories can produce the same sub-menu structure that menus do — they’re just organized differently on your main menu, and they offer more flexibility overall. We usually recommend categories. That said, the menu system is a clean, straightforward way to build a tiered structure if that fits how you want to organize your store.

Setup

Editing menus

Enter a menu name and a sort-order number. Clicks and views are recorded for statistics only — useful to review after your store has been running a while. SEO keywords and a description let you add search-optimization details to this store page, and the banner image is optional: upload one if you want a custom banner to display dynamically on the menu page.

Hierarchy

Editing sub and sub-sub menus

Once you create a main menu, add sub-menus by selecting the sub-menu button. From there you can add further sub-menus or edit the sub-sub menus beneath each one to build a tiered hierarchy. EasyCart menus go three levels deep — and remember, categories can often produce the same effect with added flexibility.
