Key Settings to Configure

Link Label: The text that appears on the clickable badge

  • Be descriptive: "View Specifications", "See Reviews", "Shipping Info"

Section ID: The target section you want to scroll to

  • Find the ID: Each section has a unique ID in the theme editor
  • Be precise: The exact section ID is required for the link to work
  • Test it: Always verify the link scrolls to the correct location

Visual Style

Badge Type: Choose the visual prominence of your jump link

  • Primary: Bold style for important navigation (like main sections)
  • Secondary: Subtle style for supporting links
  • Accent: Brand-colored style for featured sections
  • Custom: Choose your own colors for specific design needs

Optional Icon: Add visual elements to make links more recognizable

  • When to use icons: Helpful for different content types (info icon for details, arrow for navigation)

Pro Tips for Success

Navigation Best Practices

  • Group related links: Use multiple jump links together for easy navigation
  • Strategic placement: Put jump links near the top of long pages or sections
  • Clear destinations: Make sure the section you're linking to has a clear heading
  • Test on mobile: Ensure smooth scrolling works well on all devices

Common Mistakes

  • Wrong section IDs: Double-check that section IDs match exactly
  • Too many links: Don't overwhelm customers with too many jump options
  • Unclear labels: Vague text like "Click here" doesn't help customers understand where they're going
  • Broken links: Always test jump links after making changes to your page structure
