# Contact form

Use the **Contact form** section to let customers get in touch with you directly from any page.

Add custom text fields, buttons, and options for customers to fill out, and choose to make them required before submitting a message.

> To create a full contact page, see the [contact page template](/cornerstone/pages/templates/contact-page.md).

{% 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 %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Editing templates will change all pages that use the same template**. [Create new templates](/cornerstone/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md#create-and-assign-multiple-templates) for different page layouts, or [show dynamic page content](/cornerstone/general/adapting-your-theme/dynamic-content-with-metafields.md) in the same template.
