Breadcrumbs

Show the navigation path on product and collection pages (e.g. Home → Collections → Product). Helps customers orient themselves and improves SEO.

Theme Editor → Theme settings → Breadcrumbs


A breadcrumb trail (Home → Jackets → Wool Coat) does two things at once: it shows customers where they are in your store, and it creates internal linking structure that search engines use to understand your site hierarchy.


For customers: a path back — and forward

A customer who lands on a product page from Google has no visible way to explore the collection it belongs to — unless breadcrumbs are enabled. With breadcrumbs, every product page has a clear path back to its category. This is one of the lowest-effort additions you can make to reduce bounce rates on organic traffic pages.

Path style — choose what to show

Path style controls how much of the navigation path is shown:

Option
What appears
When to use

Show collections page

Home → Collections → Category → Product

Store with clear department structure

Disable

Product name only

Minimal stores where the full path would be redundant

Dim path — a separate toggle that reduces the visual weight of the path so the current product name stands out. The trail stays readable but doesn't compete with the product title.

Show current item — includes the current product or page name as the last crumb in the trail.
