Customize your email template

Start with a pre-built email template that already includes your branding; logo and social media links. Then, easily customize your email template with simple drag-and-drop content blocks, styling, and more! No digital design knowledge is required.

πŸ“ Note: If your store logo isn't displayed on your email template, you'll need to update your email brand settings. This will automatically populate your logo and social media links on all your marketing email templates.
