How to Set Up a Mini Shop in Your Bio Link: Step-by-Step

Your followers are scrolling through your Instagram or TikTok, spot a product they want to buy, and click your bio link. Within two clicks they've checked out — without leaving your social media platform for a complex online store. That's the power of a Mini Shop on your link-in-bio page.

What is a Mini Shop?

A Mini Shop is a streamlined online store integrated directly into your link-in-bio page. Unlike a full e-commerce website, a Mini Shop offers a simplified purchasing process. Learn more about link-in-bio

Why a Mini Shop in your bio link?

Fewer steps = more sales

Every extra click costs you customers. A Mini Shop reduces the process to just two steps: choose a product and check out.

No technical knowledge required

No hosting, plugins, or theme customisation needed.

European payment methods

iDEAL, Wero and Bancontact (learn more) — payment methods that customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and across Europe actually use.

Combined with your other links

The Mini Shop lives on the same page as all your other links.
