Can I Sell Digital Products With Linktree? (Yes—Here’s How to Do It Right)

If you’re a creator, coach, artist, or solo entrepreneur, you’ve probably used Linktree—or at least heard about it. It’s one of the easiest tools out there to organize and share all your important links in one neat little hub.

But what if you’re not just sharing links? What if you want to sell something—specifically, digital products like eBooks, templates, courses, printables, or music?

Here’s the good news: Yes, you can sell digital products with Linktree. And if done right, it can become a powerful, simple sales funnel that turns your followers into paying customers.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know—from how Linktree supports digital selling, to smart ways to connect your email marketing (like with MailDrip.io) so you can turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.

Let’s dive in.

Why Selling Digital Products is a Smart Move

Before we get into the “how,” let’s talk about the “why.”

Selling digital products is one of the most flexible, scalable ways to earn income online. There’s no shipping, no inventory, and you can create once and sell forever. Whether it’s a Notion template, a mini course, or even a custom music loop, digital products are perfect for creators who want to monetize their audience without extra overhead.

And the best part? You don’t need a fancy website to get started. Tools like Linktree let you set up a digital storefront in minutes—even if you’re not tech-savvy.

So, Can You Sell Digital Products on Linktree?

Yes—but with a little creativity.

Linktree itself isn’t a full e-commerce platform like Shopify or Gumroad. However, it lets you link out to your product pages, display paywall-protected content, and even collect payments directly through its built-in integrations with services like Square, PayPal, and Stripe (on the Pro plan).

Here’s how creators typically use Linktree to sell:

• Link to a product on Gumroad, Payhip, or Etsy
• Embed a payment form with Stripe
• Collect emails in exchange for free digital downloads
• Use Linktree’s ‘Commerce Links’ to sell directly

Let’s break down each of these options.

1. Linktree + Gumroad or Payhip

Platforms like Gumroad and Payhip are designed to host and deliver digital products. They manage everything—from payment to file delivery.

Just upload your product there, grab the product link, and add it to your Linktree. You can even customize your Linktree buttons to make it feel more like a store.

Pro tip: Add emojis, short CTAs (“🎧 Download My Beat Pack”) or urgency-based text (“🔥 Limited-Time Offer!”) to drive clicks.

2. Use Linktree’s Commerce Tools

If you’re on a paid Linktree plan, you can use “Commerce Links” to accept payments through Square or PayPal. It works best for simple offers—like an eBook or a digital guide.

While it’s not as advanced as a full e-commerce store, it’s ideal for creators who want to keep things lightweight and mobile-friendly.

3. Grow Your Email List While Selling

Here’s where MailDrip.io comes in.

Instead of just linking people to a product, why not exchange their email for a freebie? Maybe it’s a sample pack, a one-page cheat sheet, or a Canva template. Once you’ve got their email, you can use MailDrip to:

• Send a welcome email instantly
• Trigger a sequence of helpful tips, product offers, or upgrades
• Nurture them into paying customers (and loyal fans)

MailDrip.io is built for creators like you. No clutter. No bloated features. Just simple, automated emails that help you sell without spamming.

4. Linktree + Google Drive, Dropbox, or Notion

If you’re just getting started and don’t want to use a third-party store, you can also:

• Upload your digital product to Google Drive or Dropbox
• Set the sharing settings to “Anyone with the link can view”
• Then link directly from your Linktree

Important: This method doesn’t offer payment options, so it works best for free lead magnets or bonus files for existing customers.

5. Add a Booking Link or Course Signup

Selling services, coaching calls, or access to a course? Linktree works beautifully here too. Just link to your Calendly page, Teachable landing page, or Thinkific course.

You can even add a “Newsletter Signup” block and connect it to MailDrip.io so subscribers get follow-up content right away.

Best Practices for Selling Digital Products with Linktree

Here are a few tips to make your Linktree setup work better for sales:

Keep your top-selling product above the fold. People don’t scroll—make it easy.
Use visuals. Pro users can add thumbnails and banners to make it look more like a storefront.
Write clear, short CTAs. (“Get My Free Canva Template” is better than “Click here”)
Connect email marketing. Don’t just make a sale—build a relationship.
Test your links regularly. Make sure nothing is broken and everything loads well on mobile.

How MailDrip.io Can Help You Sell Smarter

Even though Linktree helps get people to click, what happens after the click is just as important. That’s where email automation comes in.

With MailDrip.io, you can set up drip sequences that:

• Welcome new subscribers
• Introduce your products
• Share testimonials and success stories
• Offer discounts at the right time
• Drive repeat purchases

It’s designed to be simple, with free templates, pay-as-you-go options, and no hidden fees. So whether you’re sending 50 emails or 5,000, you’re always in control.

And since most digital product sales don’t happen instantly, MailDrip.io helps you stay top of mind—without lifting a finger.

FAQs

Do I need a paid Linktree account to sell digital products?

Not necessarily. You can link out to external stores for free. But if you want to use Linktree’s built-in payment features, you’ll need the Pro version.

Can I deliver the digital file directly from Linktree?

No, Linktree doesn’t host files. You’ll need to use platforms like Gumroad, Payhip, Dropbox, or your email service provider to deliver the product.

What digital products can I sell?

Anything from PDFs, templates, checklists, music files, Lightroom presets, eBooks, printables, mini courses, and more.

Is it secure?

If you use reputable platforms for hosting and payments, yes. Linktree itself doesn’t store files or handle payments directly unless you’re using their integrations.

Final Thoughts

So yes—selling digital products with Linktree is possible, and surprisingly effective when you pair it with smart email automation. Think of Linktree as your storefront window and MailDrip.io as your sales assistant who follows up, builds trust, and keeps customers coming back.

You don’t need a full website. You don’t need to be techy. You just need the right tools, a great product, and a simple plan.
