How To Add a Threads Icon – New Social Media by Meta (Facebook) To Your Shopify Store
Threads is a new online social media and social networking service owned by Meta (Facebook). If you want to add this Threads icon to your list of social networks on your website so that your customers can connect to your Threads account then this article is for you.
Because this is a new social network, there are no fonts that support it yet, so you have to create your own. You can use an icon image. But it’s not good, so I will use an SVG file.
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Find the theme you want to edit, and then click Actions > Edit code.
- In the Snippets directory, click Add a new snippet.
- Inserting the below code to this file.

- Click Save.
So you have created the Threads icon. Maybe you need to adjust something to make the icon match your existing icons.
You can refer to some attributes as:
- height, width (SVG tag): set size to icon
- fill (PATH tag): set color to icon
Finally, you can insert the icon using {%- render 'icon-threads' -%} or {%- include 'icon-threads' -%}.
That’s it. I hope this article is helpful to you.
