Customise Shared Social Media Links for Square Online Sites
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 standardises 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.
Note: 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.
