If you frequently use Google Docs for collaboration, creating a QR code can help others access your document with just a quick scan.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to make a QR code for a Google Doc using Replug and directly inside Google Chrome.

Offering quick links to important documents in business presentations
Distributing forms and surveys without requiring users to manually type a link
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of generating a QR code for your Google Docs using Google Chrome and Replug.

If you use Google Chrome, you can generate a QR code for your Google Doc without any third-party tools. Here’s how:
Open your Google Doc in Chrome.

You know how TikTok is the place to discover new stuff – fashion, home inspo, DIY hacks, aesthetic mood boards; basically everything Pinterest is also known for?
Now imagine someone finds your TikTok, loves your vibe, and wants more. Maybe they’re looking for your outfit details, your vision board, or that recipe you teased. They tap the link in your TikTok bio and it either goes nowhere or just dumps them on a random page.
That’s a missed opportunity.
If you’re using Pinterest to share your content, promote your blog, or even build a mood board-worthy brand, you need to connect the dots.
And that starts with adding your Pinterest link to your TikTok bio, the right way.
We’ll start with TikTok’s built-in features, and then show you how to do more (and better) with Replug’s bio link feature; especially handy if you’re stuck without the “Website” option or want to add more than just Pinterest.
Let’s make your bio work as hard as your content does!
Why add your Pinterest link to TikTok?
Because people don’t just watch content anymore — they click, scroll, and shop. Hence, it’s super important to create shareable content that makes your audience keep coming back for more.
Let’s say you’re:
A lifestyle creator who posts dreamy room decor on TikTok.
A DIY enthusiast sharing how-tos.
A fashion lover posting OOTDs and linking Pinterest boards with outfit inspo.
Pinterest helps you extend your content. It’s where the vibes live.
When you connect your TikTok to Pinterest, you give your followers a one-click path to your vision. It keeps them in your world longer, and that’s gold if you’re building a brand, growing your following, or even selling something.
Now let’s learn how to add your Pinterest link to TikTok bio.
Method 1: How to add Pinterest link to TikTok bio using TikTok’s built-in options
TikTok only allows one clickable link in your bio. So naturally, you’ll want to make it count.

If you’re an active TikTok user, you know how tricky it can be to share multiple links when your bio only allows for one. You might want to share your website, your other social media pages, or maybe even a special offer, but there’s just no room. That’s where linktree enters the show. It’s a simple solution that lets you pack all your links into a single URL. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to add a linktree on TikTok using Replug and why it’s a game-changer.
Why add a linktree to your TikTok bio?
TikTok is all about quick engagement, and your bio is prime real estate. But with only one link allowed, it can be tough to share everything you want your followers to check out. A linktree solves this by allowing you to bundle all your important links into one easy-to-find page, whether it’s your latest blog post, YouTube channel, or shop.
Using a linktree means you no longer need to constantly update your TikTok bio with different links whenever something new comes up. Instead, you can just add a single linktree link and let your audience find everything they need in one place.
How to add a linktree on TikTok?
Adding a linktree on your TikTok is quite simple, much like Instagram. It lets you feature a link directly on your profile, making it easy for followers to find your website, social pages, or any content you want to highlight.
Follow these simple steps to add a linktree to your TikTok bio in just a few minutes:
Open the TikTok app and go to your profile by tapping the profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the homepage.
Tap “Edit Profile.”
Click on “Links” to add your bio link to your TikTok profile. You can do this by clicking on “Website”
What to do if you can’t see the option for “Website”
The Website feature isn’t currently available everywhere. If the “Website” section isn’t showing up for you, there are a few things to consider:
Meet the follower requirement: Personal Accounts need at least 1,000 followers to add a website link.
Switch to a Business Account: Clickable links in bios without a follower limitation of 1,000 are only available for Business Accounts.
Use the Mobile app: Links can only be added through the TikTok mobile app, not the desktop version.
Switching to a TikTok business account
If you’re using a personal account but want to add a bio link for your business, consider switching to a Business Account. This will give you access to more features, including the ability to add a clickable link.
Here’s how to make the switch:
Tap on your profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
Tap the hamburger menu (three lines) in the top-right corner to open the Settings & Privacy menu.
Select Account.
Tap Switch to Business Account.
Once you’ve switched, head back to your profile, tap Edit Profile, add the linktree you’ve created using Replug under the Website section.

But wait… what even is “Threads”?
If you’re an Instagram pro, you’ve probably heard of Instagram Threads by now, and maybe even wondered how you can bring the two together.
Threads is Instagram’s text-based counterpart, built around promoting healthy conversations, while Instagram itself thrives on visual content.
Threads, the newer text-based app from Meta, is all about sparking meaningful conversations and staying connected with your audience in a more direct way. Since its launch in July 2023, Threads has skyrocketed to over 300 million monthly actives (Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram), many of whom have come from Instagram. Why? Because these two platforms sync up perfectly, making it easy to link them and create a seamless experience.
Think of it as X’s/Twitter’s most popular alternative.
How to add threads to Instagram bio?
Now let’s get to the fun part! There are three methods to add threads in your Instagram bio:
Method 1: As a clickable icon directly through the Threads app
Method 2: Adding a Threads link using Instagram’s External link option.
Method 3: Using the Replug bio link feature
Method 1: How to add Threads to Instagram bio as a clickable icon directly through the Threads app
Open the threads app: If you don’t have the Threads app installed already, go to your Apple Store or Playstore to install it.

By directing traffic to a central hub, these tools simplify navigation, improve the user experience, and ultimately increase conversions. This feature allows your audience to easily find and purchase products directly from your bio.

Hashtags: Include trending and niche-specific hashtags in your posts. Hashtags increase your content’s visibility and help users find your store through social media search.
Engaging content: Post content that is shareable and engaging. The more people interact with your posts, the higher the chance of being seen by potential customers.
Your blog content can play a big role in driving traffic. Here’s how to make the most out of it:
Share blog snippets: Post visually engaging excerpts or summaries of your blog posts to drive traffic from social media. Add call-to-actions like “Learn more” or “Shop now.”
Engagement: Share blog posts and encourage your followers to engage with the content by asking questions or sharing their thoughts in the comments.
Consistency: Schedule regular blog post shares using social media management tools to keep your audience engaged and always have fresh content going out at peak times.
When you consistently share blog content across your social media channels, you expand your reach, drive traffic to your store, and build lasting relationships with your audience.
13. Leveraging user-generated content (UGC)
User-generated content (UGC) is one of the most effective ways to build trust with your audience and increase ecommerce sales. When customers share their experiences, whether through reviews, photos, or videos, it feels more authentic and relatable. According to Stackla, 79% of people trust UGC over branded content, making it a powerful tool to drive conversions.
Why UGC boosts conversions & engagement
UGC acts as social proof, showing potential customers that real people love your products. This kind of content is often perceived as more genuine than traditional advertising. When your existing customers share their positive experiences, it creates a ripple effect, encouraging others to follow suit and purchase from your brand.
A study found that the average consumer reads 10 online reviews before buying a new product. This makes UGC not only valuable for engagement but also crucial for converting leads into sales.
Encouraging customers to share reviews and testimonials
Reviews and testimonials are key to creating a strong foundation of trust. You should encourage customers to leave feedback by:
Offering incentives like discounts or exclusive access to products.
Highlighting positive reviews on your social media platforms to show appreciation and strenghten confidence in new customers.
Making it easy to leave reviews by integrating review options directly on your website or via email after a purchase.
When customers see that others are enjoying your products, they’re more likely to trust your brand and make a purchase.
Running UGC contests & giveaways for maximum reach
UGC contests and giveaways are great ways to encourage customer engagement and expand your reach. For example:
Host a photo contest where customers share photos of themselves using your products, with the chance to win a prize.
Encourage creative content such as short videos, reviews, or stories, which you can repost on your social media profiles.
Shoppable posts help brands sell directly through social media platforms, eliminating the need for customers to leave the app to make a purchase. Here’s how you can use shoppable posts across different platforms:

Maintaining a consistent presence on social media is crucial for increasing ecommerce sales and building brand awareness. However, the key to success lies in finding the right balance between posting frequently and maintaining quality content.
Here are some strategies to help you post consistently and keep your audience engaged:
The importance of a content calendar: A content calendar helps you stay on top of trends, plan for promotions, and stay consistent without scrambling for ideas at the last minute. With tools like ContentStudio, you can schedule your posts across multiple platforms, track performance, and align your content with important dates or sales events.
Finding the right posting frequency: It’s tempting to want to post as much as possible, but flooding your followers’ feeds can actually hurt engagement. On the flip side, posting too infrequently may cause your audience to forget about you. The key is to find a posting frequency that aligns with your audience’s preferences.
Engaging with your audience: Respond to DMs, like and comment on followers’ posts, and reply to comments on your stories and posts. Social media algorithms also reward engagement, meaning your content is more likely to be seen if you actively engage with your followers.
Social media isn’t just about posting—it’s about listening, too. Customers constantly share feedback, opinions, and experiences, giving ecommerce brands direct insights into their needs and expectations. Social listening tools help track these conversations, identify trends, and refine marketing strategies in real-time.
Here’s how it helps:
Monitoring brand mentions & customer conversations: Tools like Brandwatch, Mention, and Sprout Social allow businesses to track brand mentions across platforms, helping them respond to feedback, resolve issues, and engage with customers more effectively.
Identifying trends & buying behavior changes: Platforms like BuzzSumo and Talkwalker analyze trending topics, hashtags, and competitor activities, helping brands spot shifts in consumer behavior and adapt their strategies accordingly.
Using social listening means making informed decisions based on what customers are actually saying, not just guessing.
Key benefits of using social media for ecommerce
Using social media for ecommerce offers a wide range of benefits that can help your business grow. Here are some of the most significant advantages:
1. Increased traffic and conversions: Engaging content, ads, and deep linking drive users to product pages, reducing drop-offs. This is particularly important given the average cart abandonment rate of 70.19%. For instance, offering incentives like free shipping can motivate online shoppers.
2. Higher ROI through social selling: Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook offer the highest ROI for social selling. Features such as shoppable posts, live shopping events, and influencer collaborations enable brands to monetize their social presence effectively.
3. Personalized marketing: Tailored content, loyalty programs, and targeted promotions enhance customer retention. For instance, according to eMarteker, features such asloyalty programs (63.4%) and exclusive offers (62.5%) are considered the most valuable to US consumers.
4. Reduced cart abandonment: Social media can help address common reasons for cart abandonment, such as unexpected costs (47%) and forced account creation (25%) (Forbes). This valuable data can reduce friction in the buying process and encourage customers to complete their purchases.
5. Building brand loyalty: Social media enables brands to engage with their audience on a deeper level. Through interactive content, user-generated posts, and community-building efforts, businesses can build long-term relationships with their customers.
