Better Sharing for WooCommerce

Also, if you’re using any of the following plugins or add-ons for WooCommerce then Better Sharing is a no-brainer.

  • AutomateWoo’s Refer A Friend add-on – Rather than forcing users to manually type up to 5 email addresses into separate text fields, Better Sharing modifies this interface to allow a comma-separated list of email addresses with a preview of the subject and body, as well as an optional contact picker so that users never have to type anything manually.
  • WooCommerce Wishlists – Override the wishlist’s « mailto » link with a beautiful modal dialog for sharing via email with a message preview and contact picker.

FAQ

How do I install Better Sharing?

Upload the directory /better-sharing-wp/ to your WP plugins directory and activate from the Dashboard. Configure the plugin at Dashboard > Better Sharing, where you can enable AddOns and manage General Settings like your CloudSponge license key and OAuth Proxy URL.

How do I get support?

This plugin is provided by CloudSponge. The best way to get support is to send an email to support@cloudsponge.com or find us in our Slack workspace.

Where do I report bugs?

If you encounter an issue that you believe is a bug, search on our support page for an existing topic before submitting a new one.

Do I need a CloudSponge license to use this plugin?

No. We’ve made sure that the core functionality of the plugin itself and of each addon will help you build virality into your website even if you don’t have a CloudSponge license. Of course, enabling our contact picker will make this even better, but it’s not required.

Do you have an AddOn for XYZ plugin?

If it’s not mentioned in this documentation then we haven’t built it yet, but we desperately want to hear from you about it. Please get in touch with us and let us know what AddOn you want us to build next.
