LeadDyno’s Social Media Sharing Widget is a “one-click” way for your website visitors to share your product on social media.

About the Sharing Widget
Social platforms include:
It works just like the social media sharing buttons you see on Amazon.com when you view or buy a product there.
When your website visitors click a sharing button, they will automatically be logged in to their account on that platform. And they’ll have a message ready to post for their friends and followers that is specific to your product. For example, if one of your visitors clicks the Facebook button, they’ll be logged into Facebook with a Wall Post ready to go. That Wall Post will contain your product information. LeadDyno’s Sharing Widget is “smart” enough to pull these details from your page automatically (again, just like Amazon).
The sharing links are tracked by LeadDyno’s affiliate tracking code. If the person is already an affiliate of yours, they will get credit for every click and purchase they send your way as a result of their "share".
Installation
Installation involves configuring the sharing widget code to match your desired styling, then simply copying and pasting it onto a page where you’d like a sharing widget.
To get started, navigate to Account - Utilities, then click the add button for the sharing widget feature.
Set up your sharing widget by clicking Configure Widget.
Choose the Style, Icon Size, Set Padding, and decide whether to display the Sharing names and Label. Once completed, click Finish Configuration.
If you’re using an e-commerce integration, this may involve editing a product page’s theme template to include our sharing widget. To get the code, click Copy Widget HTML to Clipboard or View Raw HTML. There are many different types of websites, and if you are unsure how/where to copy the code, contact your developer.
Sharing Tracking
When an affiliate or customer shares your page, it will appear on your Sharing Widget dashboard, showing how many visits and leads were generated from the share. If the share came from an affiliate, you will see the source as that affiliate’s name; if shared by a customer in general, you will see "Unknown" as the source.
