  • About shared link previews

    When someone shares a link to your Square Online site on a social media platform, the appearance of the link is determined by Open Graph, the technical name of the internal protocol that standardizes how links appear when shared on social platforms. You can change the image and text that appear when a page of your site is shared using the integrated social settings in Square.

    Before you begin

    You can update shared links from your Square Dashboard.

    Changes to social media previews can take time to appear in social media results. How links appear is dependent on the social platform they're shared on.
