Here are a few of the best places to share your storefront links:

Scroll down to learn about how you can share your storefront links on each of these platforms!
Instagram is one of the best platforms to drive social traffic to your storefront page. It makes it easy to share your links directly with your followers!
There are two main ways to share your storefront links on Instagram.
Adding Your Link to your Instagram Bio
Adding your link to your Instagram Bio allows you to direct traffic to your link in all of your in-feed and reel posts. When you post a new piece of content featuring a brand, remember to shout out and drive traffic to your 'storefront link in bio' with your exclusive discount!
Tip 1: If adding a direct link to your storefront to your bio, we recommend putting your storefront link through a link-shortening service such as bit.ly before adding it to your Instagram bio. This makes direct links cleaner, and you can even add your own custom branding!
Tip 2: If you would like to have multiple storefront or affiliate links linked to your Instagram bio, we recommend using a link landing page service such as linktr.ee or the milkshake.app. These services allow you to aggregate all of your links into one landing page with a shortened and custom-branded URL!

Adding Your Link to Instagram Story Posts
Whenever you post an Instagram story that features a brand, you can add a link to your storefront by adding a 'Link' sticker in the Story post creator!
Tip: Remember to share different types of links based on the content you are sharing!
We recommend using a 'Featured Collection' link if you are talking about a curated collection of items or a wishlist.
If you are reviewing a specific item, you can use a 'Featured Product' link!
If you are boosting a site-wide sale or mentioning your exclusive discount, you can drive traffic to your general storefront link!
If you have a great post with products tagged in it, share a 'Featured Content' link!

TikTok
TikTok allows you to add a link to your profile once you hit 1,000 TikTok Followers. Once you hit this follower count, you can add your shortened bit.ly storefront link, linktr.ee or milkshake.app link to your bio!
If you have a short bit.ly or linktr.ee link, you can also feature these links in your content as a caption, and direct your followers to type them into the search bar on their search engines.
