How to Add Your Link in Bio to TikTok (2026 Guide)
Your TikTok bio is prime real estate. Every viewer who visits your profile is one tap away from becoming a website visitor, a customer, or a subscriber — but only if you give them somewhere to go. Adding a clickable link to your TikTok bio is one of the simplest, highest-impact moves you can make as a creator or business owner.
In this guide, we'll walk you through exactly how to add a link to your TikTok bio in 2026, what the requirements are, and how to get the most out of that single link using a free tool like MinglyLink.

What Is a TikTok Bio Link?
A TikTok bio link is a clickable URL that appears on your profile page, directly below your bio text. When someone taps it, they're taken to whatever destination you've set — your website, your shop, your booking page, or a link-in-bio landing page.
TikTok only allows one clickable website link in your bio. That's why many creators use a link-in-bio tool like MinglyLink to consolidate all their important links into a single, clean URL like ming.ly/yourname.
Requirements for Adding a Link to Your TikTok Bio
Before you can add a clickable link, you need to meet at least one of these conditions:
- Have a TikTok Business Account — Business accounts can add a website link regardless of follower count. Switching is free and takes about 30 seconds.
- Have 1,000+ followers on a personal account — Once you cross this threshold on a personal or creator account, the website field unlocks.
If you don't meet either requirement, you can still type a URL into your bio as plain text, but it won't be clickable. Your best bet is to switch to a Business Account, which we'll cover next.
Additional Requirements (2026)
- Your account must be verified with a phone number or email.
- Your profile should be complete (photo and bio text).
- Your account must be in good standing with TikTok's community guidelines.
- You must be 18 or older.
Step 1: Switch to a TikTok Business Account (If Needed)
If you have fewer than 1,000 followers, start here:
- Open the TikTok app on your phone (this cannot be done on desktop).
- Go to your Profile by tapping the person icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap the three-line menu (☰) in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings and Privacy → Account → Switch to Business Account.
- Choose a business category that best describes what you do.
- Tap Next to confirm.
That's it. Your account is now a Business Account, and the website field is unlocked.
Good to know: Switching to a Business Account is free. You'll gain access to analytics and professional tools. The trade-off is that some copyrighted sounds may become unavailable in your videos.
Step 2: Add Your Link
Once you have a Business Account (or 1,000+ followers), follow these steps:
- Open the TikTok app on your mobile device.
- Tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap Edit Profile below your follower count.
- Tap the Links section (you'll see fields for Website, Instagram, YouTube, and Lemon8).
- In the Website field, type or paste your URL. Make sure it includes
https://— TikTok won't add it automatically. - Tap Save.
- Go back to your profile and confirm the link is visible and clickable.
Pro tip: Use a short, memorable URL like ming.ly/yourname instead of a long website address. It's cleaner, easier to remember, and MinglyLink gives you a high domain-rating short link for free.
Step 3: Make the Most of Your Single Link
Since TikTok only allows one link, you want it to count. Here's where a link-in-bio tool becomes essential.
With MinglyLink, you can create a free, fully customisable bio page that houses all your important links in one place:
- Your website or online store
- Your booking page (MinglyLink has a built-in booking system)
- Your other social media profiles
- Your latest content, products, or promotions
- A contact form for leads and enquiries
Your MinglyLink page lives at a clean ming.ly/yourname URL — just paste that into your TikTok bio and you're set.
Why MinglyLink Over Other Tools?
- Completely free — no paywalled features, no premium tiers to unlock basic functionality.
- Revenue sharing — earn from curated ads placed on your page, with a 60/40 split in your favour.
- Built-in booking system — perfect if you run a clinic, salon, or service-based business.
- SEO-optimised pages — your bio page is indexed by search engines and fully rankable.
- Link safety — every link on your page is checked via Google Safe Browsing to protect your followers.
- QR codes — generate a QR code for your page and use it on business cards, flyers, or packaging.
What to Do If the Link Option Doesn't Appear
If you meet the requirements but still can't see the website field:
- Update your TikTok app to the latest version.
- Restart your phone — sometimes account privileges need a refresh.
- Log out and back in to your TikTok account.
- Try switching to a Business Account temporarily — this often forces the field to appear.
- Wait 24–48 hours — TikTok's system sometimes takes time to recognise your new follower count or account type.
If none of this works, check that your account is in good standing and that you're not in a region where certain features are restricted.
Tips for Optimising Your TikTok Bio Link
- Mention your link in your videos. A simple "Link in bio" call-to-action can dramatically increase clicks.
- Pin a comment with context about what viewers will find when they tap your link.
- Keep your bio page updated. Swap in new links when you have fresh content, products, or promotions.
- Use analytics. MinglyLink gives you a full analytics dashboard showing page visits, link clicks, and conversions — use this data to understand what your audience cares about.
- Match your MinglyLink page to your brand. Customise themes, colours, and layout so it feels like a natural extension of your TikTok profile.
