Smart Collection-Based Store Navigation (Auto-Sync + Expandable Menus)

It would be awesome if the store navigation in Go High Level could automatically sync with Collections. For example, when you add a new Collection, it should automatically appear in the right place in your menu — without having to manually edit the navigation every time.
Even better would be the ability to have multi-level expanding menus. So instead of just one dropdown, you could have a structure like Men’s → Pants → Joggers. A product would show there automatically if it’s tagged in both the Men’s and Joggers collections.
This would make building and managing full-scale ecommerce sites in GHL way faster, cleaner, and more scalable — especially for agencies or larger stores with multiple product categories.

Right now, creating and managing store navigation is a multi-step process.
If I add a new collection, I have to:
Create the collection
Add products to that collection
Go into the Website Builder and manually add that collection to the navigation or dropdown
This breaks the automation flow and creates friction when building or scaling stores.
🚀 Proposed Solution:
Have a full Collection/Menu management system.
Introduce a Smart Navigation System that directly syncs with product Collections and supports multi-level expandable menus.
Key features:
Menus automatically update when new Collections are added.
Admins can toggle whether each Collection should appear in the menu.
Add drag-and-drop “Menu Sync Settings” for customizing order, nesting, and visibility.
Support nested menus (e.g., hover over one item to expand another level).
Products appear in the right place automatically based on which Collections they belong to.
🛍️ Example Use Case:
Imagine running a clothing store.
You create the following Collection:
Men’s
-Pants
--Joggers
--Jeans
If a product is tagged (Collections) with both Men’s and Joggers, it automatically appears under:
Shop → Men’s → Pants → Joggers
If you later add a new Collection called Hoodies, it automatically appears under both Men’s and Women’s (if those relationships exist).
This would make it possible to manage large stores without constantly rebuilding navigation by hand.
💥 Benefits:
Eliminates the need to manually update store menus
Enables professional-level store organization with nested menus
Reduces build time for ecommerce sites by 70–80%
Keeps navigation accurate and synced with product data
Ideal for agencies managing multiple store clients
