In the main “ECARD SETTINGS” area you will find the section “Settings Social Media Links (OpenGraph)”.
Open the accordion to edit the link settings.
After activation, 3 fields are available to you, which decide how the eCard you want to share will be displayed.With their editing you determine the title (max. 55 characters), the description and the displayed image of the generated link.
After editing the link settings, save your eCard.
