    If you have a page with multiple sections, you can add a link to your site's navigation menu that jumps to any section of that page. This type of link is often referred to as an anchor link.

    Before you begin

    You can create anchor links from your Square Dashboard.

    Anchor links are only available for standard pages, and can't be used with item or category pages. You're also unable to grab the anchor link's URL within the editor. You'll need to obtain the URL from your live website by publishing it first if you ever need to use or share it.

    You can also add links to text, images, buttons, and your navigation menu. Review one of the following articles for more information on those types of links:

    2. Select the website header or website footer section. 

    3. In the editing panel, expand the Navigation option.

    4. Select the button to open the link options in a pop-up window.

    5. Add or edit your link information.

    To add an anchor link anywhere else on your website:

    1. Select the page element where you want to add the link to and select Add link from the editing panel. 

    2. Select a standard page from the drop-down menu. 

    3. Toggle on the option to link to a section of the page, and choose which section you want to link to. 

    4. Select Save.

    Edit or remove navigation menu anchor links

    1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard and go to Sales channels > Online > Website > Site design.

    2. Select either the header or footer section on your site. 

    3. Expand the Navigation option in the editing panel and select the button to open the link options. 

    4. Hover over the navigation link in the editing panel.

    5. To edit the navigation link, select the pencil icon, toggle off the anchor link in the pop-up window, and select Save. Your navigation link will then link to the entire page instead of the specific section of the page.
