Breadcrumbs are a staple in most cookbooks, both for novice cooks and professional chefs.

This is a handy trick if you want to keep track of your customer’s purchases or navigate between different sections of your site. So read on to learn how to create nested breadcrumbs in Shopify, and get organized like a pro!
What are Nested Breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs are a great way to keep your Shopify store organized and easy to navigate. They help you keep track of where you have been in your site, and can be used to lead customers back to where they need to go.
To create nested breadcrumbs, first set up a basic breadcrumbs navigation menu in your Shopify shop. This will include a list of all the pages in your store, with links leading directly to those pages.
Next, create submenus for each of the main categories in your shop. These should include all of the pages related to that category (for example, products, checkout processes, etc.), as well as any related subcategories.
Finally, add individual breadcrumb links for each page within each of the main menus and submenus. For example, if you have a product category with four pages (Home > Products), you would add four breadcrumb links under Home > Products: one for each page in that category (including the homepage).
