The issue I am having to knowing how I can add an custom third party font!

Any help?

Thank You!

Hi SYKOANALYST,

Hopefully, I can help! If you are using Shopify Email, to my knowledge, you unfortunately cannot add a customer third-party font to the email. This is one of the limitations of using Shopify’s emailing service.

A workaround would be to write your copy with your custom font in a design software, such as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, save as an image and insert into the email. If you pursue this option, it is important to be aware of how the font appears when reading on a desktop vs a mobile device as it will not be responsive and will appear much smaller on mobile. So you must find the correct balance. Also, make sure to add the alt tag to the copy for accessibility and to potentially avoid being marked as spam.

Another option is to use a proper emailing service like Klaviyo, where you can add custom fonts. Depending on the size of your email list, the pricing can be fairly reasonable and they are a more robust system.

Hopefully, that helps or at least is a starting point.

Cheers!
