    • Adjust colors to match your brand.
    • Set button size, shape, alignment, and enable share counts if desired.

Adding Inline ShareThis Tools

Inline tools require an extra snippet of code to work on your site. If you would like to install our Inline Share Buttons, Follow Buttons, Reaction Buttons, or Social Feed tools on your website, you will need to add placement code wherever you want the tool to appear.

  1. In your ShareThis Platform, select the ShareThis tool you want to use and copy the placement code. Depending on the tool you are installing, the code should look similar to this: <div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons"></div>
  2. Navigate to a page on your Weebly site (e.g., homepage, product, etc) and drag the Embed Code icon from the sidebar, wherever you want the ShareThis tool to appear on your page.
    • Note: The code you added in step 9 enables our tools to work on your site but this placement code must be added wherever you want the tool to appear.
  3. Select Edit Custom HTML.
  4. Paste the unique ShareThis code that you copied from Step 1 into the text box.
  5. Click Publish in the top right-hand corner.

Note: The ShareThis tools may not appear on the backend of your website so you may need to visit your published website in order to view them.
