To enable shopping on your site and to follow the required steps, you need to first make sure you have created product categories and created and attached the appropriate products to the categories.
On your storefront website, store links are kept separate from standard content pages.
- In Standard Navigation, store links appear in the lower navigation menu.
- In Advanced Navigation, store links appear under the “Shop” menu.
The storefront structure works by adding parent product categories to the Shop navigation. This allows customers to quickly and easily browse products within each category.

Step 1
In your Growing Good admin, navigate to:

In the left-hand column, select the parent product categories you want to display by ticking the checkbox next to each one.

💡 When to Use the Footer (“About Us”) Menu
Footer links are best used for important informational content that doesn’t need to sit in the main top navigation, such as:
- FAQs
- Terms & Conditions
- Privacy Policy
- Contact Us
- Delivery Information
These pages are important but don’t need to be front and centre in your primary navigation.

In the left-hand column, select the pages you want to add by ticking the checkboxes.
Step 4
Click the > arrow in the middle to move them into the navigation menu.
Step 5
