About the Footer
The Footer is an excellent tool for closing your website's homepage. This section, at the very bottom of the page, is where your customers can find extra information and links. This is where customers can easily find the location and contact information for the store, the payment methods accepted at the store, and subscribe to the store's newsletter, among other things. There are many customizable options and possibilities when it comes to utilizing and customize your website's footer.
Organizing the Footer
Finding the Footer
- From your myShopify homepage, go to Online Store > Themes
- Find and click Customize
- You will see the customization menu on the left of your screen. Click Footer
Editing the Footer
Once you have opened the customization page for your site's footer, you will notice the seven categories for customization: Background Image, Store Information Setting, Your Account Setting, Our Company Setting, Store Hours Setting, Newsletter Setting, and Payment Setting.
Each of these categories holds different options for customization. We recommend you work through each as a store to craft a footer that fits the purposes of your store.
Background Image
The first customizable section of your footer is the Background Image. This image will serve as the back setting for all of the information given in your footer. Because of this, please remember to choose an image that will contrast the information and not accidentally cloud of hide any of it. Please also be aware that the image you choose will stretch across the width of the screen.
In order to add a background image to your footer, please click Select Image and choose the image that best fits your footer. Because of its banner-like length, we recommend that you pay close attention to the recommended image size given. That recommended size will look something like this:
Please note that the recommended size is the optimal size for your image to clearly be displayed across different devices. If your image is a different size, it may not be displayed clearly
