How to create a Shopify email link from your theme navigation

In this example, we'll add a link to your footer that will open a user's mail application so they can easily send you an email.

In your Shopify admin, head over to:

Online Store > Navigation > Footer menu > Add menu item

Add a new menu item

  • Give the link a name such as "Email us" or whatever text you want your customers to see
  • Set the Linkfield to: "mailto:name@example.com"
  • Replace the placeholder email address with your email address
  • ClickAdd, then clickSave menu and you're done!
