Why your link's card description and sales description can differ

Understand how the card description and sales description work together on link products.

🔗 Card Description vs. Sales Description on Links

When you create a link (URL) product, you can set two different pieces of text: a card description and a sales description. These show up in different places, and they no longer copy into each other.

📇 What Shows on the Storefront Card

On your storefront, your link's card shows the card description first. If you haven't set a card description, the card falls back to showing the sales description instead.

✏️ Editing Your Link

When you edit a link, your card description and sales description are kept separate. Editing the card description no longer gets copied into the sales description field.

This means the sales description stays blank until you fill it in yourself. It will not get overwritten by anything you type into the card description.

🆓 Free Links

If your link is free, you won't see a sales description editor. That's because the sales page for a free link falls back to showing the card description when the sales description is blank, so there's nothing extra for you to fill in.

💡 Why This Matters

Because the two fields are now kept separate, you can update your card description at any time without worrying about it changing what shows on your sales page. If you want specific text on your sales page, add it to the Sales Description field on the Checkout tab yourself.
