Introduction.
If you’ve got digital products to sell—like eBooks, templates, courses, presets, guides, or music—Linktree can help you do it quickly and without needing a full website.
It’s not just a link-in-bio tool anymore. It now lets you accept payments, deliver digital downloads, and even grow your email list—all in one place.
I’ve used Linktree for years, and I’ve watched it go from a basic link collector to a full-blown storefront for creators.
So if you’re trying to sell your digital products directly from Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere else online, this is worth looking into.
Let me walk you through exactly how it works and how to make the most of it.
What Is Linktree?
Linktree is a free tool that gives you one simple link to put in your bio. When someone clicks on it, they see a page with multiple links or buttons you’ve added—like your website, social profiles, or specific offers.
But now, Linktree has stepped up. You can now:
Sell digital products directly
Collect payments with Stripe or PayPal
Deliver the product automatically after purchase
Grow your email list
Embed YouTube videos, Spotify, Calendly, and more
So, instead of asking people to DM you to buy your product or sending them to a clunky Google Drive folder, you can give them a clean, fast, and simple buying experience.
Why Use Linktree To Sell Digital Products?
Let’s be honest—most creators don’t want to mess with website hosting, tech headaches, or expensive tools just to sell a $10 ebook or a $25 Canva template. Linktree gives you everything you need in one link.
Here’s why it works:
Fast setup: You can start selling within minutes. No coding, no plugins.
Mobile-friendly: Looks great on phones, which is where most of your audience probably is.
Built-in payment system: Accept payments securely through PayPal or Stripe.
Instant file delivery: Upload your file once. After payment, your buyer gets access automatically.
Analytics: See which links are getting clicks and where your traffic is coming from.
It’s perfect for:
Creators on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter/X
Coaches or consultants selling worksheets
Musicians selling beats or music
Writers selling PDFs, guides, or zines
Designers selling Notion templates, fonts, or digital art
Anyone who wants a simple store without the headache
How do I Sell Digital Products On Linktree?
Step 1: Sign up (or log in)
Go to Linktree and create a free account. If you already have one, just log in.
Pro Tip: Selling digital products is only available on paid plans, which start around $5/month. It’s worth it if you’re serious about selling.
Step 2: Set up your payment provider
You’ll need to connect either Stripe or PayPal to accept payments.
Click on Settings
Go to Commerce
Choose Stripe or PayPal, then connect your account
Step 3: Add your digital product
Here’s where the magic happens.
Click “Add link”
Choose “Sell digital product”
Add a title (example: “Canva Instagram Template Pack”)
Set a price (e.g., $9.99)
Upload the file (PDF, ZIP, MP3, etc.)
Write a short description so people know what they’re buying
Optional: Add a cover image
That’s it. Your link is live and ready to take payments.
Step 4: Customize your Linktree page
Make your page look good:
Add your profile picture
Choose a theme that fits your brand
Rearrange your product links and any other links you want people to see
Step 5: Share your Linktree link
Now copy your unique Linktree URL and paste it wherever your audience hangs out:
Instagram bio
TikTok profile
YouTube video descriptions
Twitter/X
Email signatures
WhatsApp groups
You can also turn your Linktree into a mini website for your brand if you don’t already have one.
Real Talk: How Much Can You Make?
There’s no limit. Some creators are making $500/month selling Canva templates. Others are pulling in $2,000+ per month from digital guides, planners, or courses. Your earnings depend on:
How useful your product is
How well you promote it
How often you talk about it
How easy you make it for people to buy
If you’ve already built an audience, even a small one, you’re sitting on gold.
Tips To Sell More On Linktree
Here’s what I’ve learned from experience:
Use a strong product title
Make it clear and benefit-driven. Example: 30-Day Instagram Caption Templates for Coaches
Write a short, clear description
Tell people exactly what they’re getting and why it helps them.
Add visuals
A clean image or cover boosts trust and makes your product stand out.
Promote regularly
Don’t just add the link and forget it. Talk about your product in posts, Stories, captions, etc.
Bundle products
Offer a 3-in-1 bundle to raise your average order value.
Collect emails
Add an email signup link to your Linktree to grow your list as you sell.
FAQs
Do I need a website to sell on Linktree?
Nope. That’s the beauty of it. Linktree works as your mini-store, especially for digital products.
Can I sell more than one product?
Yes. You can add multiple product links—each with its own price and file.
What types of files can I upload?
PDF, PNG, JPG, ZIP, MP3, MP4, and more. As long as it’s digital and under 10GB, you’re good.
Do I need a business license?
That depends on your country and how much you’re earning. Many people start as hobby sellers, but once you’re earning consistently, it’s a good idea to check your local tax laws.
Does Linktree take a cut?
Linktree doesn’t take a commission, but Stripe or PayPal will charge their standard transaction fees (usually around 2.9% + $0.30 per sale).
