The Social media settings hold the links to your social accounts. Facet turns each link into an icon in the announcement bar and in the footer. This page lists the supported networks and explains where the icons show.

​
What these settings control

  • Which social icons appear. An icon shows only when its link is filled in.
  • Where each icon leads when a shopper clicks it.

​
How to access

1

Open the Theme Customizer

In your Shopify admin, open Online Store, then Themes, and click Customize next to Facet.
2

Open Theme settings

Click the Theme settings icon in the left sidebar.
3

Open Social media

Expand Social media and paste the full address of each account, for example https://www.instagram.com/yourstore.
The theme editor with Theme settings open and the Social media group expanded in the sidebar.

​
Social media settings

Theme editor sidebar showing the Social media theme settings: Social media, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, and more.
  • Facebook: the link to your Facebook page.
  • Instagram: the link to your Instagram profile.
  • X: the link to your X profile.
  • TikTok: the link to your TikTok profile.
  • YouTube: the link to your YouTube channel.
  • Pinterest: the link to your Pinterest profile.
Leave a field blank to hide that icon. When every field is blank, no icon row shows at all.

​
Where the icons appear

  • Announcement bar: when its Show social media icons setting is on. See Announcement bar.
  • Footer: in the Brand block, when its Show social media icons setting is on. See Footer.
The icons always follow the order of this list, and take the text color of the color scheme around them.

​
Best practices

  • Paste full addresses. Start each link with https:// so it opens your profile and not a page on your own store.
  • Only list active accounts. An icon that leads to an empty or old profile costs more trust than no icon.
  • Test each icon. After saving, click every icon in the preview to check it opens the right account.

Announcement bar

Show the icons in the bar above the header.

Footer

Show the icons in the footer’s brand column.
