You can easily set Social Links within the Showit Design App under Site Settings under the Social Tab and then apply them throughout your design by setting a Click Action with a link type: Click Action > Social Link > (Instagram, Pinterest, etc.)

Linking Social Media Icons


To link your social media icons, first, locate those icons in your site design or add social icons to your design.

Next, you can open the social media page/profile you'd like to add in another browser tab and copy the full URL of the social page.

Once you have the URL copied, head to your site settings section and choose the Social Tab.

Here you can universally list your social profiles. Close out this menu once your social URLs are loaded in.

Next, simply select any text, icon, image, or other elements you wish to link to a social channel and choose the respective channel in the click action menu.

Other Social Media Links

If you'd like to create a link to a social media platform that isn't listed in your site settings, you can still set that link up for your icons! For example, if you'd like to set up a link to your Spotify account, you can copy a link to your Spotify profile and add it as a URL click action to that icon:

Snapchat

You can create a custom link to Snapchat to help grow your Snapchat following! When the icon is clicked, the Snapchat app will launch on the user's device and they will have the option to add your business.

First, add the icon to your site and place in the URL click action:

To create the custom URL, copy this URL and replace the ending text with your personal Snapchat username: https://www.snapchat.com/add/username-goes-here
