BioHiveThe Linktree alternative built for affiliate links
By the BioHive team · Updated
Link-in-bio tools were built to solve one problem: Instagram and TikTok give you a single clickable link. Linktree's answer is a page of buttons. That works for "my podcast, my newsletter, my merch". It works badly when most of what you share is products, because a button that says "Tote bag 👜" tells a follower almost nothing.
Buttons vs. product cards
When people tap your bio link, they're usually looking for one specific thing they saw in a post. A storefront helps them find it:
| List of buttons (Linktree-style) | Storefront (BioHive) | |
|---|---|---|
| What a follower sees | Text labels | Product photo, title, price, retailer |
| Finding one product among 50 | Scroll and guess | Search, tags, collections, or type the product's shop code |
| Discount codes | Typed into the button label | Shown on the card with tap-to-copy |
| Adding a product | Type a title, paste a link, upload an image | Paste the link; BioHive pulls the title, photo and price |
| Click stats | Varies by plan | Clicks per product, included |
| Cost | Free plan plus paid tiers (see Linktree's pricing) | $5/month flat, no commission |
Who should switch
- Fashion, beauty, home and tech creators who share outfits, routines or setups and get "link?" comments on every post.
- Amazon Associates and LTK/ShopMy creators who want every network on one page instead of sending people to three different storefronts.
- Creators using discount codes with brands, because the code sits right on the product card.
If your bio link is mostly music, events or newsletters, a link list is still a fine fit.
How to switch in about five minutes
- Create your BioHive store and pick your handle, e.g.
biohive.store/yourname. - Open Products → Import from Linktree and type your Linktree username. BioHive lists your links, ticks the shopping ones, and can copy your name, bio and social icons.
- Check the cards. Fix any price that looks off, add discount codes, and group items into collections like "Fall outfits" or "Skincare".
- Put
biohive.store/yournamein your Instagram and TikTok bio.
What you keep, what changes
Your affiliate links stay exactly as they are: BioHive doesn't rewrite your Amazon tag or LTK link, so commissions still come from the program to you. What changes is the page your followers land on, plus you get per-product click counts and a shop code on every item (e.g. JUG4) that you can say in videos.
FAQ
Is BioHive a Linktree alternative?
Yes, for creators whose bio link is mostly product recommendations. Linktree is a general link list; BioHive is a link-in-bio storefront that shows each affiliate link as a product card with a photo, price and Shop button. You can still add your socials and your website.
Does BioHive take a cut of my affiliate commissions?
No. BioHive is a flat $5 per month after a 14-day free trial. Commissions are paid by the affiliate program straight to you.
Can I move my links from Linktree to BioHive?
Yes. BioHive's importer reads your public Linktree page, finds your links, socials, name and bio, and turns the shopping links into product cards in one go. Nothing changes on your Linktree.
Which affiliate links work with BioHive?
Any http or https link: Amazon Associates (including amzn.to short links), LTK, ShopMy, SHEIN, Walmart, Target, brand programs on Impact, Rakuten, CJ or ShareASale, and plain store links with your discount code.
Do I need both Linktree and BioHive?
Usually not. BioHive pages include your social icons and a website link, so most creators replace their bio link entirely. If you need non-shopping features like music embeds or email capture, you can keep Linktree and add your BioHive store as one of its links.
