About Linktree Shops

Linktree Shops is Linktree's social commerce program. It lets you earn commissions on millions of products from brands like Target, Sephora, and Revolve, right from your Linktree. Products you add appear in your Shop tab, so your audience can browse your favorites in one place.

US-only feature

Linktree Shops is available to Linkers in the United States, and other eligibility criteria may apply. Check who can earn with Linktree.


How commissions work

  • All Linkers get the same rates, whatever their follower count.
  • We negotiate commission rates with each brand, but the retailer sets the final rate. Rates can change, and products in Explore always show the current rate.
  • Some products earn different rates, and some aren't commissionable.
  • Promotions can affect your earnings, because some brands cap commission on products that are on sale.
  • You earn commission on every eligible product in your visitor's cart, not only the product they selected.
  • We add new brands regularly, so check Explore for the latest.

Get paid

  • Your commissions go into Earnings. Once you've set up Earnings and connected Stripe, you can get paid when you have at least $10 in available funds.
  • We usually pay out available funds monthly, in the last week of the month. Earnings shows the estimated date. Funds reach your Stripe account the next business day, and your bank within five business days, depending on your bank.
  • Funds unlock after the retailer's window for cancellations and returns closes. Each retailer sets its own window, so it can take 60 days or longer.
  • Linktree doesn't charge exchange or bank fees on your earnings, but third-party payment processor fees may apply.

For setup steps, see Linktree Shops: How to get paid. Payment terms are in our Terms and Conditions.


Manage products and collections

  • Edit a product: Select the product, then select the pen icon to update its image, title, and price.
  • Hide a product or collection: Turn off the toggle () next to it.
  • Add products to a collection: Select the collection, select Add, choose the products, then select Done.
  • Collection size: Add up to 30 products to each collection. You can add as many collections as you like.
  • Recommended products: Products in Explore that we think you'll like, based on what you've already added to your Shop.

Collections are optional, but they help your audience find what they're looking for. For steps, see How to set up your Shop tab.

Note

Deleting a collection also deletes its products. Add them to another collection or to your Shop first if you want to keep them.


Make your posts shoppable

Posts make your Instagram and TikTok content shoppable. Choose the content you want to feature, then add the products in it. A post can include several products and pieces of content from different platforms.

To create one, select + Add, then Post, and follow the steps.


Share your Shop

  • Show your Shop first: Turn on Set Shop as main tab in your Shop settings.
  • Link straight to your Shop: Add /shop to the end of your Linktree URL.
  • Link to a collection or post: Select the share icon () at the top of it to create a short link.
  • Link to a product: Swipe left on the product and tap the share icon.
  • Preview your Shop on your Links tab: Select the settings icon in the top-right corner of your Shop and turn on Display Shop.

Note

Instagram auto-reply works with links, not Shop products.


Frequently asked questions

How long does the affiliate cookie last after someone selects my link?

Each retailer sets its own cookie window, usually 7 to 30 days. Most of our brand partners use around 14 days. If a visitor selects your link and buys within that window, you still earn the commission.

Will I earn commission if someone buys in the brand's app?

Yes, for supported retailers like Amazon. Linktree opens the brand's app directly instead of the mobile browser, so affiliate tracking carries through and you still earn the commission.

Why didn't I receive a payment?

Check these common reasons:

  • Your account is less than 40 days old. Affiliate networks take time to move sales from pending to closed commissions.
  • You haven't earned at least $10 yet. Your earnings roll over to the next month until you reach $10.
  • Your Stripe account isn't fully set up. See Linktree Shops: How to get paid.
