Hi
Thank you for the links.
Unfortunatly none of them address, mention or indeed offer ideas around the specific issue…
We understand (suprisingly for a dynamic page) that the product URL stays the same for each variant as you select them (you would assume the suffix may be the variant name) e.g.
product-page/trainers/red_trainers or product-page/trainers/blue_trainers but no 
So, to be clearer, when looking at a variant (1 of maybe 300) we want to be able to share that specific variants details by email. We assume this “button” (the code behind it) may need to create the email and its content based on the specific variant data and images the dynamic page is showing at the time.
We wanted to learn if anyone had done this and could help guide us.
Yes I know, was just quickly pasting up those to see if they helped in anyway.
As for emails, I’m not sure if you can do it yourself through code like an email marketing campaign or social share etc.
I suppose you could try using the Wix Stores collection for Products for example and use that to grab the product’s mainMedia and productPageURL for a variable in a triggered email or something similar.

(Just as long as it does take you to the specific product variant or option and not just the main product page of it as you stated, looking at the collection fields it might do that unfortunately, unless you want to look at incorporating the productOptions too.)
Hopefully somebody can give us an example of it being done or Wix can provide you with a workaround so to speak.
Cheers
What is really WEIRD is that when you are looking at a variant (say red trainers as apposed to white ones in a product called “trainers”) using a colour filter (clicking a red dot) three things are obvious…
-
The dynamic prodcut page fetches the colour variant text and the SKU (which if set can optionally be displayed under the product title)
-
The variant image(s) attached to the colour button are shown (red trainers)
-
IF YOU USE THE SHARE BUTTON (SAY PINTEREST), IT FETCHES THE DEFAULT VARIANT IMAGE (RED TRAINERS) BUT THE TEXT JUST SAYS “TRAINERS” SO IT DOES HALF THE JOB !!!
As you say, hopefully somebody can give us an example of it being done or Wix can provide me with a workaround.
Okay, however that might be because it is still classed as trainers and you are not changing the actual product, however just the option/variant of that product, so technically it doesn’t need to change the actual product name from trainer to red trainer for example.
Also, remember that you can’t use all of them in dynamic page urls anyway, so it is probably easier for Wix to do it like this.
Yes I totally agree that it would be much better for both parties if it did that and showed the full product option name too, however that might be something in the works for later or something that Wix don’t think is necessary for the time being until too many users demand it.
Thanks - I think sharing the actual product you are looking at is pretty important…
Yes you are very correct, however we can’t change what we can do until Wix change it for us. One of the downfalls of using Wix as you don’t have complete and full command over everything you do if you did it yourself through the use of html, css and javascript and could have access to everything like the DOM.
