Customization
Upload Your Logo
Click on Browse to select a custom logo. For best results, use a 24-bit PNG image that is around 162px x 50px
Make sure the prefix on the image URL is https://
Show Add To Cart Buttons?
Choose whether to show or hide the Add to Cart buttons on your Shop and category pages. This is beneficial if your shop uses primarily Variable products, or you want to encourage click-throughs to the main product page. We recommend hiding them to increase use of the the share and Comment functionality on product pages that helps drive traffic to your site.
Reviews
Choose whether to enable Facebook reviews on Products or hide them.
Showing Facebook Comments will allow visitors to comment, tag and recommend your product to friends, which helps spread the word about your products and website through activity logs, notifications and shares and is one of the primary features of Social Commerce vs your main site.
Comments
Choose whether to enable Facebook comments in posts or pages you link to in the Social Commerce menu vs using normal WordPress comments.
Showing Facebook Comments will allow visitors to comment, tag and recommend your posts to friends, which helps spread the word about your products and website through activity logs, notifications and shares and is one of the primary features of Social Commerce vs your main site. We only recommend enabling standard WordPress comments if you are using a plugin that adds Facebook login for your comments, such as Disqus.
Custom Sidebar Text
Use this text area to enter in any copyrights or links to your main site. You can use basic HTML in this area to add links or icons.
Custom CSS
Social Commerce is designed to fit into the overall Facebook interface and experience, which builds visitor trust that results in higher conversions. If you wish to customize any aspect of the display, such as colors, hiding elements or fixing extension content, you may do so with CSS overrides here. See the following for general advice on CSS customization:

Social & Sharing
Facebook Sharing Options

- *Disable only if you are using a custom Social Sharing plugin that has its own OpenGraph that conflicts with Social Commerce, such as Yoast SEO.
- Upload a custom site graphic that will display in Facebook shares if no Featured or Product image can be found. The image must be 200×200 pixels or larger.
Social Sharing
