Store Customization

Contact Us Page

Set up your Contact Us page with contact form, contact information, and custom sections.

Contact Us Page Customization

Your Contact Us page is a critical trust builder and customer service tool. Making it easy for customers to reach you reduces purchase anxiety and improves post-purchase satisfaction.

Why Contact Pages Matter

Customer expectations:

  • 89% of customers expect to find contact information easily
  • Visible contact options increase purchase confidence by 24%
  • Fast response times lead to higher customer satisfaction

A well-designed Contact Us page isn't just for problems—it's a trust signal that shows you're a real business ready to support your customers.

Accessing Contact Us Settings

Navigate to Customize Store in your admin dashboard and select the Contact Us Page tab.

Preview your Contact Us page anytime at: https://e2c.store/[your-store-name]/contact

The banner image appears at the top of your Contact Us page, setting a welcoming tone.

Contact Form Email

Configure where contact form submissions are delivered.

Set Contact Form Email

Enter the email address where you'd like to receive contact form submissions.

Best practices:

  • Use a dedicated customer service email (e.g., support@yourdomain.com)
  • Check this inbox regularly (at least daily)
  • Set up notifications for new messages
  • Consider using a shared inbox for team access

Important: If you don't set this email, you won't receive contact form submissions! Make sure it's a valid, monitored email address.

Verify Email Reception

After saving, test the contact form:

  1. Visit your Contact Us page
  2. Submit a test message
  3. Verify it arrives at your specified email
  4. Check spam folder if not received

Email Configuration Tips

Create a professional workflow:

  1. Dedicated email: Use support@, help@, or contact@ addresses
  2. Auto-responder: Set up an automatic reply confirming receipt
  3. Response time goal: Aim to respond within 24 hours
  4. Track inquiries: Use folders or labels to organize messages
  5. Team access: If multiple people handle support, use a shared mailbox

Titles and Subtext

Create two sections with customizable titles and subtexts to organize your Contact Us page content.

Configure Title 1 and Subtext 1

Title 1 suggestions:

  • "Get In Touch"
  • "We're Here to Help"
  • "Contact Us"
  • "Have Questions?"

Subtext 1 examples:

  • "We typically respond within 24 hours"
  • "Our team is ready to assist you"
  • "Fill out the form below or use the contact details provided"

Use Title 1 and Subtext 1 to introduce your contact form section and set response time expectations.

Configure Title 2 and Subtext 2

Title 2 suggestions:

  • "Other Ways to Reach Us"
  • "Connect With Us"
  • "More Contact Options"
  • "Find Us Here"

Subtext 2 examples:

  • "We're also available through these channels"
  • "Prefer another way to get in touch?"
  • "Find us on social media or give us a call"

Title 2 and Subtext 2 typically introduce your direct contact information section.

Save Titles and Subtext

Click Save Changes to update your section headers.

Title and Subtext Strategy

Best practices:

  • Set expectations: Tell customers when to expect a response
  • Be friendly: Use warm, welcoming language
  • Be specific: "We respond within 24 hours" is better than "We'll get back to you soon"
  • Show availability: If you have business hours, mention them

Setting Up Your Contact Strategy

Response Time Goals

Set realistic response time goals and communicate them:

  • Within 1 hour: Requires dedicated support staff (large operations)
  • Within 4 hours: Feasible for small teams during business hours
  • Within 24 hours: Standard for small businesses (most achievable)
  • Within 48 hours: Minimum acceptable (for one-person operations)

Communicate your goal in Subtext 1:

  • "We respond within 24 hours on business days"
  • "Typical response time: 4 hours during business hours"
  • "We aim to reply within one business day"

Multi-Channel Strategy

Recommended for most stores:

  • Contact form (always enable)
  • Email address (enable)
  • Phone (optional, if you can answer reliably)
  • Address (only if relevant/comfortable sharing)

Minimal approach (solo operations):

  • Contact form only
  • Or: Email address only

Complete approach (established businesses):

  • Contact form
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Physical address (if storefront/office)
  • Social media links (configured in Other Settings)

Customer Service Best Practices

  • List business hours if applicable

Common Questions

"Which contact methods should I enable?"

Enable only the methods you can reliably respond to. Start with the contact form and email, add others as needed.

"Do I need to provide a phone number?"

No, it's optional. Many successful online stores operate without phone support. Email and contact form are perfectly acceptable.

"Should I share my home address?"

Only if you're comfortable. Consider alternatives like:

  • City and state only
  • P.O. Box
  • Commercial mail receiving address
  • Leave address disabled

"What's the difference between contact form email and displayed email?"

  • Contact form email: Where form submissions are sent (hidden from customers)
  • Displayed email: Visible on the page for direct email contact

They can be the same address or different ones.

"How do I handle spam from the contact form?"

The form includes spam protection. If you receive spam:

  • Report it as spam in your email
  • Consider adding additional email filtering
  • Never click links in suspicious messages
  • Block repeat offender emails

Troubleshooting

Not Receiving Contact Form Submissions

  • Verify contact form email is correctly entered
  • Check spam/junk folder
  • Test with a different email address
  • Ensure email address is actively monitored
  • Try submitting from the form yourself
  • Check file size (under 5MB)
  • Verify file format (JPG, PNG, WebP)
  • Clear browser cache
  • Try uploading again

Contact Information Not Showing

  • Ensure toggle switches are enabled
  • Click "Save Changes" after enabling
  • Clear browser cache and refresh page
  • Verify text fields are filled in (not just toggled)

Formatting Issues

  • Use standard formatting (no special characters unless needed)
  • Test on multiple devices
