What Happened to Linkpop — and Why Creators Are Switching to Pop.Store in 2025

Linkpop made waves as Shopify’s answer to link-in-bio tools — a fast, shoppable link page that promised seamless product integration and easy monetization. But in 2025, it’s quietly been sunsetted, leaving thousands of creators, small businesses, and Shopify users scrambling for a replacement.

If you’re wondering where Linkpop went — and what to use instead — this post breaks it all down, and shows why POP.STORE is becoming the go-to choice for creators who want more than just a link.

🚫 The End of Linkpop

Linkpop was launched by Shopify to compete with tools like Linktree, Stan.Store, and Beacons.ai. It focused heavily on:

  • Product linking from Shopify stores
  • Customizable bio pages
  • Mobile-first shopping experiences

But here’s what happened:

  • Shopify has officially shut down Linkpop in 2025
  • Existing users were notified that their pages would no longer be supported
  • Creators were left without an alternative inside Shopify’s ecosystem

Why Link-in-Bio Tools Still Matter — But Need an Upgrade

In 2025, link-in-bio tools aren’t just about organizing your links — they’re about monetization, ownership, and control.

The creator economy has evolved:

  • You’re not just linking — you’re selling
  • You’re not just collecting clicks — you’re building a business
  • You need more than a landing page — you need a storefront

That’s where POP.STORE comes in.

Why Creators Are Moving to POP.STORE

Creators today don’t want to build someone else’s brand. They want:

💰 More ways to earn (AI tools, digital downloads, paid chats, affiliate links)
