How it sells itself

When your customers land on your store, they don't always land on the home page. If they've found you on a search engine, they generally arrive on a product or collection. Breadcrumbs Uncomplicated shows them where they are, and how the current collection fits into the hierarchy of well-categorised products on your store.

Shopify collections have no parent-child structure, so most themes can't show a true category path. Build your own category tree in the app: arrange it with drag and drop, link each category to a collection or page URL, and save. Add the Breadcrumbs block in the theme editor, and product, collection, and other pages show the matching trail.

Key points
  • Categorise to make your products easier to find (browse for) and discover
  • Get category-based breadcrumbs from your existing standard Shopify 'Navigation'
  • Add clear breadcrumbs and JSON-LD for each collection in your category tree
  • Simply drag-and-drop in 2.0 themes, or for older 1.0 themes code in an embed
  • Build and reorder a category tree of any depth with drag and drop
  • Link categories to collections; products show the deepest matching path
  • Output schema.org BreadcrumbList (JSON-LD) for search engines
  • Add the block in the theme editor and style it to match your theme, no code
