Link Preview

The Link Preview section controls how your link appears when shared on social media, messaging apps, and other platforms that display URL previews.

What Customers See

When you paste a checkout link into Facebook, Twitter/X, iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, or similar platforms, they show a preview card with:

  • Title — The headline

  • Description — A short summary below the title

  • Image — A preview image

The Link Preview card in the editor shows a live preview of how this looks across different platforms.

Customizing

Click Edit to set:

  • Title — Keep it under 60 characters. Make it compelling and include the offer if there is one (e.g., “Get 20% Off Our Best Sellers”)

  • Description — Keep it under 160 characters. Expand on the title with details or urgency

  • Image — Upload or select an image using Shopify’s image picker. Optimal size is 1200 x 630 pixels
