I'm sure it's here somewhere and I just can't find it. I'd like to add a button to share a product on social media. How can I do that?
Hi @ClaytonKing. The easiest way is to use checkout links. To use checkout links in Square, follow these steps:
Create a Payment Link:
Share the Link:
Manage Links:
For detailed instructions, refer to these articles:
So you would have to do this for each item in your store? And store them...where? Sorry to sound curt, but I can't believe in 2025, with social media being such a driving force in online sale there isn't a better mechanism for handling this.
@ClaytonKing Since in your original post you said specifically “I'd like to add a button to share a product on social media,” that’s the question I answered. You did not say you wanted to share all products on social media, you said you wanted to share a product. I assumed you meant you wanted to do something like highlight a new or exciting product on social media. Not to sound curt, but if you meant something different than you posted, there is a better mechanism for handling this. Just ask the question you mean. LOL. Now, I’ll try to answer the question you meant to ask, instead of the one you asked.
In your item catalog, when you create/edit an item there is a section called “Where it’s sol.” If you have your Meta for Business account (Facebook and Instagram) connected to Square, you can toggle on the setting for selling on “Meta for Business” for as many items as you wish. Here’s a link to a Square help document about connecting with Meta for Business.
Thanks, @TheRealChipA - I guess my question wasn't clear enough. On other platforms and site, adding a share button to a product is a global thing. I didn't realize how it worked on Square. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
