Social media icons

In addition to putting social media icons on your site's footer, you may want to feature them more prominently on your home page.

You can use the social media icons home page section for this.

Add a Social media icons section to your home page

To set up a Social media icons section:

STEPS

  1. From your Customize theme editor, choose Home page from the pages drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

  2. Scroll down the list of home page sections and click the Add section button.

  3. Choose Social media icons from the list of sections.

    This opens this section's settings.

  4. Add a Heading.

    This appears above the social media icons.

  5. Select which icons you would like to display in the section.

    Note that before any icons appear, you need to provide links to your social media profiles on the Theme settings > Social media settings area.

  6. Return to the list of Home page sections to find your new Social media icons section.

    Use the drag handles to rearrange the order of your Home page sections:

  7. Click Save.

Settings reference

The Social media icons section has the following settings:

Heading

Add heading text to be displayed above the list of collections.

We recommend keeping this to only a few words long.

Featured social media

Check all that apply.

Note that before any icons appear, you need to provide links to your social media profiles in the Theme settings > Social media settings area. Scroll to the bottom of the panel and click Theme settings to access your Social media link settings.

Outline section

When you enable an Outline section setting, it removes the section background, letting your store's global background color to show through. It then adds a border around the section, which uses your store's border color setting.

For more information about color settings, see the Colors article.
