Pick a footer layout

You can not only change the content of your shop’s footer, but also the way your footer is arranged, meaning its overall structure. Your footer layout greatly influences the customer experience. It can facilitate navigation so that your customers can more easily find what they are looking for.

Overview of the different footer layouts

You can choose between two layouts: The Row layout and the Column layout.

Row layout

This layout displays your footer content in horizontally stacked rows. It is best suited if you want to display a smaller number of items in the footer.

This is how it can look like:

Column layout

This layout displays your footer content in vertically arranged columns with titles. It is ideal to display a larger number of items in a clear and structured way.

The different sections are distributed across different columns, but note that some sections are displayed in one column. On the tab , you can see which section is displayed in which column.

You can also edit the titles of the individual sections. For further information, refer to the section How to display and edit section titles.
