# Contact page

Use the **Contact page template** to let customers message you through the contact form.

* Customize the **content and layout** your contact page
* Add **custom fields and buttons** to the custom form
* Use the **FAQ section** to answer common questions about your products

{% hint style="success" %}
Sending and receiving messages through the contact form is a Shopify feature. You can test Shopify's free theme Dawn to see if an issue is platform-related. For assistance, you can contact [Shopify support](https://help.shopify.com/en/support/).
{% endhint %}

## Create page and assign template

***

In your Shopify admin, **create a page** and **assign the \`contact\` template** to the page.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
From your Shopify admin, go to **Online store > Pages**. Click **Add page**.

{% hint style="success" %}
Pages are a Shopify feature: learn more in Shopify's guide for [creating pages](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/pages).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter a page **Title** (e.g. "Contact us").

{% hint style="info" %}
The title will not appear in the template. The title will be used for the page URL (e.g. **`www.store.com/contact-us`**).\
\
You don't need to add anything to the **Content** field. You will add the page content by editing the template in the theme editor.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **Theme template** dropdown to assign the `contact` template to the page.

{% hint style="info" %}
