Social share module

Note

The Retail Interest Group by Dynamics 365 Commerce has moved from Yammer to Viva Engage. If you don't have access to the new Viva Engage community, fill out this form (https://aka.ms/JoinD365commerceVivaEngageCommunity) to be added and stay engaged in the latest discussions.

This article covers social share modules and describes how to add them to site pages in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce.

With social share modules, users can share e-commerce site page URLs on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Users can also share site page URLs through email. To help users share product information, use social share modules on product details pages (PDPs).

Each social share module acts as a container for social share item modules. You can configure each social share item module to point to a specific social media site. The module supports integration with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and email. When a site user selects a social media symbol, the module launches an HTML iframe for the respective social media site. Within the iframe, the user can sign in and post the page content that they were viewing.

Each social media platform might track cookies, so this module requires site users to accept the cookie consent notification message. When users don't accept cookie consent, the module is hidden on the page. For more information, see Cookie compliance.

The following illustration highlights an example of a social share module used on a product details page.
