Make Phone number and e-mail address clickable in Announcement bar

Store Design

Topic summary

A store owner wants to make their phone number and email address clickable (as mailto: and tel: links) in their Shopify announcement bar.

Initial Solution Attempt:

  • Another user provided HTML markup code using mailto: and tel: links that should create clickable elements
  • The code was meant to be pasted directly into the announcement bar settings

Problem:

  • The suggested solution didn’t work as expected
  • When implemented, the code appeared as plain text rather than functioning links
  • The announcement bar section appears to not accept HTML/href links in its current configuration

Current Status:

  • The issue remains unresolved
  • The original poster is asking for help on how to modify their announcement bar section to accept clickable links
  • They’re open to using multiple announcement bars if necessary to achieve this functionality

We would love to have the email be clickable and open your email program and the phone number to open your call, if you get what i mean.

if thats not possible in one bar, we dont mind having additional announcement bars under that.

thank you for your help!

Hey @FL28
To make your phone number and email clickable you can make the following changes in your announcement bar.

Apply code Hello10 and get a 10% discount on your first order / [office@reiterwelt.eu](mailto:“office@reiterwelt.eu”) / +43 670 653 1799

Just simply copy paste the above in your announcement bar and then it should be clickable!

Thanks for the suggestions but this doesnt really do anything, it basically just copy pastes your whole thing into the Announcement bar as plain text. Like this

Can you maybe tell me how to modify my section so it accepts ahrefs links in my announcement bar?
