How to add a Shopee link to your Instagram profile

First, let's talk about what Shopee link you should add to your Instagram bio. You have more sales when the link allows each of your followers to buy the product they want. The thing is that they need different products. Some want to buy what you advertised in the last post. Others want to buy an item from an old collection. That's why you should include all these links in your bio.

A link in bio page is what allows you to add all your Shopee links to your Instagram bio at once. This is a page where you can place as many Shopee links as you want, as well as photos, descriptions, etc. So, the link to this page is the link that you should add to your bio.

When you have a link like this in your Instagram bio, each of your followers can tap it and find the Shopee link to the product they want:
