Why can’t I edit my Linkpop?
Existing users can’t make edits to their Linkpop as of July 7th 2025. This is because it’s shutting down.
Why does Linkpop no longer exist?
The exact reason hasn’t been stated publicly. Shopify has shared that it’s a strategic decision to discontinue their link in bio offering.
Why can’t I download the Linkpop app?
Shopify announced that new and existing users won’t be able to install the Linkpop app from July 7th 2025.
My website is on Shopify, can I still create a Bio Site?
Yes of course, anyone can create a Bio Site. That said, if you’d like to move over to Squarespace, and manage both your e-commerce website and link in bio with the same account, sign up to Squarespace today and get a 14-day free trial.
