How Do I Create a Link List in Shopify?

Last updated on December 24, 2022 @ 1:01 am

Adding links to your Shopify store is a great way to direct customers to specific pages or products, and can also be used to add affiliate links or promote other sites that you think might be of interest to your customers. There are two ways to add links in Shopify: through the “Navigation” section of your admin, or by adding them directly to your store’s code.

If you want to add a link through the “Navigation” section of your admin, first go to Online Store > Navigation. From here, you can either add a new link list or edit an existing one.

To add a new link list, click on the “Add link list” button. Give your link list a name (this is for internal use only), and then click on the “Save” button.

Now that you’ve created a new link list, it’s time to add some links! To do this, click on the “Add link” button.

You’ll need to enter the URL, Link title, and Link list for each link you want to add. The URL is the web address that the link will take customers to, the Link title is what will be displayed on your store (for example, “Affiliate Program”), and the Link list is the name of the link list that you want this particular link to appear in.

Creating Links In Your Store’s Code

The other way to add links in Shopify is by adding them directly to your store’s code. This is a more advanced method, and we recommend that only those with some coding experience attempt this. If you’re not comfortable working with code, we recommend sticking with the method described above.

PRO TIP: Shopify’s link list feature is a great way to organize your store’s links, but it’s important to be aware that it can be used to create malicious links that could harm your store or customers. Be sure to only create link lists from trusted sources, and never click on links from untrustworthy sources. If you’re unsure about a link, err on the side of caution and don’t click it.

To add a link directly to your store’s code, you’ll need to edit your theme’s code. First, go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code.

From here, you can edit the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for your theme. To add a link, find the place in your code where you want the link to appear, and then insert the following code:

<a href="URL">Link Title</a>

Replace “URL” with the web address you want customers to be taken to when they click on the link, and replace “Link Title” with what you want the link to say (for example “Affiliate Program”). Once you’ve added your links, click on the “Save” button at the top of the page.</br />
