Ultra Categories & Breadcrumbs

A Shopify app for breadcrumbs and subcategories. Define your collection hierarchy once; the app handles the rest – showing customers where they are and where they can go next. A complete vertical navigation solution.

Ultra Categories & Breadcrumbs is currently available via invite-only access as we refine the product with a small group of merchants. Get in touch to request early access.

Shopify is incredibly powerful, but it doesn’t support hierarchical categories natively. Collections are flat – there’s no built-in way to specify that “Jackets” sits under “Clothing,” or to show customers where they are in your store’s structure.

Merchants search for the best breadcrumbs, sub-categories and nested collections solutions, yet mostly find workarounds that are fragile, theme-specific or difficult to maintain.

Ultra Categories & Breadcrumbs was built to solve this properly.

The app lets merchants to define clear parent-child relationships between collections, then dynamically displays breadcrumbs and subcategory links based on where the customer is browsing. One configuration, consistent navigation across the entire store.

Core features:

  • Easy drag & drop category tree builder
  • Up to 250 categories
  • 10 levels max depth
  • Optional display title, if you wish to override the collection title
  • Three app blocks: Product breadcrumbs, collection breadcrumbs and subcollections
  • Supports native translations (Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app)

Pro users enjoy:

  • Elevated & flexible customization options (slider layout, custom breadcrumb separator)
  • Pro subcollections features such as Button style, same-level category fallback, matching major retailer UX
  • Breadcrumbs JSON-LD for SEO
  • Priority email support
