Adding a clickable phone number in Shopify’s Rich Text Editor is super simple. No coding needed. No apps. Just a one-liner.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to any Page, Product Description, or Section that uses the Rich Text Editor
  2. Highlight the text you want to turn into a phone link (like: Call Us Now)
  3. Click the link icon 🔗
  4. In the URL box, enter:
tel:+1234567890

Replace +1234567890 with your actual phone number (include the country code for international support).

  1. Hit Apply or Save

Done. When users tap it on mobile, it’ll open their dialer.

Tips from shopthemedetector.com

  • Don’t add dashes or spaces in the tel: link
    • ✅ tel:+15551234567
    • ❌ tel:1-555-123-4567
  • You can style it like a button using theme settings or inline HTML (Call Now)

This is an easy process which is very similar to adding a link to a Shopify page.

Here are the instructions for you to follow to effortless add a telephone number to your website that is usable.

Key Takeaways
1
Log into Shopify, navigate to the desired page/post for editing.
2
Highlight the text, click the link button, and enter ‘tel:’ followed by the phone number.
3
Add a brief description in the link title field, confirm, and save the changes.

Enter the Telephone Number

Now it is time for you to add your telephone number to your website. This is done by using the ‘link to’ box and adding the ‘tel:’ code followed by the right telephone number. An example of how it should look:

tel:+0-123-456-7890

For domestic only calls (i.e. within the same country) you don’t need to enter the country code. Otherwise, enter the country code.

Confirm

Now you need to confirm the adding of the link to the page. This can be done by clicking on the button that says ‘Insert Link’. This will close the dialogue box and insert the link onto the page.

Step 8 - Save

Now you can save the page/post.
