If you ever used Linkpop, or other "link in bio" tools you need to read this, we will break down why popular tools like Linktree, Beacons.ai, and Stan Store still fall short for Shopify brands, and why a new approach called Shop the Feed is becoming the most profitable way to convert social audiences in 2026.
Why Linkpop Disappeared and What It Means for Shopify Stores
Linkpop launched with a strong promise. A shoppable link in bio built for ecommerce.
It pulled products from your Shopify catalog, offered mobile first layouts, and gave creators a quick way to sell directly from social.
But Shopify eventually made a strategic move. Linkpop was not built for where ecommerce was heading. Static link lists could not keep up with how people actually shop.
Today’s buyer discovers products inside a flow of content:
Instagram Reels
TikTok videos
Stories
Creator posts
UGC
And they expect to buy in that same flow, instantly, with almost no friction.
Linkpop could not evolve fast enough, so Shopify sunset it and left brands searching for what should come next.
Are Linktree, Beacons, and Stan Store Good Linkpop Replacements for Shopify
Short answer: not really.
These tools are excellent for creators who need a place to organize links, sell a PDF, collect emails, or book calls.
But Shopify ecommerce is different.
Linktree, Beacons, and Stan Store were not built around:
Real time Shopify product syncing
Variant selection
Mobile first checkout
Conversion safe shopping experiences
Product level analytics
Attribution for social traffic
They do what they were designed to do: hold links.
But link pages rarely sell products. Especially when your shopper is coming from Instagram or TikTok with seconds of attention and real buying intent.
This is the root of the problem. Brands lose a huge amount of revenue in the post click moment.
And this is exactly why a new pattern is taking over for Shopify brands.

The Rise of Shop the Feed. The Link in Bio Replacement Built for Commerce
Instead of sending customers to a page full of buttons, leading Shopify brands are adopting a new model: a shoppable version of their social feed, embedded inside their own website.
Here is what Shop the Feed looks like:
Your Instagram feed becomes shoppable.
Your TikTok content becomes product showcases.
Every post opens a mini store with the exact featured products.
Checkout happens instantly through Shopify.
No lists. No hunting. No dead ends.
Shop the Feed is content driven commerce that matches how people already shop.
It is the evolution of link in bio from organize your links to sell directly from your content.
Why Shop the Feed Outperforms Traditional Link in Bio Tools
1. A direct path from inspiration to checkout
A customer sees your Reel, taps your link, and lands on the exact product they expect to see. Their intent stays intact. Your conversion rate rises.
2. Your content becomes your storefront
Each post becomes a natural product entry point. This mirrors TikTok Shop and Instagram Shopping, but on your terms with your branding and your data.
3. Clear analytics that link content to revenue
Instead of vague click counts, you see:
Which post drove the sale
Which creator performed best
Which product was purchased
Where drop off happened
And actual conversion rate & revenue per post!
This level of visibility is not possible with other link in bio tools.
4. A shopping experience that feels native to your audience
Modern shoppers expect commerce to feel like the social apps they came from. Shop the Feed gives them that experience without losing control of the user journey.

Most people buy online through influencers on Instagram and TikTok but brands make the purchase process far too complicated. Mobile shoppers decide in seconds, and brands lose easy sales because the path from influencer → checkout is cluttered with unnecessary steps. Top Shopify brands fix this by making the tap → buy flow instant, turning influencers into real revenue channels rather than just awareness. Once brands remove the friction, influencer traffic becomes predictable and scalable.
