How to link a profile

  1. In the sidebar of the administration, navigate to Editor.
    The Editor opens.
  2. In the bottom bar, select Footer area.
  3. Open the tab Footer sections.
  4. Next to the section  Social Media, select Edit section.
  5. Activate the respective checkbox of the social network you want to link.

    Caution

    By default, all checkboxes are activated and the respective logos of the social networks are displayed in your footer. As long as you do not enter a link to your profile, customers will be forwarded to the home page of your shop when selecting one of these logos.
  6. Enter the link to the respective profile. The links have to begin with http:// or https://, for example https://www.example.com/username.
    For WhatsApp you need to add a wa.me link - like https://wa.me/phone number. Omit any additional 0 or + at the beginning of your phone number. For example, to connect the WhatsApp profile related to the phone number +49 152 12345678, you will need to use https://wa.me/4915212345678.
  7. Once you are done, select Save.

You have linked your social media profiles. The logos of the social networks with activated checkboxes are displayed in the footer of your shop.

If customers select a logo, the profile on the respective social network will be opened in a new tab.
