Linktree’s new feature, for pro tier users only, allows you to turn any story, photo, or video file into something people have to pay for online. The payments only work for one-time transactions, not monthly subscriptions, and users will have access to the content even if the link on Linktree gets deleted. For now, Linktree is not taking a cut of the sales. For more than 30 million users, this feature will greatly reduce the friction to sell digital content, especially for those without a website or online shop in place. Learn more.
