Footer
How to set up footer columns, the newsletter sign-up, social icons, country and language selectors, policy links and payment icons.
The footer is one section in the Footer group. It has a row of columns built from blocks, an optional row of country and language selectors, and a bottom bar with copyright, policy links and payment icons.
You can add sections above the footer in the Footer group, and they appear on every page. For example, an Icon row of your shipping, returns and warranty terms, a Logo list of the stores that stock you, a Newsletter or Rich text.
Columns
Add blocks to create columns. Columns sit side by side and wrap onto new rows when there isn't room, so they stack on phones.
| Block | Settings | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletter | "Heading", "Text", "Show Follow on Shop" | An email sign-up. See below. |
| Menu column | "Heading", "Menu" | A list of links from a menu. "Menu" defaults to footer. |
| Text column | "Heading", "Text" | Rich text, such as a short about line or your address |
| Social media | "Heading" | Icons for the social links in theme settings |
The default footer has a Newsletter ("Subscribe"), a Menu column ("Depot") and a Social media column ("Channels").
The footer also offers the general blocks (Eyebrow, Heading, Text, Button, Collapsible row and Custom Liquid) and Generate, which creates a block from your description. Each one takes a place in the row of columns, at its own height, and a Button keeps its own width. A Heading block adds a heading to every page; for a column title, use the column block's own "Heading" setting. See AI-generated blocks.
Newsletter
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| "Heading" | Default "Subscribe". |
| "Text" | Tell subscribers what they'll receive. |
| "Show Follow on Shop" | Lets customers follow your store in the Shop app. On by default. Appears when Shop Pay is enabled for your store. |
Sign-ups are saved as customers with email marketing consent and the tag newsletter.
Social media
Add your profile links in Theme settings › Social media. Techno supports Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads. Only networks with a link get an icon. With no links at all, the column is hidden on the live store.
Country and language selectors
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| "Show country and language selectors" | Set up markets and languages in Shopify admin. On by default. |
The country selector appears when you sell to more than one country or region. The language selector appears when you publish more than one language. See Markets, currencies & languages.
Bottom bar
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| "Show policy links" | Links to each policy you've written in Settings › Policies: refund, privacy, terms of service, shipping and contact information. On by default. |
| "Show payment icons" | Icons for the payment methods enabled in Settings › Payments. On by default. |
