Custom URL

Every LinkShop starts out at a default address on your store’s domain. A custom URL lets you replace the default path with something short you can say out loud and put in a bio — for example yourstore.com/bio or yourstore.com/shop.

What It Does

Your LinkShop always lives on your store’s own domain. By default the address is:

https://yourstore.com/a/linkshop

A custom URL adds a shortcut on the same domain. When you set the slug bio, visitors can open yourstore.com/bio and land on your LinkShop. The default address keeps working too, so nothing you have already shared breaks when you add a custom URL.

Because the shortcut lives on your store’s domain, there is nothing to set up outside Shopify: no DNS records, no extra domain, no waiting. If your store uses a custom domain, your LinkShop uses it as well.

Setting a Custom URL

You can set the URL from the dashboard or from Settings.

From the dashboard:

1. Open LinkShop in your Shopify admin
2. In the Your LinkShop URL card, click Edit URL
3. Confirm you want to edit — changing the URL breaks links you have already shared
4. Type the path you want after the slash, for example bio
5. Click Save

From Settings:

1. Go to Settings > Custom URL
2. Enter your path in the URL slug field
3. Click Save

The field shows the full address as you type, so you can see exactly what visitors will use.

Rules for the Slug

• Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only. Spaces become hyphens and other characters are removed.
• At least 2 characters.
• Some paths are reserved by Shopify and can’t be used: checkout, cart, account, login, register, search, collections, products, pages, blogs, admin, orders, gift_cards, password, policies, apps and a.
• A path already used by another redirect in your store can’t be used either. Pick a different one, or remove the existing redirect under Online Store > Navigation > URL redirects in your Shopify admin.

Changing or Removing the URL

Changing the slug moves the shortcut — the old path stops working immediately, so update it anywhere you have shared it. The default /a/linkshop address is never affected.

To remove the custom URL, go to Settings > Custom URL and click Remove custom URL. Your LinkShop goes back to the default address.

Tips

• Keep it short and easy to spell: bio, shop and links all work well when read aloud or typed on a phone.
• Set the URL before you share your LinkShop anywhere. Changing it later means updating every profile where you pasted it.
• Use Copy URL on the dashboard to copy the exact address, then paste it into your Instagram, TikTok or YouTube profile.
