Introduction to LinkSpot
LinkSpot is a Shopify app that turns product images into interactive, shoppable experiences with pins, product sets, annotations, and captions.
Overview
LinkSpot turns product images into interactive sales assets, using shoppable elements for cross-selling and visual overlays to explain product features directly on the image.
Add clickable hotspots, curated product groups, text callouts, and captions to any product gallery image -- all without editing your theme code. LinkSpot works through a theme app embed that integrates seamlessly with your Shopify storefront.
Key Features
Pins
Clickable hotspots placed on product images that link to other products. Choose from 12 styles and display product info on click or hover.
Product Sets
Curated product groups displayed on product images. Three layout options: Button & Popup, Card Carousel, and Links List.
Annotations
Text overlays on product images to highlight features, materials, or details with customizable transitions and color schemes.
Captions
Caption overlays on product images with configurable size and corner positioning.
Quick Start
Get up and running in minutes with these steps.
Install LinkSpot
Install LinkSpot from the Shopify App Store. Approve the required permissions when prompted.
Enable the App Embed Block
Open your theme editor and enable the LinkSpot app embed block, then save. This allows LinkSpot to load on your storefront.
Run Compatibility Test
From the LinkSpot dashboard, run the compatibility test to verify your theme works with LinkSpot. The test detects your product image gallery automatically.
Create Your First Element
Create a Pin, Product Set, Annotation, or Caption and preview it on your storefront.
Use Cases
Use Product Sets to show complementary products directly on product images. Display outfit components, accessories, or related items customers can add to cart without leaving the page.
Place Pins on product images to link to other products in the photo. Ideal for lifestyle shots, room scenes, or group photos where multiple products are visible.
Add Annotations and Captions to highlight materials, dimensions, unique features, or care instructions directly on the product image.
