Where to use share buttons

Share buttons make it easy for visitors to pass your content on to friends, colleagues and followers. Each share puts your page in front of new people. They work best on:

  • Blog posts, guides and recipes
  • Product pages, so shoppers can ask friends for an opinion
  • Event, webinar and job pages that you want to spread
  • Long articles, using floating buttons that stay visible while reading

Tip: Show the handful of networks your audience actually uses and put the rest behind the “More” button. Share buttons help visitors share your page. If you want them to follow your profiles instead, use social media icons.

How to add share buttons to your website

After you save the widget, Elfsight gives you a short embed code. Paste it into a custom HTML or embed block where you want the buttons to show, for example at the top or bottom of your posts. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Google Sites and any other website that accepts custom HTML. For step-by-step instructions for each platform, see our guide on how to add embed code to any website builder. If you use floating buttons, check your pages on a phone afterwards, and turn on hide on mobile if the buttons cover your content or other floating elements.

How to manage your Social Share Buttons widget

Log in to your Elfsight dashboard to edit your widget at any time, for example to add a network or change the button style. Changes go live automatically, so you don’t need to replace the embed code on your website. From the dashboard you can also create more widgets, copy the embed code again and see how many views your widget has used this month.

Frequently asked questions

Are the social share buttons free?

Yes. Elfsight’s free plan includes one widget with up to 200 views per month on unlimited websites, with a small Elfsight branding link. Paid plans start at $5 per month (billed yearly) and add more views and remove the branding.

Which networks can visitors share to?

More than 40, including Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn and Pinterest, plus email and messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and Facebook Messenger.

Can visitors copy the page link instead of sharing it?

Yes. A Copy link button copies the page URL in one click, which is handy for private chats and messaging apps.

Can I share a different URL than the current page?

Yes. You can set a specific link in the settings, for example a campaign or landing page.

Can I hide the share buttons on mobile?

Yes. A built-in hide on mobile option saves space on smaller screens.
