Problem and result
Shopify Sticky Header: Navigation That Follows the Shopper Down the Page
On a long collection or product page, the menu, search and cart sit far above the shopper after a few swipes. Every trip back to the top is a chance to leave. A pinned header keeps the way to your cart and your catalog one tap away, as long as it is built so it does not cover content or flicker.
The header disappears after one scroll
Shoppers who scroll a long page lose the menu, the search box and the cart icon. They have to swipe all the way back up to change category or check out, and on mobile many simply give up and close the tab.
Navigation that stays within one tap
The header remains pinned with a soft shadow, the page does not jump when it sticks, and anchor links land below it instead of underneath it. Search, menu and cart are always reachable on every page of your store.
What is included
What Your Shopify Sticky Header Includes
When you ask for a Shopify sticky header, you get theme code written against your actual header structure, tested on real devices and documented, so the behaviour is predictable and you can see exactly what changed.
Implementation checklist
- Header pinned with CSS sticky or fixed positioning chosen for your theme's structure
- Smooth behaviour with no layout jump when the header sticks
- A soft shadow or border that appears only after the first scroll
- Optional shrink on scroll so the header takes less room on small screens
- Optional hide on scroll down and return on scroll up for long pages
- Announcement bar and header treated as one block so they do not overlap
- Anchor links and the cart drawer offset so nothing hides under the header
- Handover note showing where the behaviour is set and how to switch it off
Your theme may already have a sticky header toggle. If so, we tell you before you spend anything, and the task then focuses on the parts the toggle gets wrong: the jump, the overlap and the mobile behaviour.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Make Header Sticky / Fixed on Scroll on Shopify Started
Three ways to give access, then a short list of facts about the sticky header, which is built in a duplicate theme first whichever route you choose, with nothing live until you approve.
Collaborator access
Collaborator access is all the sticky header requires from your side, and it stays under your control from first request to final handover.
No store yet? We build it first
If your store does not exist yet, the sticky header is built inside our Partner account and the whole store moves to you when it is ready.
Prefer to share a login?
A staff account is an option for the sticky header too, although collaborator access is easier to remove later, so we suggest it first.
Pages to cover
Tell us whether every page should have a pinned header or only some, such as collections and products.
Behaviour you prefer
Pin only, shrink on scroll, or hide on scroll down. If unsure, ask and we will recommend one.
One decision maker
A single decision maker for the sticky header, so comments arrive together and fit the two included rounds.
Should you be unsure which access route works for the sticky header, mention it in the form after checkout and we will advise you.
