Whether you wish to add a new link to a new product, remove an existing product and the links that lead to it, or fully customize your store navigation, understanding how to work with menus when <a href=\"\/kb\/how-to-configure-your-online-store-in-zen-cart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">configuring your Zen Cart store<\/a> is essential for each Zen Cart project.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we share how to manage the main menu in Zen Cart in a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding the Main Menu in Zen Cart<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other CMS platforms such as<a href=\"\/kb\/install-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> WordPress<\/a>, Zen Cart doesn&#8217;t use a single drag-and-drop menu builder. Instead, the main menu in Zen Cart is comprised of several components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Default navigational links that lead to main store pages, such as the Homepage, Featured Products, and others.<\/li>\n<li>EZ-Pages that let you create and manage custom menu links.<\/li>\n<li>Category menus, created after your product categories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This concept allows you to customize each component independently from all others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Customize the Default Menu Items<\/h2>\n<p>Zen Cart comes with default menu items such as Home, Shipping &amp; Returns, Contact Us, Order Status, and others.
