# Sticky header

Allow quick access to navigation at all times

Using a sticky header on your store offers several advantages that can enhance the user experience, improve navigation, and potentially increase conversions. A sticky header refers to a navigation menu or header that remains fixed at the top of the webpage even as the user scrolls down:

### Benefits

Some of the benefits of using a sticky header include:

* **Improved navigation**: A sticky header ensures that the primary navigation menu is always accessible and visible to users, regardless of where they are on the page. This makes it easier for visitors to find essential links, product categories, and other important information, reducing the chances of them getting lost or frustrated.
* **Enhanced user experience**: Users can quickly access various parts of your website without having to scroll back up to the top. It streamlines the navigation process and provides a smoother browsing experience, which can lead to increased user satisfaction.
* **Space optimization**: Shopify store themes often have limited space, especially on mobile devices. A sticky header allows you to use the available space more efficiently by stacking the header elements neatly. This is particularly valuable on mobile, where screen real estate is limited.
* **Easy access to Search and the Cart**: Users can quickly search for products or click on the cart icon to bring up the Card drawer or page. 

### Sticky header scroll behavior

Pipeline includes these options in the header settings:

1. Default - No sticky header
2. Sticky header - Sticky on down scroll and on up scroll
3. Sticky header only on scroll up - Sticky behavior occurs only as the customer starts to scroll upwards on the page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://pipeline.groupthought.com/header/header/sticky-header.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
