# Footer



The footer appears on every page. By default, it shows your store name and links to every policy configured in Shopify. Social links and menu columns are optional.

## Publish store policies

Add and maintain policies in Shopify Admin. The footer automatically links each configured policy in the shopper's active locale. Policies without content do not appear, so there is no separate list to maintain.

Supported policy pages include contact information, legal notice, privacy, refunds, shipping, terms of sale, and terms of service.

## Choose what else to show

* **Copyright** — uses the configured store name and omits the year by default.
* **Social profiles** — hidden until you add profile URLs. Supported services are Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and GitHub.
* **Menu columns** — use the [`enable-shopify-menus`](/docs/skills/enable-shopify-menus) skill to add links from a Shopify footer menu.

A dynamic year is not included because reading the current date can change how pages are cached. Add one only if that tradeoff is acceptable for your storefront.

## What’s next

Common additions include a Shopify-managed link menu, a newsletter signup, payment or trust marks, and market or language controls. Keep the footer focused on destinations shoppers may need from any page.
