Users are able to interact with website content through different platforms when social media integration is implemented on websites. There are some stages that need to be followed in implementing social media integration on a site; identifying the platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest for example. Creating developer accounts in these platforms gives APIs and access tokens required while obtaining API keys together with access tokens by following through developer documentation allows one to interact with social media platform APIs. One can choose among integration options such as sharing buttons, social login, embedding social media feeds or displaying share counters. Sharing buttons can be added via social media APIs so that users can share web contents on their profiles. Social login integration utilizes social media accounts hence simplifying user registration and login processes. Displaying recent posts or images from the website itself onto different social medias and showing share counters which track content reach are other alternatives for doing so too.
