You can choose to display social flyins in either the lower left or lower right corner of your visitor’s browser.

Icon Alignment

This option lets you select either ‘Left’ or ‘Centered’. Selecting left will display your button labels and/or share counts to the right of your network icons, creating a more horizontal button shape. Selecting ‘Centered’ will place your button labels and/or share counts below your network icons and center the button content, creating a taller button shape.

Number of Columns

Monarch offers 7 column width options. You can choose to have up to 6 equal width columns, or let your buttons take on an auto-width based on the width of your buttons’ content. No matter your selection, Monarch accommodates for small browser widths and adjusts your column selection for mobile devices.

Intro Animation

Boost the attention grabbing potential of your social flyins with a fun and engaging intro animation! Choose from 10 great load-in animations such as Zoom, Flip, Bounce, and Swing to catch your visitors’ eye.

Trigger After Time Delay

Enabling automatic flyins will trigger sharing flyins on your pages based on a timed delay. This is a great way to presented users that have been browsing your page for a specific amount of time with with a social flyin.

Trigger After Inactivity

This will cause the flyin to appear once the user has been inactive for a certain period of time. If the user has left their computer, or left the tab after reading your post, try reminding them toshare when they get back!

Trigger After Scrolling

This will trigger the flyin after the visitor has scrolled a certain percentage down the page. Depending on the size of your page, and the content within it, you can have the flyin trigger at specific points within the reading. Depending on the situation, having the flying trigger at certain percentages may be much more effective than a timing delay.

Trigger After Commenting

This is a great way to target your most engaged visitors. When this is enabled, your visitor will be greeted with a flying after they have posted a comment on your website.

Trigger After Purchasing

This is another great way to target your most engaged visitors. When this is enabled, your customers will be asked to share your website after they have successfully purchased a product using WooCommerce.

Trigger at Bottom of Post

Just as a reader reaches the end of your page or post content is a perfect time to offer them a way to share your content. Enabling this flyin trigger will auto detect the end of your content and do just that.

Triggers NOTE

No matter how many triggers you have selected above, Monarch will only use whichever trigger occurs first so that your users are not overwhelmed with flyin if you have multiple triggers enabled.

Display Once Per Session

By Default, Monarch will display a flyin on any and every page that has flyins enabled once per page view. Selecting this option will only present a visitor with one flyin per session.

Session Duration

If ‘Display Once Per Session’ is selected, this option will be displayed, allowing you to define the length of time (in days) that a session lasts for. For example, if you input ‘2’ a user will only see a flyin on your site every two days.

Display Share Counts

Displaying share counts is a great way to show off how many times your pages have been shared and even a great way to encourage visitors to spread your content. This number will appear inside each button either to the right or below your network icons based on your ‘Icon Alignment’.

Minimum Count Display

Sometimes it is better to not show counts at all than it is to show that your content hasn’t been shared over a certain threshold. This setting allows you to set the minimum share count that Monarch will display in your flyin’s sharing buttons. This is a great feature for new content that hasn’t had the opportunity to be shared for much time.

Display Total Shares

This share count will add up the shares across all displayed networks and display the total right above your buttons. This is a great way to show the totality of how popular a given page is.

Display Network Names

Check this box to display the network labels in your sharing buttons. These can be customized to whatever you wish. For example, you can choose to replace the Network Name ‘Twitter’ to something like ‘Tweet This’ or ‘Share This’.

Remove Icon Spacing

By default, the flyin icon buttons are spaced out with a small margin. Checking this option lets you remove the spacing between your icons for a whole new set of design possibilities.
