Important Note About Social Sharing

This module handles the sharing functionality itself.
However, how your product appears when shared (image, title, description) depends on your site’s meta/OpenGraph tags.

For best results, it is strongly recommended to use:
Schema Markup Pro for OpenCart (also free)

This ensures:
• Proper social preview images
• Correct titles and descriptions
• Consistent display across Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.

Without OpenGraph data, sharing will still work, but previews may look incomplete or inconsistent depending on the platform.
