How it sells itself

Shoppers look for your social profiles and a quick way to reach you. ShopFlex adds floating social media icons and contact buttons to your storefront. Build an icon bar from official brand logos, flat icons, or your own SVG, or start from templates for WhatsApp and call buttons, quick-link menus, info panels, and chat greeting cards.

Many merchants want to link storefront visitors to their social media profiles but have no built-in way to do so. This app adds a floating icon widget to any page of your store, connecting shoppers to the social platforms you choose. Icon position, size, color, border style, and animation are configurable from the Shopify admin. A visibility setting controls which pages show the widget.

Key points
  • 10+ widget types: chat, WhatsApp, social icons, call buttons, and info panels
  • Customize colors, borders, shadows, animations, and placement on every widget
  • 250+ icons with official brand logos and a custom flat icon library
  • 30+ prebuilt templates to launch widgets without starting from scratch
  • Display floating social icons from 50+ platforms on your storefront
  • Customize icon position, size, colors, and animation style
  • Toggle between brand colors or a custom color for all icons
  • Upload custom icons for any platform or link type
