FAQ

Can I keep using Beacons?

Yes. Many creators keep Beacons in their bio for the profile and use Smartlinker so each video goes straight to its product. You can even set a Beacons page as a video's destination.

Do I need a link in bio to use Smartlinker?

No. Smartlinker works from each video's Share button. According to Later's guide, TikTok only shows a clickable profile link for business accounts with more than 1,000 followers, so with Smartlinker you can send traffic from your very first video.
