Getting Started
How quickly can I get up and running?
Two minutes. Seriously. Create your account, connect your social accounts, and we’ll automatically retrieve your last 90 posts and affiliate links. And done!
What kind of Instagram account do I need?
Do I need a Business TikTok account?
No, you do not need a Business TikTok account to use GoToLinks.
Do I need to add my links manually?
For Instagram, we automatically pull the last link from your post caption – all part of the magic of GoToLinks. For TikTok, you will have the option to manually add those links so it’s super quick and easy! Post once, link once, done.
What happens to my existing links when I switch?
We’ll automatically import posts from the last 90 days so that you won’t lose any momentum. Plus, you can manually add any older posts you want to keep featuring.
What if I need help while setting up?
Can I start with one social media profile and add the other one later?
Absolutely! Start with either Instagram or TikTok and add the other one at any time.
Where should I include my GoToLinks link in bio URL? Do I need to include it on Amazon?
Yes! Add your GoToLinks URL to your link in bio for your shoppers to easily access, and in your Amazon Associates Central for your Amazon Storefront. Amazon audits Creators profiles to ensure you are listing all URLs of where shoppers can find your links, so be sure to include your GoToLink link there as well as any other places you include your affiliate Amazon storefront links. If you need instructions on how to add the URL to your Amazon account, visit here.

Which social platforms work with GoToLinks?

What's the difference between the Starter and Pro plans?
The Starter Plan gives you our hosted link in bio solution for up to 35 posts a month. The Pro Plan gives you the hosted link in bio for UNLIMITED posts per month!
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?
Absolutely! You can switch plans anytime to match your business needs. Whether you’re scaling up or simplifying, we’ve got you covered. Any cancellations and changes will go into effect at the next billing period. But, if you are upgrading to Strategic Plus to get unlimited posts, you’ll get that functionality right away!
Can I pin multiple posts?
Yes! Pin up to 9 posts to maximize exposure for your best-performing content.
How does my post AND link automatically get added to my GoToLinks?
The affiliate link URL must be included in your caption, correctly, when you posted it to Instagram. It can’t be edited quickly after, it needs to be included at time of posting. Then, GoToLinks will automatically pull the post AND the link, and make it visible for shoppers. This functionality is not yet available for TikTok due to TikTok restrictions. We are the only link in bio solution that offers this to save YOU time.
Why doesn’t the auto-syncing of the post AND link work on TikTok?
It works on Instagram, but not on TikTok. We do not auto-sync your links from TikTok in order to keep your account safe. Unfortunately activity like this may flag your account, and GoToLinks is always looking out for the Creator first and foremost.
Why is my TikTok showing blank on my GoToLinks public view?
We do not auto-sync your links from TikTok in order to keep your account safe. Unfortunately activity like this may flag your account, and GoToLinks is always looking out for the Creator first and foremost. If you log into your GoToLinks admin dashboard, you will see your TikTok posts all there after connecting your account. We do not automatically show your photos until a link is added, so you don’t miss out on sales. To make a post visible and add a link: 1) click into a post, 2) add a link, 3) click to make it VISIBLE, 4) save and close. Then that post will be made visible on your public view.
What if I don’t have a link in my caption?
No problem—you can manually add a link to your post and mark the post as visible in your GoToLinks admin dashboard.
What is the red icon over my posts, in my GoToLinks admin dashboard?
The red icon means there isn’t a link connected to your post and therefore your post isn’t visible to your shoppers on your GoToLinks. You can manually add a link to your post and mark the post as visible in your GoToLinks admin dashboard.
Can I use any link from the buttons or my posts on my GoToLinks ?
Yes, on your GoToLinks page that your shoppers will see, you can include links to anywhere in the buttons and posts. Plus, you can link multiple links in each post.
Safety & Security
Is GoToLinks Meta-compliant?
Absolutely. We’re fully compliant with Meta’s policies, so you can scale safely without worrying about restrictions.
What happens to my data?
Your data stays yours. We don’t sell your data ever.
Do I have to give GoToLinks my Instagram or TikTok password?
No. Your passwords are between you and your social media platforms, and we won’t ever see them. When you set up your GoToLinks account, you will be prompted to log into the social media platform of your choice and authenticate directly with them.
