Header Block

The Header block sits at the top of your LinkShop page. It introduces your brand with a logo, title, description, an optional call-to-action button and your social links.

What It Does

The Header block is typically the first thing visitors see on your LinkShop. It shows your store name, a short description, your logo and icons linking to your social profiles. You can also add a button that links to any URL — perfect for directing traffic to a sale, a new collection, or your main website.

It comes in two styles. Classic sits on your page background. Hero puts the whole header in a full-width band with a background of its own.

Settings

Style — Classic or Hero. See Hero style below
Header Title — The main heading displayed at the top of your page
Description — A short tagline or bio that appears below the title
Show button — Toggle on to add a call-to-action button. When enabled, you can set the Button Text and Button URL
Show Logo — Toggle on to display a logo above the title. When enabled, you can upload or select a Logo image and choose its Logo shape: Circle or Rounded square
Social links — The icons under your header. See below

Your social links are set in the Header block, under Social links. Each link is one row with a drag handle, the platform’s icon, its link and a delete button.

Click Add social and pick a platform. The list only shows platforms you haven’t added yet
Type the link into the new row
Drag rows by their handle to reorder them. Your page shows the icons in the same order
To remove one, click the delete button on its row

You don’t need to paste a full address for most platforms:

A handle like @yourstore or yourstore becomes the profile link for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat, LinkedIn and Messenger
A phone number on WhatsApp becomes a WhatsApp chat link
An email address becomes a link that opens a new email
Spotify and Shopify need the full address

The link is tidied up when you leave the field, so you can see what visitors will get. A row you leave empty isn’t saved.

There are 14 platforms: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Messenger, Spotify, Shopify and Email.

Hero Style

Set Style to Hero to put your logo, title, description, button and social icons in a full-width band at the top of the page. The rest of your page keeps its usual background, so the band stands out on its own.

Choose the band’s Background:

Gradient — Pick one of six presets, or choose your own From and To colors
Color — One solid color
Image — A picture from your Shopify files, or one you upload there. Add an Overlay (Dark or Light) and an Overlay strength from none to 80% so your text stays readable on a busy photo

Text and social icons pick a readable color from the background automatically: light on dark backgrounds, dark on light ones. To choose the text color yourself, open the block’s Styling and set Headline.

The Hero style uses a larger title than Classic. Logo shape works the same in both styles.

Tips

Keep your description short — one or two sentences works best on mobile
Use the button to highlight your most important link, like a current promotion or your main store
Square or circular logos work best. The logo displays at a compact size, so avoid images with small text
Put the platform where most of your followers are first
For a Hero image, a photo with a calm area in the middle works best. If the text is hard to read, raise the Overlay strength
Your header’s title, description and logo are also what a shared link to your page shows, unless you set a share preview
