# 404 page

The **404 page** appears when visitors go to a page that doesn't exist on your store. This may occur when an incorrect URL being entered or because the page has been deleted or hidden.

You do not need to set up a 404 page—it shows by default—but you can choose to add custom theme sections and edit the default theme content.

## **Edit 404 page template**

***

The **404 page template** includes a simple layout that displays a 404 message and a button to redirect customers back to the home page.

To keep customers shopping, you may want to add some custom theme sections, such as a featured collection or a collection list. You can also edit the default theme content to change the wording of the title, subtext, and link label.
