Therefore, without taking a further minute, let’s get right to it.

Step 1: Add right code in the right file

To get social link icons in WooCommerce emails, first paste the below code in your child theme’s function file i.e., function.php

Step 2: Insert social media links

By default, above code add social media icons of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram to WooCommerce emails. Now, to send users to your social media accounts when they click on the icons. All you have to do is, insert your social media accounts’ link inside href attribute of the <a> tag, replacing the #. Same as the following example,

<li><a href=”https://www.facebook.com/diviextended/” target=”_blank”><i class=”fa fa-facebook” aria-hidden=”true”></i></a></li>

As you can see in the above example, I have replaced the # by the link i.e., https://www.facebook.com/diviextended/.

Step 3: Add more social media icons

If you want to add social media icons other than the icons available with the code. First copy the complete <li></li> tag from the above code, and paste it under the existing <li> tag code. Then, go to https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/, and search your desired social media icon.

Then, choose your desired icon. As in the above image, I’ve searched for the Pinterest and selected its very first icon. Now, copy the code altogether with the <i> tag.

Now paste this code inside the <li> tag that you have copied before to replace the existing <i> tag. Thus, in return you’ll get the code as the following,

<li><a href=”#” target=”_blank”><i class=”fa fa-pinterest” aria-hidden=”true”></i></a></li>

After this, insert your social media link inside href attribute, replacing the #, same as below.

<li><a href=”https://in.pinterest.com/diviextended/” target=”_blank”><i class=”fa fa-pinterest” aria-hidden=”true”></i></a></li>

Then save changes, and you’ve successfully added social media links to your WooCommerce emails.
