Can't get direct link to commence item..

How come I don't get a direct link when I'm on my site in my shop, I'm trying to grab links to items to share on Facebook and other social media and it never works. I end up using my Etsy links and I'm about to shut down my ecommerce on Etsy because its not working.

Hey @StFiacresFarm!  

You should be able to copy the URL of any product in your store to share on Facebook.  What's the address of your shop? I'll take a look.

www.stfiacres.com

I was wondering if it is because I have another domain linked to it (I have several variations of this address) or because I put code in to prevent pictures from being saved/copied. Though I've never had that issue before with other sites I've had on weebly.

I think it's because the only images on your product pages are images that Facebook doesn't want to use.

Take this one for example:

http://www.stfiacres.com/store/p17/Winter_Balm.html

You have a nice product image, although the code we use to make the zooming feature work makes it so Facebook doesn't use that image.  What you could do, though, is add an image to the Long Description area of that product page in the editor. This should give Facebook something to use if you share that product (although you'd probably need to use Facebook's Debug tool to scrape new info since I already checked it once).
