How do I add a contact form to my Shopify store?

Before buying, many shoppers want to know they can reach you. Shopify comes with a ready-made "contact" page template: create the page, pick that template and add it to your menu. No code, no app.

Step by step

Screenshots show the interface used in the original guide (Shopify in French, Leadpages in English). In your account, buttons appear in your language.

  1. 1

    Create a page

    In your Shopify admin, click Online Store, then Pages (in some versions, Pages is under Content). Click Add page and title it "Contact".

  2. 2

    Write a short intro

    In the content box, say in two sentences when you reply (for example "within 24 hours, Monday to Friday") and what to write about: orders, returns, product questions.

  3. 3

    Choose the "contact" template

    On the right, under Theme template, choose "contact". This template adds the form (name, email, phone, message) below your text. Make sure the page is Visible, then click Save.

  4. 4

    Add the page to your menu

    Go to Content, then Menus, and open your main menu or footer menu. Click Add menu item, type "Contact" and pick the Contact page as the link. Save.

    Content > Menus: main menu and footer menu, where you add the Contact link
  5. 5

    Check where messages go

    Contact form messages go to your store email address, set in Settings. Make sure it is correct, then send yourself a test message from the page: it should land in your inbox (check spam too).

  6. 6

    Keep spam protection on

    In Online Store, then Preferences, the Spam protection section turns on hCaptcha for the contact form. Leave it on: it blocks bots without getting in the way of real customers.

Common mistakes

  • Creating the page without choosing the "contact" template: the page shows up, but with no form.
  • Never testing the form: if your store email is wrong, customer messages get lost.
  • Hiding the page: with no link in the menu or footer, nobody finds it.
