Configuring the footer

The footer of ThemeWare® has a modular structure. You decide which content (widgets) appears in the footer, in which section it is placed and in which order it is output.

Section Content
Upper section First zone for widgets, for example newsletter or benefits
Main section Main zone for widgets, for example footer navigation, about us, service hotline
Lower section Third zone for widgets, for example payment and shipping methods
Logos footer Separate area below, for example for awards
Copyright footer Bottom line with copyright, service navigation and branding

Note: A reduced footer is output in the checkout. You configure it in the block "Minimal footer (in the Checkout)".

Step 1: Define the columns

  1. Open the administration of your shop
  2. Switch via the main navigation to the "theme administration" ("Content" => "Themes")
    • Note: In the Shopware Cloud you will find the "Themes" area directly in the main navigation.
  3. Now click on your ThemeWare® theme to start editing
  4. Switch to the tab "Footer"
  5. Open the block "Layout"
  6. In the section "Columns" define the "Number of columns @Tablet (≥768px)" and the "Number of columns @Desktop (≥1200px)"

Step 2: Assign and arrange the content

  1. Open the block "Assigning and arranging content"
  2. Here you will find the sections "Element 1" to "Element 11", each with the same configurations:
    • "Content (Widget)": the widget that is output in this place
    • "Section": "Upper section", "Main section" or "Lower section"
    • "Order": the sorting within the section (a lower number comes first)
    • "Element width": the width of the element
    • "Mobile view": the behaviour in the mobile view (for example collapsible)
  3. Set the "Content (Widget)" of the elements you do not need to "don't show"

The following widgets are available:

  • About us
  • Awards, seals or certificates
  • Benefits
  • Communities or social media
  • Custom text
  • Footer navigation
  • Service hotline
  • Location or retail store
  • Newsletter
  • Payment and shipping methods
  • Payment methods
  • Revocation
  • Shipping methods

Tip: You configure the content of the widgets themselves in the tab "Widgets". There you will find a separate block for every widget.

Step 3: Adjust the appearance

The blocks "Upper section", "Main section", "Lower section" and "Copyright footer" each offer the same sections:

  • "Basic configuration": paddings and margins, alignment of the columns
  • "Colour configuration": text, link and background colours
  • "Background image": your own background image including image size, position, repeat and attachment
  • "Typography": text alignment

You will find the overall settings (background colour, background image, font families and font sizes of the entire footer) in the block "Layout".

Step 4: Save and check

  1. Save the theme configuration
  2. Switch to the storefront and reload the page

You have now configured the footer.
