Click Footer in the toolbar or select a footer element in the canvas. The footer is composed of configurable sub-sections and is stored per language so translated legal and link text remains independent.

Layout modes

  • One Column — footer blocks are stacked vertically
  • Two Columns — blocks are assigned to a left or right column

Footer sub-sections

Each sub-section can be turned on or off individually:

  • Logo
  • Social Links
  • Legal Notice / Imprint
  • Free Text
  • Footer Links
  • Copyright
  • App Download Buttons
  • Unsubscribe text where supported by the template
  • Footer-specific font settings

Editing a sub-section

Select any footer sub-section in the canvas preview to open its settings. You can also navigate between sub-sections from the footer settings panel.

The footer design is synchronized from the primary editor, while translatable footer text remains specific to each language. Shopify reads the appropriate locale-specific footer Metafield when the email is sent.

Global setting: Footer changes apply to all 52 supported templates. Check every language after changing legal text, links, or a language-specific logo.
