Footer menu section to appear in same row

Store Design
, , , ,

Topic summary

A store owner wants to display footer menu sections in a single horizontal row on their Shopify store using the Dawn theme.

Current Limitation:

  • The Dawn theme’s built-in Theme Editor does not support arranging footer sections (menu columns and newsletter) in the same row by default.

Proposed Solution:

  • Modifying the theme’s code can achieve this layout.
  • Since Dawn is a Shopify-supported theme, the store qualifies for free design time assistance from Shopify’s internal team.

Next Steps:

  • The store owner needs to verify their identity by logging in through the Contact Us page.
  • A Support Advisor will then discuss the desired changes and implement the code modifications on their behalf.

The discussion remains open pending the store owner’s decision to proceed with the free design assistance.

Hey @grethegreat .

Thanks for reaching out.

I appreciate that you have added your online store URL for us to take a look. Just to gather some additional context, could you let us know which theme you are using? As this information will allow me to advise the next steps.

If you are unsure about which theme is live on your online store, you can navigate the Theme Editor and select the three dots that are appearing towards the top left of the page. I took a screenshot from my test store to show you the section I am referring to:

Hey @grethegreat .

Thanks for the quick response.

Looking into the Dawn theme, I noticed that changing the footer sections menu columns and newsletter to appear in the same row is not available using the Theme Editor. With that being said, it is possible to have the footer section of the online store displayed as you would like by changing the theme’s code. Since the Dawn theme is designed and supported by Shopify, we can use free design time for Shopify themes to allow our internal team to make the changes on your behalf.

If you are interested in using the design time to make this change, you will need to login to your store using the Contact Us page. This will allow us to securely verify you as the store owner before speaking directly with a Support Advisor about the changes you would like to see.

Let me know if you have any questions.
