Uploading favicon via logo
If you upload a logo for your Netcash Shop Instant site, it’s automatically used as a favicon.
You can hide the logo if you want to and the favicon will still remain. First, here is how to upload a logo:
- From your Netcash Shop admin, go to Website.
- Click Edit:

- Go to Headline & Cover → Store logo → click Upload logo:

- Upload a photo from your computer that you want to use for the favicon.
- Save the changes.
If you want to use the favicon and hide the logo, you can do it with a CSS code:
- From your Netcash Shop admin, go to Design.
- Click Edit Theme if you have an active custom CSS theme or scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Create Theme → Add new CSS Theme.
- Paste the following code to your CSS Theme:
div.cover__logo { display: none;}
- Save the changes.
Refresh the storefront page to see the changes.
If you do not have a store logo, but you want to have a favicon, you can find or create an image for the favicon, upload it to an image hosting and then add it to the <head→ section of the store.
You can create a favicon from scratch or using another image using favicon online generators like this: https://favicon.io/
To upload a favicon for the store using meta tags:
- Upload your favicon to an image hosting, e.g. to https://imgbb.com/
- Get a direct link to the image, i.e. so that when you click on the link, the image opens:
- If you use https://imgbb.com/ service, after the image upload, click on the image.
- On the opened tab, click on the image with the right mouse button → Copy image URL.
- From your Netcash Shop admin, go to Website.
- Scroll down to the “SEO settings” section and click Add Code under Header meta tags and site verification.
- In the appeared field, enter this code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="Direct_image_link">
And replace Direct_image_link with the actual link to your favicon that you copied on the image hosting:

- Save the changes.
Refresh the storefront page to see the added favicon.
