- Enter your social media URLs in the provided fields.

Method 2: Manually Adding Icons with Code
If your theme does not support adding social media links through the theme editor, you can manually add them using code.
- Log in to your Shopify Admin:
- Go to your Shopify admin page and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to Online Store:
- From the left-hand menu, click on Online Store and then Themes.

- In the theme code editor, look for a file named
footer.liquid
(or similar, depending on your theme). This file is usually located under Sections or Snippets.
- Add HTML for Social Media Icons:
- In the
footer.liquid
file, find the place where you want to add the social media icons. - Add the HTML code for your social media icons. Here’s an example of how it might look:
<div class="social-media-icons"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yourprofile" target="_blank"> <img src="https://yourshopifystore.com/path/to/facebook-icon.png" alt="Facebook"> </a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yourprofile" target="_blank"> <img src="https://yourshopifystore.com/path/to/instagram-icon.png" alt="Instagram"> </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/yourprofile" target="_blank"> <img src="https://yourshopifystore.com/path/to/twitter-icon.png" alt="Twitter"> </a> </div>
- Add CSS for Styling (optional):
- You may need to add some CSS to style the icons. You can add this CSS to your theme’s CSS file, usually found under Assets >
theme.scss.liquid
ortheme.css.liquid
.
.social-media-icons a { display: inline-block; margin: 0 10px; } .social-media-icons img { width: 24px; height: 24px; }
- Save Your Changes:
- After adding the HTML and CSS, save your changes.
