How can I create a clickable link on Facebook? (SOLVED)

AndreaBR — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:15:43 GMT

Now that I have my shop set up, I want to be able to link to it on Facebook, but putting my URL in the post isn't clickable. How do I make it clickable? I even tried the Google suggestion of creating a campaign, and even that was pointless since it still didn't link back to my page. I have searched for weeks to find the answer to no avail. I would love some advice on this. Thanks!

Hi Kassi! Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my problem. Items are showing up on my Facebook shop via Pixel, but I want my shop link itself to be clickable. eremitacreations.square.site doesn't show as a clickable link if I post it in a post on Facebook. How do I solve this?

Jumping in for @Kassi for a moment here, @AndreaBR!

You should be able to share https://eremitacreations.square.site to Facebook - it will appear as a clickable link so long as you don't exclude the https:// bit. 👍✨

Open your site in another browser tab and copy the address. Go back to your Facebook page and paste the link. Save you from typos and forgetting the https.

Thank you so much! It never would have occurred to me to post the link like that -- most links don't require the https:// at the beginning to work, and this is literally the first I've heard it's required for Square links, so I never would have thought to try this. I just tried it and it works!!
