Merchant Portal Left Navigation Bar V2
Recharge’s newly redesigned navigation bar features a fresh, intuitive layout that consolidates product offerings, tools, and settings into a streamlined lefthand menu, improving user experience by reducing clutter and providing more active view space.
Background:
Recharge's legacy lefthand navigation was a great improvement over our previous iteration, but as Recharge has continued to produce great products and features over the few years, the navigation bar has become bloated and disorganized. As Recharge continues to grow, a new and improved navigation is needed to better position how Recharge can power the routine business.
What's new:
With our new navigation, we have given it a fresh enjoyable design and also grouped out menu items into more intuitive sections to reduce clutter. Here is a list of key features the new navigation provides to boost the Recharge experience:
- All product offerings, tools, and settings now exist in the lefthand navigation providing more vertical space for your active view. Users can also collapse the sidebar to give themselves even more space!
- The Customers grouping now contains the Subscriptions and Orders pages. This helps save space and group related customer views.
- All navigation items are always visible to the user.
- If a user does not have permission to access a feature they will still see the menu item but the item will be disabled and a tooltip informs them they do not have the necessary permissions to view that page.
- If the store does not have the required billing plan to access a specific feature, you will see an icon and a tooltip directing on how to upgrade your plan to access these features.
- All settings, store information, tools, and Help features now exist in the bottom left of the menu.
- "Switch back to the old nav" item allows you to disable the new experience. Upon doing so you will be prompted with a survey asking for feedback.
