What Is a Link-in-Bio Page and Why Do You Need It?
Most social media platforms allow you to add one website link to your bio section. This link can be used to direct users to your website, YouTube channel, or shop page.

Sell on Social Media with Ease
Instagram Shopping, TikTok Shop, and Facebook Shop are perfect for converting social media followers into shoppers, as these tools allow users to buy products without leaving their favorite social media apps. Unfortunately, not all brands can benefit from that, as these tools are not available in all countries.
With Linkup, you can still make sales on social media, no matter where you are in the world — just add your Linkup link to your bio.
Even if tools like Instagram Shopping are available in your country, getting your Shop approved might take some time. Also, some types of products are not allowed for sale via Meta Shops or TikTok Shop (for example, you can’t sell digital products on Facebook.)
