With our OSI software, it is easy to share the affiliate link over social sharing on Twitter through a text tweet with an image & description.


Within our software, we provide the ability for you to have your affiliates share via Twitter. By default, no setup is required for Twitter social sharing all you need to do is change the sharing text and image, and add the meta code to their site. Follow these steps to set up your Twitter Post.
