What is a Drop-down menu? & its Importances

A drop-down menu is a group of items that open when anyone clicks the button or its text. The customers can select an option from the displayed list.

The drop-down menu helps the customers to navigate easily. You can present a variety of choices (options) for your customers to select.

At first, there is only one option displayed on the menu. When a user clicks on that, the others will be displayed. You can either provide a single or several choices.

Based on the input, it gets displayed. If a customer clicks on a specific value, it is automatically present at the top (menu).

Okay, have a look at the below example to understand clearly:

Let’s say you have an online Ecommerce cloth store selling T-shirts. If you use the drop-down menu to provide the neck type, color, and size, you can save a lot of space on the product page.

Drop-down menus not only help to minimize the page space but also lower the page loading speed. Also, your customers don’t need to go through the full page to select the options. They just click the drop-down menu and pick up what they want.

Step 3: Creating the Product Form

I have created a form for a T-shirt (product) and added the relevant product fields. On this, I used the Select (Drop-Down) for the color, neck type, and size fields.

If I used Radio Buttons or others, it would occupy more space. So, I’ve used the Drop-Down menu.

Click the Publish button to save the form.

Then, on the Products page, go to the product you want to add to the created form. On that page, scroll down to the Product Data section, where you can see the Extra Product Addons option.

Click that, the Select Form opens, and select the form you’ve created. Save the changes by clicking the Update button (positioned on the right side of the page).
