How to Set Up Gifts on Your Bio Page, Step by Step

14 mins read

Setting up gifts takes about ten minutes: add a Gift Shop block to your bio page, choose up to three gifts, set a price and an optional reward for each, then set up payouts so the money can reach you. Here is every step.

Before you start

  • AccountAny account, free included, with at least one bio page
  • Gifts on the free plan3 in total; paid plans allow up to 20
  • Per blockUp to three gifts
  • Our share20% of each gift, card processing included

Step 1: Add the Gift Shop block

  1. Open your page Go to Dashboard › Link-in-bio and open the page you want to sell from.
  2. Add a block Choose to add a new block and pick Gift Shop from the list.
  3. Place it high Drag it into the top half of your page. Blocks below the fold get a fraction of the taps.

Step 2: Choose your gifts and prices

  1. Pick a gift for each slot Choose from the catalogue of more than ninety: a takeaway cup, a heart, a rocket, a crown, a mic and many more. The artwork and name come from the catalogue.
  2. Set a price The price is yours. A common pattern is a small, a medium and a generous option, such as $5, $15 and $40.
  3. Write a one-line description Say what the gift pays for: "Covers one hour of editing".

Step 3: Attach a reward (optional, recommended)

Open the reward options under a gift and choose what unlocks when someone buys it:

  • Note — a personal thank-you message.
  • Files — images, video or audio you upload.
  • PDF — a guide, recipe, workbook or zine.
  • Link — a private video, playlist, booking page or anything else you host.

The reward appears on the buyer's thank-you page the moment payment clears, and signed-in buyers keep it in My Unlocks. More detail in how unlocks work.

Step 4: Set up how you get paid

You have two routes, and the commission is the same on both:

  1. Connect Stripe (recommended) Go to Account menu › Payouts and follow Stripe's form. Once Stripe clears you, each gift settles in your own Stripe account and pays out to your bank on Stripe's schedule. No minimum, nothing to request.
  2. Or use your wallet Without Stripe, your share is credited to Dashboard › Wallet. Add your PayPal email there and request a payout once you reach the minimum shown on the page.
Why Stripe asks for IDAnyone accepting card payments has to be verified by law. You enter those details on Stripe's own form, and we never see them. See what Stripe asks for.

Step 5: Save, preview, and test the flow

  1. Save the block and open your public page on your phone.
  2. Check the order Is the Gift Shop block visible without scrolling far?
  3. Read it as a stranger Would you know what each gift is for and what you get?

Step 6: Tell people

A gift block nobody knows about earns nothing. Add a line to your bio ("Send me a coffee ↓"), pin a post about it, and mention it at the end of your next three useful posts. Platform-by-platform placement tips are here.

Where to see your sales

Every gift is listed at Dashboard › Revenue with what the buyer paid and what you received.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell gifts without a Stripe account?

Yes. Without Stripe, your share of each gift is credited to your gomy•bio wallet, and you can withdraw it to PayPal once it reaches the minimum shown on the Wallet page. Connecting Stripe removes the minimum and pays you directly.

Can I change a gift's price later?

Yes. Open the block, change the price or reward and save. Changes apply to future purchases; anything already bought keeps the reward it was sold with.

How do I offer more than three gifts?

Add a second Gift Shop block. Each block holds three gifts so the page stays easy to read on a phone. Your plan sets the total: 3 on the free plan, up to 20 on paid plans.

Does the buyer need a gomy•bio account?

No. Guests pay by card and receive a receipt by email with a link back to their reward.

Start free — your page can be giftable before your coffee goes cold.
