Bio link
Your finds as a shop
Make the page a Shop page and every product you add becomes the page, like a storefront: newest first, sorted into your categories, each with a page of its own. Your posts are one tab over.

| On the page | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Latest | What you added most recently, first. Where somebody who follows you looks for the new thing |
| Most clicked | Ordered by real taps to buy over the last 90 days. The order shows, never the numbers |
| Posts | Your posts, exactly as a Posts page draws them, for anybody who remembers the picture and not the product |
| Search | The magnifier. Finds a product by its name, brand, shop or category |
| Category chips | All first, then your categories with how many products each holds. Shown once you use two or more |
| A product card | Brand • category, the name, the price (a sale price with the old one struck through), and In 3 posts when it is in your posts |
A product's own page
Tapping a product opens its own page at your address plus /product/…. The picture is big, then the brand, the name and the price, one button to buy it (Shop at Lululemon · $118), your own words under Why I picked it, the posts it is Seen in, and More from you. Shared on its own, the link unfurls as the product: its picture, its name and its price.

Every tap is counted, and your links are untouched
A tap to buy from anywhere (a post's sheet, a card in the shop, a product's own page) goes through BioLink once, is counted against that product with where it happened, and then opens your link exactly as you pasted it. An LTK, ShopMy or Amazon link keeps its tag and pays out through that network. Insights → Products shows each product's clicks, split by where they came from, and how often its page was opened. These are clicks, not payouts: payouts are in that network's own dashboard.
| Good to know | |
|---|---|
| No products yet | The page shows your posts until the first product is added |
| A search with no match | Says so, with Clear search. A category with nothing matching says that too, with a way to see every match |
| Pictures | On a white well with the whole product showing, in light and dark themes alike |
| Price | Free, on every plan |
