Customise social media links for your Square Online site
About shared link previews
When someone shares a link to your Square Online site on a social media platform like Facebook, 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.
Before you start
You can update shared social links from your Square Dashboard.
Changes to social media link previews can take time to appear in social media results. How links appear is dependent on the social platform they’re shared on.
If there are any issues with your link after it’s shared on a social platform, such as seeing an outdated preview image or description even though it’s updated in Square, contact the social platform’s support team for assistance.
