What is Avantify: Social Media Icons?
Avantify adds customizable social media icons and share buttons across a storefront, supporting unlimited networks including Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Messenger. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a 4.9/5 rating on 86 reviews. It's developed by Avantify, based in Hanoi, Vietnam, and launched in January 2024.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants add social account links with flexible icon styles, positioned across the storefront by product page, cart, checkout, collection pages or custom placement. The free plan allows a limited number of icons; the paid tier unlocks unlimited icons, tooltip hover text and removes the app's brandmark. It's currently English-only.
Why choose Avantify over another social icons app?
Unlimited social network support on the paid tier, at a very low monthly cost, is a competitive combination against similarly scoped apps like Dakaas or the free Social Bar app. One review specifically flags the free plan's one-icon limit as too restrictive, a fair critique worth checking directly if a merchant plans to stay on the free tier long-term. Reviews consistently praise support (Cara named directly) for going beyond a basic ticket, including updating a merchant's site layout exactly as requested and refreshing outdated icons like the Discord logo on request.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Unlimited social networks supported, on the paid tier.
- Flexible placement: product, cart, checkout, collection pages and more.
- Custom icon styling, with tooltip hover text on the paid plan.
