Venue - Sections - Create a customizable contact form

The Venue theme (V9.0 onwards) gives you the ability to display a contact form on any of your store's pages.

You can customize the contact form with the options listed below:

• Text field
• Checkbox
• Dropdown
• Headings & Labels
• Background color
• Section dividing line
• Bottom margin reduction

In this article, we will explain how you can create a 'Contact Us' page which already includes a contact form for you to customize, and how to add a contact form section to other pages on your store.

Assign the pre-built contact template to a page

1. Log in to your Shopify store admin.
2. Select Online store > Pages, and click the Add page button (or you can use an existing page intended to be used as a contact page).
3. Name the page 'Contact Us' or whatever your preference.
4. In the theme template dropdown, select the contact template
5. Click Save and check your work.

Edit the pre-built contact form template

1. Click the Customize button in the Themes area of your Shopify admin. This will take you to the theme editor.
2. Once the theme editor is open, select the Home page option at the top of the screen.
3. Select Pages within the dropdown menu, and then select the Contact template.
4. On the left sidebar, you will see a contact form section is already included in the template. You can select the Add block option, and add any blocks you'd like to your contact form.

You have the ability to add three different types of additional contact form blocks:
