Your profile has three tabs, each fed by a different type of post. Fans land on Store by default.
The three tabs
| Tab | Shows | What a fan sees |
| Store | Store posts | Thumbnail, caption up to two lines, and a price. Where fans land first. |
| Feed | Subscription posts | Non-subscribers see a teaser grid. Promoted posts show a preview, subscriber-only posts are locked tiles. Subscribing unlocks all of it. |
| Public | Discovery posts | A grid of free and locked posts. Identical whether or not a fan subscribes. |
Fans can buy a store post without subscribing. At checkout there is a toggle to subscribe and buy at the same time, which is how a browsing fan often becomes a subscriber.
If your subscriber price is lower than your non-subscriber price, both are shown with the higher one struck through. If they are the same, only one appears.
Setting up your profile
Tap the gear icon on your profile, then Edit profile.
| Handle Your @username, and part of your profile link. Changing it breaks every link you have already shared, with no redirect. |
| Profile name and bio What appears at the top of your profile. |
| Sub Feed Bio The pitch on your subscription section. Leave it blank and fans see a generic default instead. |
| Social links Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, X, Snapchat, Linktree, Beacons. |
Your subscription offer
A monthly subscription by default, with optional three and six month bundles at a discount you set. Longer bundles are paid upfront, which is worth more to you than the same fan renewing monthly and lapsing in month two.
The Sub Feed Bio is the only thing on that section you control, so it is worth writing. Edit it from Edit profile, or from the pencil icon on the sub feed bio itself.
The bolt on a feed post
A bolt marks a post you have promoted to Discovery, meaning it is visible beyond your subscribers. No bolt means it is subscriber-exclusive.
Useful for seeing at a glance which posts are working for reach and which are there as a subscriber benefit.
Worth doing
Lead your Store with your best sellers, since that tab is what fans see first. Use free Discovery posts to bring people in and locked ones to convert them. Put your profile link everywhere.
And think hard before changing your handle. Every link you have shared stops working, including ones in places you can no longer edit.
Common questions
+Which tab do fans see first?
Store, always, by default.
+Can fans buy without subscribing?
Yes. Store posts and locked Discovery posts are available to anyone. The checkout offers subscribing at the same time, at your subscriber price.
+What is the Sub Feed Bio?
The text on your subscription section. If you do not set one, fans see a default line rather than anything specific to you.
+Will changing my handle break my links?
Yes, immediately and permanently. Only change it when you genuinely have to.
