Shop tiles turn your link in bio into a storefront. One tile, one product or many, with no transaction fees and no commission. The merchant keeps the money; we keep the visitor on your page until they decide to buy.

A shop tile looks like a regular tile in the grid, with one tell: a small white circle with a shopping bag in the top right corner. Tap it and a product list slides up. Visitors browse without leaving your page.

What you can sell

  • Shopify product links.
  • WooCommerce product links.
  • Etsy listings.
  • Amazon products.
  • Affiliate programs: Amazon Associates, LTK (Like to Know It).

What you do not pay

Rook Links does not take a cut of any sale. Visitors pay the merchant directly. We never sit in the checkout flow. Whatever processor your store uses (Stripe, Razorpay, Etsy Payments) handles the money the same way it would on your store directly.

What a shop tile holds

  • Cover image: square, hero shot or flat lay.
  • Title and short description that frames the collection.
  • List of products, each with image, name, and short description.
  • Optional price overlay if your merchant URL exposes one.

How visitors browse

Tap the shop tile, the modal slides up. Cover and description fix to the top. The product list scrolls with a thumb. Tap a product, the visitor lands on the merchant page where they buy.

Each product tap fires its own analytics event so you know which product pulled the buyer in.
