Pages
There are four main tabs, which are always accessible on the bottom of SplatNet 3: Home, Schedule, Battles, and Salmon Run.

Home
This is the home and start-up page after opening SplatNet 3. On the top of the page, a series of changing scrolling tabs advertises Exclusive SplatNet Gear, Freshest Fits, Battle Records, and Salmon Run as well as other tabs that are time specific like Splatfest or completion specific like Wandercrust. Directly underneath is an option labeled Online, which displays the Nintendo Switch Online User Icons of the player's currently online friends. Thirteen other labeled page icons appear underneath this, with SplatNet Shop, Freshest Fits, and History having larger icons than the other ten.

Shop
The SplatNet Gear Shop is an online retail service that allows players to order special in-game gear not sold in shops using their in-game cash. This version of the gear shop hosts the The Daily Drop, and appears to have a daily stock themed after a particular gear brand. At the bottom of the page, the brand's favored ability is displayed.

After ordering from SplatNet, the player may meet Murch in Splatsville or Spyke in Inkopolis Plaza to pay for the ordered gear. Unlike ordering gear from another player, gear ordered from SplatNet can be bought immediately and is kept indefinitely until purchased or removed.

Freshest Fits
This feature allows players to view their Freshest Fits. Players can edit their Freshest Fits and create new ones if they have the space. While viewing a Fit, the player can see the total number of ability points granted by the gear in that Fit.

History
This page displays the player's Splashtag, equipped weapon and gear, the date they started playing, their all-time best rank, total wins, total badges, and favorite weapons.
