Tab Bar

Shopify Bottom Navigation & Tab Bar App
built for the
thumb zone.

Over 75% of ecommerce traffic happens on mobile, yet traditional navigation hides behind hard-to-reach hamburger menus. Navi+ Tab Bar adds a persistent, thumb-friendly bottom bar that keeps your top collections, cart, and search one tap away.

The problem
Mobile navigation is harder than it needs to be.

The hamburger icon is easy to miss

The ☰ icon at the top corner isn't where mobile users instinctively reach. Many visitors scroll past it without tapping — not because they don't want to explore, just because it's out of the natural thumb zone.

Categories are a few taps away

When collections are nested inside a collapsed menu, visitors sometimes don't find them. The fewer taps between a customer and your products, the better.

Apps have set an expectation

Your customers use Instagram, TikTok, and Amazon every day — all with bottom tab bars. Matching that pattern makes your store feel familiar and easy to navigate.

The solution
A bar at the bottom. Every key page, one tap away.

Tab Bar adds a fixed navigation bar to the bottom of the screen — always visible as customers scroll, no hunting required.

Placed in the thumb zone

The bottom of a phone screen is where thumbs naturally rest. Tab Bar puts your navigation there — reachable without stretching, always in view.

Show your categories, not just Home and Cart

Pin the pages that matter most to your business — collections, sale, new arrivals. Put them where customers are already looking.

Stays visible as they scroll

The bar remains fixed while customers browse. They can read a product page, scroll through images, and switch to another category without going back to the top.

Feels familiar, like a native app

Bottom tab navigation is a pattern customers already know from the apps they use daily. It makes your store easy to pick up and move around in.

Why it works
Easier navigation means more pages visited.

Most mobile stores focus on a single path: product → cart → checkout. But shoppers also browse and compare. When your categories are always a tap away at the bottom of the screen, more of that browsing happens — which usually means more products seen and more reasons to buy.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Shopify Bottom Navigation

Answers to common questions about setting up, compatibility, and performance.

Will the bottom tab bar cover my store's Add to Cart or checkout buttons?

No. Navi+ includes automatic smart padding that dynamically adjusts page footer spacing, preventing the sticky bar from obstructing sticky add-to-cart buttons, chat widgets, or cookie banners.

Does the Tab Bar show a live cart item count?

Yes. The cart icon automatically listens to Shopify's AJAX cart events and updates the badge counter in real-time whenever a customer adds or removes an item.

Does it work with Shopify Horizon, Dawn, and OS 2.0 themes?

Yes. Navi+ uses native Shopify App Embeds and works out of the box with Horizon, Dawn, Prestige, and over 331 themes without modifying your theme files.

Can I show different tabs on different pages?

Yes. You can configure page-specific display rules to show, hide, or highlight specific tab destinations depending on whether the visitor is on the homepage, a collection, or a product page.

Will it slow down my store's mobile PageSpeed score?

No. Navi+ is served from a global edge CDN with a lightweight runtime (<25KB) that loads asynchronously, ensuring 100% compliance with Google's Core Web Vitals.
