Find it in the **Footer** group at the bottom of the section sidebar on any template. ## Blocks Add and reorder these in the sidebar: * **Menu** — a link column. Settings: **Heading** (default "Quick links") and **Menu** (default: your *footer* menu — edit links under **Online Store → Navigation**) * **Brand information** — pulls the headline, description, and image from **Theme settings → Brand information**; has its own **Social media icons** toggle * **Text** — heading + rich-text subtext (contact info, store hours, anything) * **Image** — an image with width (50–550px) and alignment * **App blocks** — from installed apps ## Section settings ### Email signup | Setting | What it does | Default | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Email signup | Show the newsletter block | On | | Heading | Signup heading | "Subscribe to our emails" | | Newsletter description | Rich text under the heading | — | | Email field placeholder | Placeholder inside the field | "E-mail" | | Subscribe button label | Button text | "Subscribe" | Signups become customer profiles in Shopify admin (marketing-opt-in), ready for Klaviyo/Shopify Email. ### Utilities | Setting | What it does | Default | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | Follow on Shop | Follow button for the Shop app (Shop Pay must be enabled) | On | | Social media icons | Icons from **Theme settings → Social media** | On | | Country/region selector | Market/currency switcher | On | | Language selector | Shown at the bottom of the footer | On | | Payment method icons | Visa/Mastercard/etc. from your enabled payment providers | On | | Policy links | Links to policies from **Settings → Policies** | On | | Center copyright row | Centers the bottom line | On | | Show "Powered by Shopify" | ⚠️ Some Shopify plans require this link — confirm with Shopify before hiding it | On | ### Footer layout & typography Fine-tune the editorial look: | Setting | What it does | Default | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | Heading letter spacing | 0–40, each step is 0.01em | 20 | | Uppercase footer headings | Caps on all footer headings | On | | Supporting text strength | Opacity of muted/supporting text (35–90%) | 62% | | Vertical spacing between major sections | 24–96px | 48 | | Spacing between menu columns | 16–64px | 32 | | Content max width | 600–1400px | 1100 | | Underline thickness | The newsletter input underline (1–3px) | 1 | | Show line above footer | Top rule | Off | | Subtle entrance motion | Fade-in as the footer scrolls into view (honors reduced-motion) | On | ### Mobile accordion Long footers get tall on phones. These settings collapse footer content into tap-to-open rows on mobile only: | Setting | What it does | Default | | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------- | | Collapse footer menus on mobile | Master switch | Off | | Open first section on mobile | First menu starts expanded | On | | Include newsletter in mobile accordion | Signup collapses too | On | | Newsletter starts open on mobile | Only if included above | Off | ### Spacing Top margin (0–100px), top/bottom padding (default 48/48 in the shipped preset), and a color scheme (**Scheme 3** — the dark scheme — by default). 💡 **Pro tip:** Keep the footer to 2–3 menu columns max. Put trust content (shipping, returns, sizing) in the product-page accordion instead — that's where shoppers actually look for it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
