How to Add a Link to Your Spotify Artist Profile

To add a link to your Spotify artist profile, open Spotify for Artists and edit one of its supported placements: social links in About, an Artist Pick for eligible Spotify content, or Follower Support for approved fundraising partners. Spotify does not turn URLs typed into your artist bio into clickable links. Custom Work lets you offer clearly scoped commissions and services: you set the price, the scope and the delivery time, and followers submit a brief and pay before you start.

Spotify does not turn URLs typed into your artist bio into clickable links. Spotify's own bio guidance caps the field at 1,500 characters and names only two ways to create a link inside it — an @tag pointing to an artist, album, playlist, or track, or a pasted Spotify link — with no mention of plain external URLs becoming clickable (Spotify for Artists Support — Adding a bio).

How do I add social media links to my Spotify artist profile?

Use Spotify for Artists rather than the regular Spotify listener app:

1. Sign in at artists.spotify.com with access to the claimed artist profile.
2. Open Profile and locate the About section.
3. Select Edit beside the social-links area.
4. Add the supported profile URLs and select Save.

Spotify says social links “appear in the About section of your profile in the Spotify app” (Spotify for Artists Support).

The field accepts exactly four platforms — Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Wikipedia — per Spotify's own blog on the feature (Spotify for Artists blog). It is not a general-purpose field for an artist website, online store, link-in-bio page, or other external URL, so a link-in-bio page belongs on the Instagram or X profile you list there, one tap from Spotify.

Can an Artist Pick link to any external website?

No. An Artist Pick is not an unrestricted external-link slot: Spotify's own instructions state it "sits at the top of your profile" and require artists to search for content or paste a Spotify link, so the pasted URL must lead to content Spotify's Artist Pick system recognizes (Spotify for Artists Support — Managing your Artist Pick).

To create an Artist Pick:

1. Open the Spotify for Artists mobile app.
2. Select the Profile tab.
3. Tap + under Artist Pick.
4. Search for supported content or paste its Spotify link.
5. Add a caption if desired, then save the Pick.

Spotify's own support article names the exact content types Artist Pick can showcase: "songs, albums, music videos, or playlists," "concerts," "merch," or "podcast shows or episodes (web only)" — nothing outside that list, so it cannot be described as a way to paste an arbitrary website, store, or paid-interaction URL.

What is a Spotify Follower Support link?

Follower Support is Spotify’s dedicated option for artists who want to “raise funds from followers on Spotify”. Spotify renamed the feature from Artist Fundraising Pick to Follower Support on May 26, 2022.

Follower Support accepts approved fundraising partners rather than arbitrary URLs. As of September 2026, Spotify approves exactly three partners for U.S. accounts — Cash App, GoFundMe, and PayPal.Me — while other partners are region-locked: Givealittle only in New Zealand, Mercado Pago and PayU only in parts of Latin America, and iyzico only in Turkey (Spotify for Artists Support — Follower Support fundraising partners). The follower completes that contribution on the partner's own app or site rather than on Spotify itself.

Follower Support works for optional donations and fundraising, but it does not let you set a fixed price for one written answer, one custom video, or another defined deliverable. For paid requests, use an external page where the follower chooses the offer and price before submitting. If you are worried that support language can feel like begging, frame it as a clear optional action — a contribution, a thank-you, or a defined request — instead of an open-ended plea.

How do Spotify’s profile link placements compare?

Spotify's artist profile has exactly four link-bearing fields — social links, Artist Pick, Follower Support, and the plain-text bio — and each one accepts a different, narrowly defined set of destinations rather than any external URL, per Spotify for Artists' own documentation for each feature.

Sources for this table: bio format and character limit (Spotify for Artists Support — Adding a bio); Artist Pick placement and supported content; Follower Support partners.

Where should each supported Spotify link lead?

Send each Spotify placement to the destination it was built for — active social profiles in the social-links field, current releasable content in Artist Pick, and an approved fundraising partner in Follower Support — rather than treating any of them as a general-purpose link slot. Match the destination to the placement:

• Social links: Use one of the four supported platforms — Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, or Wikipedia — for a profile you update regularly and where followers can find your other links, such as your Pinterest profile or your Snapchat profile.
• Artist Pick: Feature eligible Spotify content — a release, playlist, concert, merch item, or podcast episode — that matters most right now.
• Follower Support: Use one of the three U.S.-approved partners (Cash App, GoFundMe, or PayPal.Me) when collecting donations or raising money for a project.
• Bio: Explain who you are in up to 1,500 characters, but do not rely on a typed URL because it will not become clickable.

If your broader goal is deciding which destinations to promote outside Spotify, see what creators should put in a link in bio and how to monetize a link in bio. Those strategies apply to channels that permit general external URLs; they do not override Spotify’s placement restrictions. If SoundCloud is part of your off-Spotify funnel, compare SoundCloud artist payout requirements before making it a primary follower destination.

How can musicians share paid requests and one-time support links outside Spotify?

Spotify does not provide a general external-URL field where listeners can buy a $25 Paid Question, a $35 Personalized Video, a $50 commission through Custom Work, or send a $3 Tip directly from an artist profile. If you are unsure listeners will pay, start with one clearly defined offer—such as a $25 private written answer or a $50 commission—so they know exactly what they are buying. Musicians can instead share those links through websites, email, a newsletter such as your Substack profile, or social profiles that allow external destinations. For a professional profile, you can also add links to a LinkedIn profile through Contact info or Featured.

One option is Brillay: use one link for Paid Questions, Personalized Videos, Custom Work, Tips, Goals, and Brand Collaboration Inquiries. There is no follower minimum or monthly fee; followers can pay by card without creating an account, the pricing page lists Brillay's platform fee, and creators can receive payouts in 41 countries (how it works). Followers make a one-time purchase or contribution, no membership, and you set the price for every paid request.

Share your Brillay URL through your website, email, newsletter, or a social profile that accepts external links. Once a follower opens it, they can choose any enabled offer and pay by card as a guest. Followers pay upfront; you can decline a request.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the URL in my Spotify artist bio not clickable?

Spotify's bio field is capped at 1,500 characters and only turns @tags and pasted Spotify links into clickable elements, so a typed external URL stays plain text. Use the supported social-links area, an eligible Artist Pick, or an approved Follower Support partner instead.

Can I add my website or online store directly to Spotify?

No: Spotify's social-links field is limited to Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Wikipedia, with no general website or store option, and Artist Pick only takes songs, albums, playlists, concerts, merch, or podcast shows/episodes rather than arbitrary URLs. Follower Support is limited to approved fundraising partners.

Do I need Spotify for Artists to manage profile links?

Yes. Social links, Artist Pick, and Follower Support are all managed through Spotify for Artists, which requires access to the claimed artist profile. They cannot be edited from the public artist page in the regular listener experience.

Can followers pay me directly through my Spotify profile?

Follower Support lets followers contribute through one of three approved U.S. partners — Cash App, GoFundMe, or PayPal.Me (Spotify for Artists Support — Follower Support fundraising partners). Spotify does not provide a built-in way for a follower to buy a Paid Question, Personalized Video, or custom request at your fixed price. With Brillay request offers, followers pay upfront.

What should I do next?

Add your supported social profiles, choose eligible Spotify content for Artist Pick, and configure Follower Support if you want donations through an approved partner. For one-time paid requests outside Spotify, define exactly what the follower gets, set a fixed price and delivery time, and write the correction and refund policy the follower reads before paying, so they know before checkout what happens if a delivery needs fixing.
