The Social Icons are small images displayed on the frontend of your Online Store. Their purpose is to provide your customers with easy access to the social profiles of your website so they can more easily find and connect with the Store. In this tutorial we will show you how to manage the Social Icons block in AbanteCart.

This action will redirect you to the Layout & Blocks Manager page where you will see all the blocks currently added to the Default Page Layout. The Social Icons block should be displayed under the Header group of modules.
