Theme: Shine · Section type: All-template section
The Form: Newsletter section adds an email sign-up form with a heading, a short description, and an optional image. Use it to grow your mailing list from any page.

Add the section and set up the form

- In the left sidebar, click Add section > Form: Newsletter.
- Enter a Section subheading, a Section heading, and a Section description.
- Choose a Heading size from H2 to H5.
- Enter the Submit button label.
- Click Save.
Customers who subscribe are added to your customer list in the Shopify admin, tagged "newsletter".
Tip: Tell customers what they get for signing up, for example "10% off your first order", and how often you send emails.
Highlight words in the heading
- In Section heading, put the words you want to stand out between square brackets, for example: Join our [inner circle].
- To choose how highlighted words look, click Theme settings > Typography and choose a Highlighted heading style: Highlighted font, Highlighted color, or Highlighted underline.
- Click Save.
Add an image and choose the layout
- Under Image, select an Image. Without an image, the text and form show in a narrower column.
- Under Large screen, set Section ordering to Text first or Image first.
- Under Mobile screen, set Section ordering to choose whether the text or the image comes first on small screens.
- Click Save.
What customers see
- Large screens: the text and form sit next to the image, in the order you chose.
- Mobile: the text and the image stack on top of each other.
- Signing up: customers type their email address and click the button. If the address isn't valid, an error message appears below the field. After a successful sign-up, a success message appears below the form.

Troubleshooting
I can't find the section when I add a section to the header.
The Form: Newsletter section can't be added to the header. Add it to a template or to the footer.
The square brackets show in my heading.
Brackets turn into highlighted text only in the Section heading field. Check that you used square brackets [ ] and that both brackets are there.
I don't see the new subscribers.
In the Shopify admin, go to Customers and filter by the tag "newsletter" or by email subscription status.
