The footer is a template part shared by every template. It starts out as a single copyright line, and you build it up with ordinary blocks: sections for background color, a row for columns, menus for links, and payment icons for the bottom bar.

## Open the footer

In the Builder, go to **Template Parts** and choose **Footer** under **Site**. Changes apply everywhere once saved.

## Open from the admin bar

When you are logged in and viewing your site, hover **Edit with Flatsome Builder** in the admin bar and choose **Edit Footer**. The Builder opens with the footer ready to edit. In the dashboard, the same admin bar menu has **Template Parts → Footer** instead.

## Build the columns

1. Add a **Section**. Set its **Background** and, for a dark footer, set **Color scheme** to **Dark** so text and links flip to light colors.
2. Inside it, add a **Row** with one **Column** per footer column. Set each column's **Width** per breakpoint, for example 3 of 12 on desktop and 6 on phones.
3. Fill the columns: a **Logo** and short text, **Menu** blocks with a **Menu title** and **Menu links**, contact details, or a newsletter **Form**.

The **Menu** block is made for footers: a vertical list you type links into, with an optional divider. To reuse a navigation menu you manage elsewhere, use the **Accordion Navigation** block and pick the menu under **Menu**.

## Add the bottom bar

1. Add a second **Section** with a slightly different background.
2. Add a **Flex** block, set its direction to row on desktop and column on phones, and justify **Space between**.
3. Put the copyright **Paragraph** on one side and a **Payment Icons** block on the other.

## Payment icons

Pick the methods under **Icons** and drag to reorder them. The list covers cards, wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, bank transfer schemes, Klarna, PayPal, Stripe, and more. **Custom Icons** lets you upload your own image instead. Adjust **Background color** and **Border radius** under **Icon** to match a dark footer, and the block's font size to scale the icons.

## Social links

Add a **Follow Icons** block in any column. See [Add social follow and share links](/docs/social-links/).
