Breadcrumb navigation for Shopify
Help shoppers find their way back.
A breadcrumb trail shows people exactly where they are in your store — and gives them a one-tap route back to the whole category.
- Fewer dead ends. Every product page links up into the category above it, so nobody bounces after one page.
- More products seen per visit. One tap moves a shopper up a level instead of back to the homepage.
- Better-looking search results. Google can show your category path in place of a raw URL.

The problem
When shoppers lose their way, you lose the sale.
Shopify collections are a flat list. A shopper who lands on a product from search has no idea what sits above it — and no way up.
- 01The trail ends at the product. Nothing on the page says which category it came from.
- 02The only way back is out. Browser back, or the homepage, or nothing.
- 03Search shows a URL, not a path. Your structure never reaches Google.

Visitor path
The way back can match the way in.
A breadcrumb usually says where a product sits in your catalogue. Switch this on and it says how this shopper got there instead — falling back to your tree for anyone who arrives with no route yet.
No route to read yet — the visit starts on the product itself.

Lay’s Cream & Onion
Nothing to follow, so the trail falls back to where the product sits in your tree. Nobody ever lands without a way up.
- Off until you turn it onA trail built from browsing is a different claim about the page than one built from your tree. The app does not start making it unasked.
- Additive by defaultOn its own it only fills in where nothing was resolved. Preferring the route over your tree is a second, deliberate switch.
- Between 1 and 10 stepsYou choose how far back the trail reaches. Three by default — enough to say where they came from without crowding the page.
- It never reaches usThe route lives in the shopper's own browser for the length of that visit, and expires with it. We store your setting and nothing else.
Structured data
One trail, written twice.
Switch it on and every page carries an invisible copy of its breadcrumb — the BreadcrumbList markup search engines read to show a category path in place of a web address.

Off until you ask for it.Plenty of themes and most SEO apps already publish a BreadcrumbList, and two on one page compete with each other. Publishing structured data is a claim made on your store’s behalf, so the app will not make it for you — you turn it on once you know yours is the only one.
Setup
Three steps, then it runs itself.
The app checks each step for you and always tells you which one is next.
Checked live1
Add the block
One click opens your theme editor with the breadcrumb already staged — home, product, collection and collection-list pages each get a row.
Checked live2
Arrange collections
Drag between rows to reorder, drop onto a row to nest. Sub-categories travel with their parent. Rename a crumb without renaming the collection.
Checked live3
Pick a style
Choose the separator, how long trails behave, and whether search engines get the path. Set it per theme.
Theme setup
You never go looking for the block.
Pick a page, press Add. Your theme editor opens with the breadcrumb block already dropped into place — and the badge here flips to Added on its own.

Nesting
Every level you nest is one more crumb.
Drop a collection onto another and it files underneath, branch and all. Go up to ten levels deep — tap a layer to see the trail it produces.

Features
Small things that stop it breaking.
The parts you only notice when they're missing.
One collection, one place
A crumb always links somewhere real. Collections already in the tree open as added, so nothing lands twice.
Add above or below
Choose sibling, child or parent before you pick. Adding a parent lifts the whole branch inside it.
Display names
Show “Shoes” where the collection is called “Men's Footwear”. Changes the crumb, nothing else.
Live preview
See the trail and the first products behind it while you arrange, before you save.
Refresh from Shopify
Renamed a collection in the admin? Pull the new titles in without touching your arrangement.
Deleted collections flagged
A removed collection shows up flagged instead of quietly publishing a dead link.
Per-theme settings
Style each theme separately, published or not, and save them all in one go.
Save and discard
The save bar appears only when something changed. Discard puts it back exactly as it was.
Your data stays yours
Everything is stored in your own Shopify metafields. Uninstall and your store keeps working.
Search results
Show the path in Google, not a URL.
Turn it on and search engines can read your hierarchy. Off by default — plenty of themes already publish one, and two on a page compete.

We have four levels of collections and shoppers kept getting lost. Set the tree up in an evening and bounce on category pages dropped noticeably.

The theme deep link is the part I tell people about. I've installed a lot of apps and this is the first one that put its own block in for me.

FAQ
Before you install.
The eight things merchants ask us first.
Something not here? support@shopgears.com — a person answers.
Do I have to edit my theme?
No. One click opens your theme editor with the breadcrumb already staged, and you press Save. Home, product, collection and collection-list pages each get their own row, so you can add it where you want it and leave the rest.
There is no Liquid to paste and nothing to undo later — removing the app removes the block.
Will it work with my theme?
It works with any Online Store 2.0 theme. The breadcrumb is a theme app block, so it drops into a section the same way your theme's own blocks do, and it inherits the page's fonts and colours.
If a page hasn't had the block added yet, the setup checklist on the app's home screen says so rather than leaving you guessing.
Doesn't Shopify already do breadcrumbs?
Shopify collections are a flat list. Nothing in the platform records which collection sits inside which, so a theme has no hierarchy to render even when it wants to.
This app is where you express that hierarchy once. Everything else follows from it.
What about a product in more than one collection?
Each collection has exactly one place in your tree, so a crumb always links somewhere real. A product in three collections resolves through the one you arranged.
Turn the visitor path on and the route the shopper actually took decides instead — which is usually the collection they were just looking at.
Will it slow my storefront down?
No. The trail is rendered in Liquid from a metafield that is already on the page. There is no extra request, no third-party script, and no JavaScript needed to draw the breadcrumb itself.
Who owns the data, and what happens if I uninstall?
Your tree, display names and style settings are written to your own Shopify metafields. We keep no second copy, and the app requests no customer, order or payment permissions at all.
Uninstall and Shopify removes the app's metafields with it. Your store keeps working exactly as it did before.
What happens when I rename a collection?
Refresh from Shopify pulls the new titles in without touching how you arranged them. If a collection has been deleted, it shows up flagged instead of quietly publishing a dead link.
Display names are separate: show “Shoes” in the trail where the collection is called “Men's Footwear”, and nothing else about the collection changes.
Should I switch structured data on?
Only if nothing else on the page already publishes a BreadcrumbList. Plenty of themes and most SEO apps emit one, and two on a page compete — which is why it ships switched off rather than on.
If yours is the only one, switch it on and Google can show your category path in place of a raw URL.
