How to Put Affiliate Links in Your TikTok Bio

To put affiliate links in your TikTok bio, you need at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account. Then go to Profile, tap Edit profile, tap Add next to Links and paste your URL. Since you get one main link, point it to a page that holds all your affiliate products instead of a single item.

Who can add a link to their TikTok bio?

TikTok's help page on adding a website link to your profile sets the rule. You need at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account. TikTok also notes the feature isn't available in every market.

If you're under the threshold, don't stall. Post consistently, build a product page anyway and send people there from platforms where you already have a link, like affiliate links on Instagram. When you qualify, the page is ready.

How do you add the link step by step?

These steps follow TikTok's own instructions. The menu can shift between app versions, but the path has been stable.

Step 1: Open your profile

In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Tap Edit profile

You'll see your name, username, bio and, if you're eligible, a Links row.

Step 3: Add the link

Next to Links, tap Add, then paste your website URL when prompted. Use the full address, including https.

Step 4: Check it from a visitor's view

Open your profile from a second account or ask a friend to tap it. When someone taps a profile link, TikTok opens it in its in-app browser. Make sure the page loads fast there and the buttons work.

One detail matters for affiliates. TikTok says it limits how people browse external link chains inside the in-app browser. Visitors may get a prompt to open the page in their phone's browser instead. TikTok recommends direct links so people reach the intended site in a few steps. A bio link that bounces through several redirects before the store is the kind of chain that adds friction.

What should your TikTok bio link point to?

With one main link, you have two options. You can link a single product, or you can link a page with everything you recommend.

A single product link works for a short campaign. The problem shows up the day you post a different product. Someone watches today's video, taps your bio and lands on last week's item. They leave.

A page with all your products solves that. The usual choice is a link-in-bio page or an affiliate storefront, where products appear as cards grouped into categories. Your video says "it's in the Kitchen section", and the visitor finds it in two taps.

Zelect works this way. You paste a product link from Amazon, Shopee or another store. Zelect reads the page metadata and builds the product card, and each category gets its own URL. You keep 100% of the affiliate commission because Zelect has no checkout and takes no cut. Check the current plans if you need more than the free 25 products.

How do you get people from the video to the bio link?

The bio link only works if people know why to tap it. On TikTok, the next video is one swipe away, so the instruction has to be in the video.

Some habits that help:

• Say the product name and the section out loud: "The lamp is in Desk Setup, link in my bio."
• Put the same words on screen for viewers watching without sound.
• Use the same category names in the video and on your page.
• Pin a comment with the product name so people can search for it on your page.

Matching names matters more than it sounds. If you call it "desk setup" in the video and the page says "Electronics", the visitor has to guess. These tips on organizing affiliate products help you name categories the way your audience searches.

For a weekly rhythm, plan which products get a video and which category gets featured. A simple content calendar for affiliate finds keeps the bio page and the videos in sync.

How do you disclose affiliate links on TikTok?

TikTok treats affiliate promotion as branded content. Its Branded Content Policy covers products where you earn a commission on sales, for instance via an affiliate link or promo code. For that content, you must turn on the commercial content disclosure toggle.

The toggle is in the post screen under the content disclosure settings. TikTok's creator help page on the disclosure setting says labeling a post as a paid partnership doesn't affect how TikTok recommends it.

The FTC asks for more than a label. Its Disclosures 101 guide says the disclosure should be in the video itself, and that viewers are more likely to notice it when it's both spoken and shown on screen. It also warns that a disclosure only on your profile page is likely to be missed.

In practice: turn on the toggle, say "I earn a commission from links in my bio" in the video and add it as on-screen text.

Which mistakes cost you clicks from TikTok?

Most bio-link problems on TikTok come from the page the link opens.

• A slow page. Visitors open your page on a phone, inside TikTok. Heavy pages lose people before they load.
• A long list with no structure. Dozens of buttons with no categories is a scroll test. Group products and put the newest ones first.
• No click data. If you don't know which products get tapped, you'll keep pushing the wrong ones. Here's how to track affiliate link clicks without guessing.
• Old products left up. Remove items that are out of stock or no longer match what you post.

Seasonal pushes work well on TikTok because you can point a burst of videos to one collection. If that's your plan, see how to make a gift guide that fits a single bio link. And for the bigger picture of turning those taps into income, read our guide on making money with affiliate links.

Next step: open TikTok, go to Edit profile and check if the Links row is there. If it is, link a page you can update without touching the bio again. If it isn't, build that page now so it's ready when you qualify. For more on the handoff from video to page, read how to get more bio link clicks.
