Link

The link component makes text interactive, allowing users to navigate to other pages or perform specific actions. Use link for navigation, external references, or triggering actions while maintaining standard link semantics and accessibility.

Links support standard URLs, custom protocols, navigation within Shopify admin pages, and can open in new windows for external destinations. For prominent actions or form submissions, use button instead.

Preview

  • Use links primarily for navigation and use buttons primarily for actions.

  • The HTML that renders for the s-button and s-link components includes style and accessibility information. Use these components intentionally and consistently to provide a more inclusive experience for assistive technology users and a more cohesive visual experience for sighted users.
