Social sharing image

Would be beneficial to set a og:image so sharing platforms like Facebook and Twitter can use to show what a store is about. So it doesn't look like the attached.

This is a big change! Deserves more press. Just added new images to several of our stores.

We use the Store Logo for social media sharing. In the case of the url referenced in the attached Store, the logo is not matching Facebook's minimum dimensions of 200 x 200 px

Ty Hadley: the request was that a feature be added so that a store admin can specify an alternate image to be used as the sharing image so it doesn't have to a be the 200x200 logo. Per Facebook's standards: "Use images that are at least 1200 x 630 pixels for the best display on high resolution devices. If your image is smaller than 600 x 315 px, it will still display in the link page post, but the size will be much smaller." If the goal is to get people to our stores, the sharing image to get them there should be more engaging than a 200x200 logo that I would imagine 80%+ of InkSoft users aren't cropping properly anyhow

Kevin Watson: Thank you for clarifying! I understand much better now. I want to elaborate too that I was just referencing the minimum size I saw required when I researched this functionality with Facebook. We only require a 100px height, but the higher the resolution, the better as far as we're concerned. Now that we have a better idea of what you're looking for, we'll open this back up :)
