Purpose of Module

The Product Dropdown Menu places a javascript-based dropdown menu of your products in one of eight places within your storefront. Visitors can select a product from the dropdown menu and automatically be taken to that product. The product list is pulled from the database, and if you use availability groups, the list is based on the customer's available products.

Version Notes

Prior to version 3.0, Product Dropdown Menu was a System Extension module. It was converted to a Store Utility module in order to improve performance. If you are using a version earlier than 3.0, the module will be listed under System Extension Configuration instead of under Utilities.
