# Footer

The bottom of every page: link menus, a newsletter signup, free text, and automatic social + payment icons with your copyright line.

**Where to find it:** open the theme editor on any page and click **Footer** at the bottom of the left panel.

## Settings

* **Show social icons** (on by default) — shows icons for every social URL you've filled in under **Theme settings → Social media** (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook). Empty links don't render.
* **Show payment icons** (on by default) — automatically shows the payment methods enabled on your store (Visa, Mastercard, Shop Pay, PayPal…). The list comes from **Settings → Payments**; there's nothing to pick manually.

The copyright line (© year + store name) is automatic.

## Blocks

### Menu (up to 2)

* **Menu** (default: your "Footer" menu) — a row of links from a navigation menu. Edit its links under **Online Store → Navigation**. Use one block for shop links and a second for policies/help.

### Newsletter (1 max)

* **Heading** (default "Sign up for early access").

The form saves signups as Shopify customers tagged `newsletter` — same behavior as the standalone [Newsletter section](/sitesbyseth-docs/skeleton/sections/newsletter.md).

### Text

* **Text** — rich text; use for a short brand line, contact email, or business address. You can add multiple text blocks.

💡 **Pro tip:** the footer is where customers look for proof you're legit. At minimum, link your Shipping, Returns, Privacy, and Terms pages here (create them under **Online Store → Pages** or generate policies under **Settings → Policies**, then add them to your footer menu in **Navigation**). A footer with real policies converts anxious first-time buyers.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sitesbyseth.gitbook.io/sitesbyseth-docs/skeleton/sections/footer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
