Bioshelf vs LinkShop vs Linktree vs Beacons

Updated on

If you sell on Shopify and your followers find you on Instagram or TikTok, these are four ways to fill your bio link. We make Bioshelf, and it isn't launched yet: it's launching soon on the Shopify App Store. So this page sticks to what each company says on its own pages, checked on 26 September 2026, and says where another option may suit you better. When a page doesn't say, we write "Not stated".

LinkShop

LinkShop is a Shopify app by Checkout Links, with the "Built for Shopify" badge and a 4.6 rating from 27 reviews on its listing. It has one plan at $15/month with a 7-day free trial, and its own site says it's free on development stores.

Where it beats Bioshelf today: the page is served from your own store domain, at yourstore.com/a/linkshop (help center). Shoppers add to cart on the page and go to Shopify's checkout with the cart filled (how shoppers buy). It counts views, clicks, add to carts and sales from its cart (analytics). Its site also lists unlimited products and links, multiple pages, email collection, and review and bundle blocks.

The trade-off: you build the page yourself. Its quickstart guide has you pick a theme and add blocks, which it says takes a few minutes.

If you also want offer links that open checkout with the cart built and a discount applied, LinkShop's developer sells them as a separate app, Checkout Links, at $25/month.

It suits you if you want shoppers to buy without leaving the bio page, on your own domain.

Linktree

Linktree's Shopify app has Free, Starter ($8/month), Pro ($15/month) and Premium ($35/month) plans, with a 7-day free trial on Pro and Premium. Its help center says you can add up to six products from your Shopify store. The listing mentions click and revenue tracking, scheduling and a QR code, and shows a 3.6 rating from 18 reviews. Pages live on the linktr.ee domain, which Linktree's pricing page calls "safe, recognizable, and built for social".

It suits a link-heavy bio (a podcast, a newsletter, bookings) with a few products on the side, and it's free to start. For the six-product cap, read our page on the Linktree Shopify product limit.

Beacons

Beacons is a creator toolkit. Its pricing page covers a link in bio, websites, a store, email marketing, a media kit, Instagram auto-DMs and affiliate links. Plans are Free, Creator ($10/month), Creator Plus ($30/month) and Creator Max ($100/month) billed monthly, with lower prices billed annually. It lists a "Shopify integration" to bring your Shopify products to Beacons, but that page doesn't say how products sync, how many you can show or where checkout happens. The Free and Creator plans list 9% seller fees, so ask how they apply to Shopify products.

It suits you if you're a creator first (brand deals, digital products, email) and your Shopify products are one part of it.

Where Bioshelf fits

Bioshelf is for Shopify merchants who want a bio page that sets itself up and stays right.

It builds itself. On install, your page is built in under 30 seconds from your theme (logo, brand colours, social links), your best-sellers of the last 60 days and your collections.

It never goes stale. Products sync from Shopify by webhooks and update within seconds. Sold-out products show "Sold out" and move to the end of the grid. A page shows up to 12 products and up to 4 collection cards.

You finally know what social sells. UTM parameters are added automatically to every link to your store. Meta and TikTok pixels (behind a consent banner) and clicks per product and link show what your followers do, and orders are attributed to your bio link.

You edit the page in the Shopify admin and choose one of 6 themes. There's one plan: $14/month, everything included, with a 7-day free trial, billed through Shopify.
