About rich menus
What is a LINE rich menu?
A LINE rich menu is a fixed menu that sits at the bottom of a LINE Official Account (LINE OA, formerly LINE@) chat window. Customers see it as soon as they open the chat, and tapping a section triggers an action, such as opening a link, sending a keyword, or claiming a coupon. From nail and beauty studios to restaurants, clinics, and e-commerce brands, a rich menu is a basic part of running a LINE Official Account.
A rich menu stays at the bottom of the chat, so customers see it as soon as they open it. It’s a good place for booking and other common actions.

Design tips
5 practical tips for rich menu design
-
01
Put your most important action in the most visible spot
Customers typically scan from the top left, so put core actions like booking in the left or top sections.
-
02
Lead with icons, support with text
Phone screens are small, so a simple icon with a short label reads best. Avoid cramming in too much text.
-
03
Match your brand colors and style
A rich menu is often a customer’s first impression of your brand. Keep the colors and style consistent with your brand identity to build a professional image.
-
04
Keep strong contrast between background and text
Pair light text with a dark background, or dark text with a light background. Colors that are too close can become illegible outdoors or on a dim screen.
-
05
Preview it on an actual phone
After designing on a computer, always check how it looks on a phone. Confirm the text is legible, the tap areas are well spaced, and the overall look is easy on the eyes.
