Thanks.

The plugin is here: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1325

Even though it says ZC 1.3.9, it should still work with newer versions. Instructions in the readme of the plugin

Will this work on the latest version of 1.5.5?

Pretty sure it does. Only adds a single extra template file and needs a snippet of code in one other your_template file.

Got your PM but bear in mind that I charge for questions answered via PM, pls post any concerns in the relevant thread(s) for everyone to benefit.

Re: How add "Add This" Sharing Buttons to Product pages.

We had this "Add This..." feature for a while, but got rid of it. Firstly, it makes its calls on an external server - which delays page load and thus incurs Google Penalties for page-speed. (Not good for Google rankings).

Secondly... it was never used by our customers. They come to us to BUY STUFF, not muck about with Social Media.

These "diversions" are actually things that can annoy customers. They want to buy things, to do it quickly, and without stupid distractions that the store owner thinks have some advantageous result.
