Risify Similar (Collection Menu)

The Risify Similar (Collection Menu) feature in Risify adds a suggestion row to your collection pages. It displays short, clickable items that link to other collections or products you select, so shoppers can jump to related topics, accessories, or alternatives without typing a search query.

Suggestions are defined per collection, meaning each page can guide customers to the most relevant next steps.

Note: Similar (Collection Menu) is managed under the Navigation tab in Risify , alongside the Breadcrumbs and Discover features.

Two Phases of Setup - Risify Similar (Collection Menu)

The Risify Similar (Collection Menu) setup has two phases:

• Phase 1: In Shopify Admin, you will enable Risify Similar (Collection Menu) and define the items for each collection from the Actions menu. You control which collections appear and in what order.
• Phase 2: In the Theme Editor, you will add the Risify Similar (Collection Menu) section to your collection template, place it where you want, and style the tiles and text.

If you complete Phase 1 and do not see the menu yet, finish Phase 2 to make it visible on your storefront.

Phase 1: Enable and Define in Admin

In this phase, you attach Risify Similar (Collection Menu) suggestions to your collections.

Step 1: Open the Navigation Tab

In your Shopify admin, go to Apps, open Risify, and click Navigation. Go to the Collections tab. You will see a Similar (Collection Menu) column that shows which collections already have suggestions configured.

Step 2: Add Similar (Collection Menu) Suggestions

Find the collection you want to edit. In the Actions column, click the three-dot menu and select Edit Similar (Collection Menu). In the popup that opens:

1. Use the search bar to find the collections or products you want to suggest.
2. Select items from the Collections or Products tabs. You can combine both in a single Similar (Collection Menu) section.
3. Tick the items you want and click Add.
4. Drag and drop to reorder the list so the most useful suggestions appear first.
5. Click Save.

Back on the Navigation table, the Similar (Collection Menu) column for that collection will update to show your suggestions.

Tip: You can also use Risify’s AI Generator to create Similar (Collection Menu) suggestions automatically. Click the Generate button in this section to use 1 AI credit per item.

Note: Risify Similar (Collection Menu) can only be added to collections, not to individual products, since it functions as a sub-collection navigation feature.

What Happens Next

Your Similar (Collection Menu) suggestions are saved in Risify’s admin. In Phase 2, you will place the section on your storefront and style it to match your theme.

Phase 2: Place and Customize in the Theme Editor

In this phase, you add the Similar (Collection Menu) section to your collection template and style it.

Step 1: Open the Collection Template in the Theme Editor

In Shopify admin, go to Online Store, find your theme, and click Customize. Switch to the collection template where you want the Similar (Collection Menu) to appear, and navigate to a collection where you configured Similar in Phase 1.

Step 2: Add the Similar (Collection Menu) Section

1. In the left sidebar, click Add Section. Switch to the Apps tab and select Risify - Similar.
2. If the section appears at the bottom, drag and drop it to your preferred position. Many stores place it under the hero banner so visitors see it immediately.

Step 3: Configure the Section Settings

Use the left sidebar to style how the Risify Similar (Collection Menu) looks and behaves.

Summary

By completing both phases, you set up a complete suggestion system for your collection pages:

• Phase 1 defines your Similar (Collection Menu) suggestions in Risify’s admin panel, where you attach related collections or products to each collection.
• Phase 2 adds and customizes those suggestions inside your Shopify theme, controlling layout, spacing, and visual style.

Together, these steps help your customers find related content more easily and strengthen your store’s internal linking for SEO.
