Let customers share products – privacy-friendly.
More reach, privacy-friendly
The Social Sharing Buttons OPAL lets customers share your products with one click via popular channels. The buttons use the services' regular share links – without cookies, third-party scripts or additional consent requirements. That keeps the page fast and data protection simple.
What the OPAL solves for you
Customers share products via up to 8 channels – purely via standard share URLs.
Privacy-friendly: no cookies, no third-party scripts – sharing only starts when the customer clicks.
Optional local click tracking shows the channels and the most-shared products per period in the admin.
Part of the OPAL family
OPALs are building blocks from OXID eSales: a proven, solid foundation that needs to be adapted to your system landscape and integrated into your shop.

Privacy-friendly share links
The buttons use the channels' standard URL share mechanism instead of their APIs: no cookies, no SDKs, no tracking pixels from social media providers. Sharing is initiated solely by the user.
Eight ready-made channels
Included: WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, Mastodon and email. You decide per shop which of them are active and in which order they appear.
Placement on three page types
Buttons on the product detail page (below the cart area), on category pages (shares the category) and on the home page (shares the home page).
Optional local click tracking
If you wish, clicks are counted only locally in the shop – without passing anything on to third parties. In the admin you see clicks per channel, the most-shared products and the total, filterable by 7, 30 or 90 days or all time.
Accessible, theme-aware display
Labeled buttons (icon + channel name) in high-contrast brand colors, accessible and with dark mode.
Language-dependent default share text
Without a custom text, a suitable default text applies per shop language; a custom text overrides it for all languages.
