# Footer

The bottom section displayed on every page. Contains your store's secondary navigation, legal info, newsletter signup, social links, payment icons, and contact details. Avante's footer is fully modular — you build it from blocks arranged in a customizable grid.

### How to find

**Theme Editor → Footer group → Footer**

### Layout

The footer uses a **grid columns** system. Set the number of columns, and then assign each block a width (short, medium, or wide) to control how they flow across the grid. This lets you create layouts like a wide newsletter column next to two narrow menu columns.

You can also fine-tune **desktop and mobile gaps** independently — control the spacing between blocks on large screens without affecting the mobile layout.

### Blocks

The Footer supports 17 block types — the most of any section in Avante. Here are the ones merchants typically overlook:

**Legal** — a dedicated block for copyright text, terms links, and policies. Includes a built-in **Back to top** button so visitors can scroll up without reaching for the header.

**Payment** — displays accepted payment method icons (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, etc.) automatically based on your Shopify payment settings. Add an optional heading like "We accept".

**Follow on Shop** — adds the Shopify "Follow on Shop" button, letting visitors follow your store and get updates through the Shop app.

**Secondary menu** — supports up to **5 separate menus** in one block, each with its own heading. Perfect for organizing footer links into groups like "Shop", "Help", "About", "Policies", "Legal" — all from a single block.

**Newsletter** — email signup form with an optional consent checkbox (useful for GDPR compliance). Add a caption below the form to explain what subscribers will receive.

**Contacts** — phone and email with proper link types, so phone numbers are tappable on mobile.
