Insert email address on to a product description page

Topic summary

Goal: make an email address clickable within a Shopify product description.

Approaches:

  • Insert HTML directly: youremail (replace with a valid address).
  • Use the Shopify rich text editor: highlight the email text, click Insert link, set Link to “mailto:yourname@example.com”, then Save. A similar method works for phone numbers using the “tel:” prefix.

Developments:

  • The original poster confirmed success after following the rich text editor steps.
  • A follow-up user reported that the link either does nothing or triggers a 404 page. The helper requested confirmation that “mailto:” was included before the address and asked for a screenshot to diagnose.

Notes:

  • A screenshot was shared to illustrate the editor steps, and another was requested to troubleshoot the error. The help center link for inserting links is referenced.

Status:

  • Original issue resolved for the first user.
  • Troubleshooting for the 404 issue is ongoing pending confirmation/screenshot.
  • An additional question about adding product information into the email subject/body remains unanswered.
