Linktree Alternative for Selling Products: When You Need a Catalog

If you sell products, a better alternative to a Linktree-style page is a catalog link: one page that shows every product with photos, prices, and options, and lets customers order on WhatsApp. Link-in-bio tools are built to list links, while a catalog like MyKatalog is built to show what you sell.

What link-in-bio pages are good at

Linktree and similar link-in-bio tools give you one page with a list of buttons. They work well for creators and brands who need to point followers to several places, such as a website, a newsletter, videos, and social profiles.

Where they fall short for sellers

A list of links is not a product catalog. Customers still have to tap through to other pages or message you to see what you sell and how much it costs, which puts you back to answering the same questions in every chat.

Link-in-bio page vs catalog link

For a seller, the main question is whether customers can see your products and prices without messaging you first.

Can I use both?

Yes. If you already use a link-in-bio page, add your MyKatalog link as the first button so shoppers go straight to your products. If selling is your main goal, many sellers simply put the MyKatalog link in their bio on its own.

Key takeaways

Link-in-bio pages list links; a catalog link shows your products and prices.

Sellers lose fewer customers when products are visible without messaging first.

MyKatalog adds product options, WhatsApp ordering, and product view tracking.

You can put your MyKatalog link inside an existing link-in-bio page.
