Do you want customers to be able to email you directly from your store? You can use contact pages and forms on your website. These are fairly cost-effective and can offer great benefits. A good option to look at is this one here.<\/p>\n

However, sometimes, you just want the customer to be able to send an email from their email mailbox direct to you. You could just provide your email address, or you can make it an automatic process by having a common piece of code on your website that opens their default mailbox and inserts your best email address into their recipient\u2019s box.<\/p>\n

This is a fairly easy process to do, and it is very similar to how you can add a link to your Shopify page. Here are the instructions on how you can do this.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/div>
1<\/div>
Log into Shopify, navigate to the desired page\/post, and open it in the editor.<\/div><\/div>
2<\/div>
Highlight the text, click the link button, and enter \u2018mailto:\u2019 followed by your email address.<\/div><\/div>
3<\/div>
Add a subject, choose how the link opens, and save your changes to enhance user email interaction.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Step 1 - Log In<\/h2>\n

The first thing to do is to log into your Shopify store.<\/p>\n

Step 2 - Pages\/Posts<\/h2>\n

Now you need to find the post\/page where you would like to add the link to mailing you. Once you\u2019ve found the page\/post, open it up in the editor.<\/p>\n

Step 3 - Highlight the Text<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve already written the text like \u2018email us now\u2019 or \u2018yourname@example.com\u2019 then you can highlight the text. Otherwise, you should create the text on the page that will link to the creation of the email and then highlight it.<\/p>\n

Step 4 - Click on the Link Button<\/h2>\n

Now you need to click on the link button that is within the editor panel on the page. This should open the link building dialog box.<\/p>\n

Step 5 - Enter the Destination<\/h2>\n

Now you need to enter in the details for the mail. To start with you need to add \u2018mailto:\u2019 and then you need to add your address without a gap between them. So it should look something like this.<\/p>\n

mailto:yourname@example.com<\/pre>\n
You can also add a subject field so this field is automatically populated when the email is started. This can be done by entering the\u00a0?subject=\u00a0text at the end, so your final entry within the dialog box should look like this:<\/p>\n
Mailto:yourdomain@example.com?subject=<\/pre>\n
Step 6 - Short Description<\/h2>\n
In the link title field, you can give a short, brief description of the mail to. For instance, you could give it a reference that allows you to identify it later on.<\/p>\n
Step 7 - Choose how the Link Opens<\/h2>\n
Now you can choose how the link will open. You will want to select the option that reads to open a new tab or window. This is the best option, though most of the time this is redundant because the \u2018mailto:\u2019 attribute in the link will tell the user\u2019s device to open up the default mail client.<\/p>\n
Step 8 - Confirm<\/h2>\n
Now you can click on the \u2018Insert Link\u2019 That is located at the bottom right corner of the dialogue box. This will confirm the edit and return you to the page.<\/p>\n
Step 9 - Save<\/h2>\n
Now you can save the page\/post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
