Editing the Footer section in theme editor

The footer section is the navigation at the bottom of your web pages. An effective footer section may contain links to other parts of your website, such as store policies, terms, and store introduction. It's a great place to build trust and enhance user experience by making it easier and faster for people to access the information they need. Here is an example of a footer section in the Hero theme.

Note

The types of functions you can set up in the footer section may vary depending on what Shoplazza theme you use.

2. Click the Footer section to edit the properties.

Layout

If your customers are viewing your store pages on mobile devices, the footer menu will be compressed into vertical layers for shortening long pages of content into broad, easy-to-scan topics. Here, you can choose to have your footer navigation either expandable or always visible by default.

Further editing your footer content

Add more content blocks to display different information about your store.

Navigation

In Navigation, assign a menu and edit the menu title.

Contact information

1. To add contact information, click on the Contact and Social block.

2. Here, you can add and manage the block title and add your phone number.

Note

Adding your phone number in the footer section is not mandatory, but we encourage you to have multiple types of contact that enhance your store's reliability and make your business trustworthy.

3. Select a page to link other page content to your contact. You can assign a page to your text display and redirect customers to other pages of your store. For example, if your store offers live chat services, you can redirect customers to contact you from a Custom URL webpage by clicking Live chat.

4. Use the custom text box to add any additional contact information about your store.

5. Adding social proof is an essential element in evaluating the success of your store. You may enable this option to display your social account information.

Note

Your social account information can be managed in Theme settings > Social Media.

6. Click Theme settings to enable displaying your social media icons.

7. Fill in your social media URL correspondingly in each column to display the icon.

Payment methods

2. Here, you can edit the title of this menu in the Heading. Under Icons, there is a default list of checkout payment options that you can modify to display the payment methods available in your store. For instance, you can add the PayPal icon by typing "Paypal" and pressing the "Enter" key.

Note

Icons must be written in the correct format to be displayed.

An effective footer section improves a store's overall usability. Potential customers turn to the footer section to find more options that are not available in global navigations. A refined footer section can also remind your customers about other offerings from your store.
