# Footer group

The **Footer group** holds the bottom section of your store, the part shoppers reach after they finish reading a page. It is where you put secondary navigation, contact details, newsletter signup, social links, payment icons, and legal policies. Because it is global, it appears on every page, which makes it the place shoppers look when they want shipping information, a returns policy, or a way to contact you.

Set it up once and it carries trust signals across the whole store, including checkout-adjacent pages where hesitant shoppers go looking for reassurance.

### Where to find it <a href="#where-to-find-it" id="where-to-find-it"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Steps:**

1. Go to **Online Store > Themes > Customize**.
2. Scroll the left sidebar to the **Footer** group.
3. Click **Footer**.
4. Use the section settings for layout and store-wide options, and the blocks for the columns of content.
   {% endhint %}

*Result:* the footer settings open and the preview scrolls to the bottom of the page.

### Sections in this group <a href="#sections-in-this-group" id="sections-in-this-group"></a>

| Section                                                    | What it does                                                                                                                                                                   | Read it when                                                                            |

| [Footer](/velare/set-up-your-store/footer-group/footer.md) | Layout and color of the footer, country and language selectors, Follow on Shop, payment icons, bottom menu and policy links, plus the contact bar, menu, and newsletter blocks | You are adding contact details, menus, or a newsletter form to the bottom of every page |

### Suggested reading order <a href="#suggested-reading-order" id="suggested-reading-order"></a>

1. Read [Footer](/velare/set-up-your-store/footer-group/footer.md) top to bottom once. The section settings decide the frame, and the blocks decide what fills the columns.
2. Build your Shopify menus and policy pages before you configure the block settings, so the menus you need are already there to select.
3. Come back to the country and language selectors only after **Markets** and your published languages are set up in Shopify.

### Related pages <a href="#related-pages" id="related-pages"></a>

* [Header group](/velare/set-up-your-store/header-group.md): the matching sections at the top of every page
* [Overlay group](/velare/customize-your-pages/overlay-group.md): the panels and popups that open over the page
* [Mobile navigation bar](/velare/set-up-your-store/mobile-navigation-bar.md): the fixed bar that stays with mobile shoppers even above the footer

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/set-up-your-store/footer-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
