# Social media

Social media settings hold your store's contact details and the links to your social profiles. Customers use them for two things: getting in touch when they have a question about a product or an order, and checking that your brand is real and active before they buy. The theme also provides sharing buttons so customers can pass your products on to their own networks, which extends your reach at no cost. Fill these in once and the theme reuses them wherever social links and contact details are displayed.

### Where to find these settings <a href="#where-to-find-these-settings" id="where-to-find-these-settings"></a>

Go to **Online Store > Themes > Customize > Theme settings > Social media**.

### What to fill in <a href="#what-to-fill-in" id="what-to-fill-in"></a>

Contact information matters because customers may need to reach the store with product and service questions. It should include the store's phone number, email address, and links to popular social platforms such as **Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Whatsapp, Snapchat** and more.

The theme also supports sharing buttons for **Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, WhatsApp** and **Email**, so customers can share your content across their networks.

### What customers see <a href="#what-customers-see" id="what-customers-see"></a>

A social profile only appears on the storefront once you have entered a link for it, so any platform you leave blank is simply hidden instead of showing a dead icon. Sharing buttons let a customer send a product to a friend or post it themselves, which brings traffic back to the product page from outside your store.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/set-up-your-store/social-media.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
