How can I display social follower count with custom code or CSS on Impact theme?

Topic summary

Goal: Show social follower counts as small badge dots on social icons in the Impact theme, styled like the cart icon’s number.

What’s proposed:

  • Edit theme code (header.liquid) to add follower count elements alongside the social icons and enable a cart-style badge.
  • Alternatively, modify the social section/widget to include an option (a configurable field) where the store owner can input/update follower numbers, which the theme would render as badges.

Context:

  • The OP shared screenshots illustrating the desired design and asked for custom code/CSS to replicate it in Impact.
  • Responders indicated this requires theme customization rather than CSS alone, specifically in header.liquid or the social section component.

Current status:

  • The OP confirmed interest and asked for implementation steps.
  • No specific code, step-by-step instructions, or finalized solution has been posted yet.

Notes:

  • Images are central to understanding the desired badge style.
  • Thread remains open; next action needed is detailed guidance or code snippets for the header/social section edits and the input option setup.

Hi @iamcristianjr18

This can be done by editing the existing social section widget where we will create a option where you will able to update the number.

Let me know if interested…
