GetSocial TOOLS

Social sharing and activity tools for WordPress

GetSocial TOOLS was the paid version of the GetSocial social sharing and analytics extension. It included tools for sharing content, following social profiles, and interacting with sharing capabilities on desktop and mobile. Setup was designed to require no coding, and social analytics appeared in dashboards.

Share layouts, prompts, and mobile settings

Horizontal and floating share and follow buttons support Facebook, X, WhatsApp, email, and other networks. The toolset also includes native social buttons, reaction buttons, a Welcome Bar, and the Hello Buddy smart pop-up. Hello Buddy can prompt users to share, subscribe, or visit a specific page. Its triggers include time spent on the site, percentage of the page scrolled, and exit intention.

Mobile Share and Follow Buttons add mobile-only options such as Telegram, Snapchat, Kik, and Viber. Image Share Buttons let visitors share images with friends and followers.

Button appearance and sharing activity

Paid customization options include colors, gradients, and other visual options for supported tools. The listed controls cover the horizontal share and follow bar, floating share and follow bar, Hello Buddy, the mobile share and follow bar, picture sharing, and reaction buttons.

Copy & Paste Share Tracking is designed to identify sharing that may happen through private channels, including SMS, email, messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and iMessage, and links copied and pasted. It adds information beyond visible social button interactions. Analytics dashboards display site activity. Paid TOOLS accounts have a stated limit of 50,000 visits per month; websites above that level are directed to contact support.

Plan terms and configuration

The listed subscription terms are $9 per month or an annual subscription at $6.90 per month. They specify no contracts and cancellation at any time, with access continuing through the current monthly billing cycle. Subscriptions are nonrefundable, though GetSocial may provide credits at its discretion.

The documented configuration flow for a site with the add-on is:

1. Install and use the GetSocial plugin on the WordPress website.
2. Open the GetSocial account and select an Upgrade Plan option.
3. Choose the TOOLS subscription and provide billing details.
4. Configure the desired sharing, follow, reaction, pop-up, image, mobile, and tracking tools.
5. Review the analytics dashboards and adjust the presentation for the website.
