What Merchants Think

The "ShareThis Share Buttons" app has received mixed reviews from merchants. While some users found it simple to install and effective in providing a wide range of share options for social media, others experienced significant issues, including problems with functionality and poor customer service. Despite its challenges, the app is appreciated for being free and easy to use when it functions correctly.

Key Strengths

Ease of installation and configuration, often taking only minutes.
Comprehensive library of social platforms available for sharing.
No need for HTML integration or technical skills to set up.
Free to use.

Common Concerns

Inconsistent functionality, with some users unable to get the app to work as expected.
Issues with the app suddenly disappearing or failing after initial success.
Lack of responsive customer support when issues arise.

Final Thoughts

Although "ShareThis Share Buttons" provides a robust set of features for social sharing and is accessible to a wide audience due to its free pricing, the app faces notable challenges in reliability and customer support. For merchants, the app's potential benefits must be weighed against the risks of inconsistent performance.

Make sure you select the "on" toggle right above the preview. Its defaulted to "off" and prevents it from working. The preview toggle is so you can modify your sight in the background and see it within your theme editor without making it live. Overall, all the buttons seem to work as intended, very happy with ShareThis as it does what it says better than those who charge exorbitant amounts. Recommended

Does not work. Displays message: This page has been blocked by an extension. I did report this to their support. They never responded. Awful product, awful customer service.

Really enjoy these buttons, as my customers can use it to share my products to social media and I can, as well. Very convenient and has an extensive library of social accounts available.

Couldn't get it to work by editing the "sections" in the theme but added to one product and works with all products! Great! Many thanks!

Have not been able to get it to work properly since it was installed in January. Sent a request to get support and never heard back.

I just installed this app after about 5 hours of researching how to get social share buttons on my product page. Within 10 minutes I had this setup and can now move forward. 5 Hours of my life that I will never get back could have been saved with this app. I'm counting on you guys that it works as described. Love it now though!

Installed and configured in roundabout 30 seconds - that was nice. Looks awesome and many messenger services are integrated. Cool tool ‍♂️ You should offer an TIP-Button to donate some bucks :-)

I really like it, very easy to use. I installed it and it was ready to use immediately. I didn't have to enter any HTML code which was awesome!
