MinglyLink FAQ: fees, payouts, privacy and limits

Straight answers about what the free plan includes, what selling costs, how money reaches you, and the limits we would rather you knew up front than discovered later.

Fees, in one sentence: MinglyLink takes 0% of your sales. Buyers place the order on your page and pay you directly, however you agree: cash on delivery, bank transfer or your own payment link, outside MinglyLink. When card payments through MinglyLink launch, they will carry the card processor’s fee plus a small MinglyLink fee; orders paid to you directly stay at 0%.

Is MinglyLink free?

Yes — there is one plan and it costs nothing. The shop, the booking calendar, analytics, QR codes, email capture and your own SEO title and description are all included, with no trial clock, no credit card and no paid tier to upgrade to. Nothing you build gets locked later: the free plan is the whole product, not a sample of it.

How do I get paid, and when?

Two separate flows. Sales: the order reaches you with the buyer’s details and the buyer pays you directly, however you agree (cash on delivery, bank transfer or your own payment link) — the money never passes through MinglyLink, so there is nothing to wait for. Ad revenue share: you can withdraw your 60% share by bank transfer through Stripe once your balance reaches $50. Payouts are currently available for bank accounts in the UK, the EEA (except Iceland), Switzerland, the US and Canada, with more countries coming.

Do I need Shopify or a website?

No. Your products, digital downloads and bookable services live on your MinglyLink page, so the link already in your Instagram or TikTok bio is also your shop. Buyers add several items to a cart and place an order on the page. Shopify is the better tool once you need warehouse inventory rules, complex shipping zones or a standalone branded store.

Can I take bookings from my page?

Yes, and it is included. Set your availability, time zone and buffer times between appointments, and visitors book straight from your bio with email confirmations for both sides. Small clinics, coaches and salons use it today. For comparison, Calendly’s free plan allows one event type and its Standard plan costs $10 per seat per month.

Is MinglyLink GDPR compliant?

No provider can promise you compliance on its own, because it also depends on how you use your page. What you can verify about ours: MinglyLink Ltd is registered in England and Wales and subject to UK GDPR. Public pages set no cookies and load no Google Fonts and no third-party tracking scripts. We do not publish a hosting region yet.

How is MinglyLink different from Linktree?

Linktree’s free plan takes 12% of digital product and course sales, shows its logo on your page and QR code, and limits analytics to 28 days; removing the logo needs the Pro plan ($12 a month billed annually, $15 monthly), and Starter and Pro rose 60–67% in late 2025. MinglyLink includes the shop and booking on its only plan and takes 0% of your sales.

How is it free — how do you make money?

Advertisers pay us, not you. MinglyLink shows relevant offers from its own ad inventory on pages, and page owners keep 60% of the revenue those offers generate, while we keep 40% to run the platform. No third-party ad networks are loaded on your page.

Can I remove the branding?

Not today, and we would rather say so plainly. Every public page carries a small “Powered by MinglyLink” line in the footer, and generated QR codes have the MinglyLink mark in the centre. There is no paid tier that removes either. The trade-off is that nothing else is paywalled: unlike Linktree, you are not paying for a Pro plan ($12–$15 a month) to remove a logo.

How many links or products can I add?

Up to 100 items in your showcase — products, downloads, services, social rows and section dividers all count — plus up to 6 video links. We publish the real numbers rather than advertising “unlimited”, because the cap exists and you would find it eventually.

Can I use my own domain?

Not yet — MinglyLink does not support custom domains. Your page lives at ming.ly/yourname, a short link on a domain with its own search authority, which is what you put in your bio. You can point a domain you own at that URL with a redirect from your registrar, but the page itself will keep the ming.ly address.

What happens to my page if I stop using it?

It stays online. There is no inactivity timer, no expiry and no downgrade, so an abandoned page keeps working and keeps its URL — which matters if you printed it on a QR code or a menu. If you want it gone, you can delete your account, and the page and its links stop resolving.
