Use Social media links on its supported pages to help customers with the task described below. Configure it in Rivio, save its activation state, and then add the corresponding block in Shopify’s checkout and accounts editor.

Supported pages and requirements

Supported pages: Thank you, Order status, Profile. Eligible Thank you and Order status app blocks are supported on Shopify Basic and higher. Profile placement uses supported current customer accounts. Your Rivio app plan must also include the feature. Check the page labels on the current block card before setup.

When to use this block

  • Help customers find your brand on social media.
  • Link to the correct regional brand profile where appropriate.

Configuration settings

Setting How to configure it
Network Choose the supported social network.
Profile URL Enter the full URL for your business profile.
Icons and layout Review the supplied size, spacing, and alignment controls.

Use the controls available in your current configuration screen. Save a clearly named configuration, then confirm that Shopify’s editor uses that same configuration.

Screenshot to add: The Social media links configuration form with its content and appearance settings visible.

Rivio blocks add content or input fields to supported checkout and account pages. Configure the content in Rivio and place the block in Shopify’s editor.

Example setup: A real Instagram profile URL and another supported social-platform URL.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open UI extension blocks and find Social media links. Check the supported pages on its card.

  2. Choose Set up or Manage and create a configuration with a clear internal name.

  3. Choose Instagram from the supported platform list and enter the full profile URL.

  4. Add another supported platform only if you maintain that profile.

  5. Adjust the offered icon size, spacing, alignment, and layout. Remove empty or unused destinations.

  6. Check the displayed labels/icons in the preview.

  7. Review the preview and any display conditions. For the first demo, leave optional conditions empty so you can isolate placement.

  8. Save as Active. Open the Checkout and Accounts Editor, select the intended configuration and supported target page, and add the matching Rivio block in a supported location.

  9. Select the saved configuration if prompted and save Shopify’s editor. Test the actual customer page on desktop and a phone.

Verify the result

Test case Expected result or verification
Instagram link selected It opens your intended store profile.
Second platform selected It opens that platform’s correct destination.
Mobile view Icons have usable spacing and no broken URLs.

Important: Use your own store’s profile URLs in the customer block. A social link does not enable social login. Checkout-step UI blocks require Shopify Plus. For another surface, use only the pages supported by this block’s card.

If the result is different

Check What it means / what to do
Configured but not visible Confirm the matching block is placed and saved on the exact supported Shopify page/configuration.
Only some buyers see it Compare Active status and condition inputs, including customer login and surface data.
Configuration is not applied Check the saved configuration selected by the editor block and verify the correct page.

Add and verify each supported placement

  1. Open Settings → Checkout in Shopify admin and customise the intended configuration.
  2. Select the exact supported page: Thank you, Order status, Profile. For Profile, use the customer-account page selector.
  3. Add the matching Rivio app block in a supported location and select the saved configuration if prompted.
  4. Save the editor. Add and save each other intended page separately; one placement does not establish every placement.
  5. Preview desktop and mobile, then test the actual checkout, completed order, or signed-in account appropriate to that page.

Limitations

  • A social link does not automatically follow an account or publish a post.
  • Check every URL independently; a recognised logo does not prove the destination is correct.

Display conditions depend on the page. Customer tags require logged-in customer context. Selected shipping method is unavailable on Order status. On Profile, only Customer, Language, Market, and Time on page conditions are evaluated; cart and order conditions are ignored.
