How to use the image grid link
The image grid is a great way to get your followers exactly where you want them. Since it looks like your Instagram feed, you can link to the different places you're promoting on Instagram and it will be easy for your followers to understand.

Select one of your items to make changes.
Enter the URL that you want to send your visitor to. On the Pro plan, you can add up to five URLs per image.
Click "Save Changes" to save the item.
Your new item will show up on your image grid.
How to add multiple URLs
With the Pro plan, you can add up to five different URLs per grid item image. Each additional URL will get a number to go onto the image. This is great for things like an image with shoppable items in it.
