What is the footer section?
The Footer section is an important part of the store that can be used to communicate information such as contact details, legal information and site navigation links.
How to create a footer section
Steps
- Open the Theme Editor and in the Footer Group see that the Footer section is already present.
- A maximum of four blocks can be added and there are three different block types that can be used.
- Either edit an existing Footer block or select Remove block and add a different block type.
- Switch on Show social icons and Show payment icons. The social accounts also need to be set up in Theme settings > Social media.
- The Country/Region selector and Language selector can also be set. For the correct information to be shown here, the Languages and Markets must be set up in the Shopify admin area.
Although the Footer section is restricted to a maximum of four blocks, these blocks can be duplicated and reordered to account for slightly different content requirements. For example, two Image and text blocks and two Menu blocks could be added.
How to add payment icons
In the Footer settings, the Show payment icons setting can be selected. These icons are pulled in directly from Shopify based on your payment settings.
These can be changed in the Shopify admin area, by going to Settings > Payments.
How to add social links
To show social media links, they must be set up first.
Steps
- Open Theme settings and go to the Social media settings.
- Insert the required URLs. A Custom link with an additional footer icon is also available.
- Go to the Footer settings and tick Show social icons.
