Business owners know that their brand doesn’t live on a single URL anymore. Between yoursocial channels, apps, marketplaces, and content—not to mention your online shop—your brand works best when it lives and thrives on multiple platforms.
That’s why link in bio tools have exploded in popularity, especially for businesses and creators. These tools, such as Shopify’sLinkpop, Linktree, or Lnk.Bio, let you curate a list of links on acustom landing pagewith a simplified URL.
They’re called “link in bio” because that’s the phrase people often post in social media captions. Because you can’t put a link in anInstagramor TikTok caption, you instead direct people to click the link in the bio on your profile page. Traditionally, that just might be a link to a single store or YouTube page, but link in bio tools allow you to do so much more with that one, valuable link.
A link in bio tool worth using
Shopify’s Linkpop offers big advantages over other services, combining the usual link organization capabilities with ecommerce features. This is important because having an online audience or business means you’ve built an ecosystem. It’s not rare for a creator to simultaneously be running a Facebook page, an Instagram profile, aTikTokprofile, and perhaps even a YouTube page or Twitch stream. Maybe you also have content on a blog, a newsletter, or a landing page you’ve worked really hard on.
With Shopify’s Linkpop, you can take the guesswork out of deciding what link to highlight on various bios on your online profiles. Linkpop is that one place where your audience and customers can find you, every place you are. It’s also a way to highlight products and categories on your Shopify site so customers find exactly what they’re looking for.
Whether you’re looking to elevate yoursocial media presenceor convert your followers into customers, Linkpop is the perfect link in bio tool that could double as a sales channel. We know this because customers are more than twice as likely to buy from a shoppable link on Linkpop compared to other link in bio tools.

Linkpop is the winning option for those looking to turn audiences into customers and there are so many reasons creators, brands, and influencers love it.

How to make your link in bio with Linkpop in 5 steps
To get started, go toLinkpop.comand sign in with a Shopify identity. If you don’t already have one, you can create it for free. If you already have a Shopify store, simply use your login email and your Linkpop can be connected with your product catalog in one click.
Once you’re in, you can get to the fun part.
Step 1: Set up your profile
In the Profile tab, you can customize the look of your Linkpop page.
Here, you can change the font, background color, and font color to match your existing branding.
Next, you’ll be able to claim the URL for your Linkpop, which will be linkpop.com/yourname. Once you’ve chosen the name, it can’t be changed, so choose something simple like your store name, or your name if you’re a creator.
哟u’ll also set a profile picture, which could be your logo, and the page’s title. Next, you’ll fill in a bio. For consistency, you can use the same bio you use on a social media site, such as Instagram.
All your changes will show in a mobile-sized preview on the same page. Remember to hit “Publish” to save your progress.
Step 2: Add your social channels
In the Social media tab, you can link to your various social media channels.
When you populate these fields, each site’s icon will appear on your Linkpop with a link to that page. There’s also an option to link to a Shopify store from one of these icons.
Take a look at howPaper Cloth Plusset up its icons, with links to its shop, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter profiles.
If you want to draw attention to a particular social media profile, you can link to it again in the Links tab. We recommend including the social media app’s icon again to make it clear where that link will go.
哟u can also use the Links tab to build a link to a particular social media post, such as a popular TikTok or YouTube video, to highlight it.
Step 3: Add your store link
Although there’s an icon for your shop link, it’s a good idea to add it in the links section as well.
In the Links tab, you can create a button link to any URL or to any product in your shop. You should start with a link to your shop’s homepage, but you can also get more creative than that by adding links to things such as:
- Individual product categories
- Sale pages
- Seasonal items
- New releases
Jack & Bo, for example, included links to its Play collection, as well as new arrivals.
哟u can judge what to include based on what your top selling categories are, or look at your shop’s metrics to see which categories are visited the most.
Step 4: Add product links
With an integrated Shopify store, you can add buttons for individual products that you sell.
It’s not a good idea to include everything, but you could choose to highlight:
- 哟ur top seller
- A product you’ve recently posted on social media
- A new product
Sugardoh, for example, has its core product—classic sugaring paste—front and center so it’s one of the first things a customer sees when they open the brand’s Linkpop.
Again, with Shop Pay, customers can select a product and check out in only a few clicks.
Step 5: Get creative
Links to your social media, store, and products are all items you should definitely include, but you can think outside the box, too.
Consider adding links to:
- Customer reviews
- Press coverage
- Blog posts
- 哟ur newsletter sign-up page
- 哟ur retail locations
- 哟ur business’ story or founder’s bio
- 哟ur contact information
- Marketplaces you sell on
For inspiration, take a look at the Linkpop forPink House, which goes beyond the basics and gives customers a fuller picture of what the brand is all about.
Make those links pop
Let’s review by taking a look at one last example. This is the Linkpop forStation, a brand that makes cold brew and cold brew concentrate.
With Station’s link in bio profile, a potential customer can easily find (and in one place!) links for:
- Station’s social media profiles
- Top-selling products
- Station’s subscription service
- Where to buy at retail stores
- Information for new customers
Plus, it tells us that its link in bio built with Linkpop is having a positive impact on sales.
“Linkpop has become a must-have in all our bios for social—the added option to have product pictures has helped drive sales,” Station told us.
Using a link in bio tool puts your most important information in one place, and it can change as your business changes. You can reshuffle your links at any time or add new ones according to what’s selling, what’s trending, and what you want customers to see right now. By monitoring your analytics, you can strategically optimize as you go.
哟u’ve put time into growing your business across the web, and with a link in bio tool you can bring it all home.
