# Contact form

Let visitors send you a message from any page, with your own extra fields such as a phone number, order number or topic dropdown.

***

The **Contact form** section gives store visitors a simple way to get in touch with you. It always includes **Name**, **Email** and **Message** fields, and you can add your own text fields and dropdowns to collect the details you need.

### 1. Our guide to set up a Contact form section:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**

* In the theme editor, click **Add section.**
* Locate **Contact form.**
* Click **Save.**
  {% endhint %}

The form always shows these fields:

* **Name**
* **Email** (required)
* **Message** (required)

Fields you add as blocks appear between **Email** and **Message**, in the order of the blocks in the sidebar.

### 2. Section settings

* **Color scheme:** The colors of the section.
* **Heading:** The title shown above the form. Leave it blank to hide it.
* **Heading size:** 15–80px.
* **Description:** Text shown under the heading.
* **Make button full width:** Stretches the **Send Message** button to the full width of the form.
* **Section padding**
  * **Top padding:** 0–100px.
  * **Bottom padding:** 0–100px.

### 3. Block settings

**Text field block**

Adds a field where customers type an answer, such as a phone number or an order number.

* **Field label:** The field's name, shown in the form and in the email you receive. Use a unique label for each field so every answer is captured in the email.
* **Use long text:** Shows a larger, multi-line text box instead of a single line.
* **Required field:** Customers must fill in this field to send the form. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (\*).

**Dropdown field block**

Adds a dropdown list, such as a topic or a reason for contacting you. A dropdown field is always required.

* **Field label:** The field's name, shown as the first line of the dropdown and in the email you receive. Use a unique label for each field.
* **Dropdown values:** The choices, separated by commas, for example `Order question, Returns, Wholesale`. The dropdown is hidden if this is empty.

### 4. View contact form submissions

Shopify sends every form submission to your store's sender email address. See [View contact form submissions](/articles/faqs/view-contact-form-submissions.md).

### 5. Tips

* Keep the form short. Add only the fields you need to answer the message.
* Use a **Dropdown field** for the topic, so you can see what each message is about at a glance.
* Place the section on your Contact page, or add it to a Page template for a dedicated form, such as wholesale enquiries.
