How to Change Customer Sidebar Menu in Magento

It's vital for online stores to have intuitive and well-organized menus and help customers find the information they are looking for. Thus by giving access to the information about products, promotions, or latest collections you will definitely turn your guests into potential customers. By default, you can place information everywhere on your website including banners on product pages and catalog pages, or redirecting the users to specific CMS pages on the Homepage.

Now you can also reach out to your customers directly through the advanced customer sidebar menu navigation. All the customer’s details, orders, favorite products are stored on the customer’s Dashboard. Using the Customer's Menu Manager extension for Magento you can edit or add new sections to the menu. Thus all the necessary and important information will be stored in one place.

To customize the default menu of your website, you need to go to the Backend, click System > ITORIS Extensions and then Customer Menu Builder.
