Should I add social media share buttons to my Shopify store so that people can share with their friends?

People visit your store if they want to buy something, not to share with friends. So, I wouldn't add social media share buttons, unless you're creating super exciting content or unique products that are worth telling my friends about. The goal is to sell, not to redirect your customers back to the social media world where they may forget where they came from.
