Creatives using Linktree as an income source recently got access to paywalls via thePayment lock feature, but theweb hostingalternative isn’t stopping there.
They also already have access to a tip jar viaSupport Melinks, but from now on, fans and supporters can thank creatives quickly, easily, and without an account with the “Buy Me a Gift” feature, functioning much likeKo-fi’s one-off “buy a coffee” feature.

New Linktree widgets
The key difference between the existing tip jar functionality offered by Linktree’s Support Me links and the new Buy Me a Gift feature appears to be that the value of a “gift” can be set manually by a Linktree user. Fans can then select one, two, or even three of these if they choose to support a creator.
Elsewhere, alongside the new additions of embeddable storefronts, from which supporters can easily buy single products or browse all of a user’s products, users can also display single SendOwl links on their Linktree page.
