Shareable Link To A Customized Framed Print?

I can already share a link to Facebook with a standard frame. But is there a way to get a shareable link to a CUSTOMIZED framed picture? If so, how would I do it?
When I customize the frame and click the share button, it still displays the standard frame an Facebook. I would find it way more helpful if I, as the artist, create the finished end product and present it to potential buyers. If they click this shareable link, they would see my suggested frame, mat and the size I think my picture will look best at. This way, potential buyers would not need to go through the process of virtual sizing, framing and matting.
I hope I made myself clear enough?

Thanks for reading.
Hagen

As far as I am aware, that is not possible, the link will always go to the FAA standard frame option. I guess you could always do a frame and mat option to your preference, save as a jpg file and upload that manually to your social media post, but indicate buyers would need to configure themselves at the point of purchase.

Personally, if I was a buyer, I would want to frame and mat to my preferences, to ensure colour and style fitted in with the decor where the print would be located.

I've tried that before and it still shows the default black frame white mat.

I just tried it with a canvas print posted to Pinterest, where previously, not only would it disregard my print size selection and instead would show the default size canvas print, but also, if I used the Pin button on the product page, the resulting pin would link to FAA, not my personal site. Using Abbie’s method, the pin I created shows the correct print size and links to my personal site, yay!

You are right, Jessica. I just tried it. Although, if I post the link on my Facebook Page, then when a person clicks on the link, it will take them to the framed print I chose (like what Abbie shared with us). Which is what I just now did. Otherwise I generally just save that image of the framed print of my choice, and post that. Then include the link that I sent to favorites. Of course I could be doing something wrong.

My HUGE problem is - I like to show my images rather large - if not the largest size. Then - you cannot get mats cut to that size. I suppose one should not show an image that cannot be made. Oh well.

I tried it with Facebook and had the same result… shows the default size canvas print in the post, but links to the correct size.

 

Facebook doesn't like it. But you can start with Abbie's instructions and save the manually configured image/frame/size/etc. to your favorites. Then manually download that pre-configured image and go to FB and create a "Photo Carousel" which will allows you to upload and link that image back to your pre-configured image/frame page (from your faa favorites) or link to anywhere else you like. You can then add multiple different images and links as well. Note, you can also set up your image in your faa's "room" layout page and upload that image and link it back to your pre-configured image/frame page too.
