How it sells itself

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.

Let your products go viral. Tap2Share adds a beautiful, one-click social share button to your Shopify product pages — helping customers easily share products on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (Twitter), and WhatsApp. Perfect for stores looking to increase traffic, engagement, and brand reach — all without code.

Key points
  • 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
  • Add a share button directly on product pages for effortless promotion
