How to Set Up an AI Storefront for Your Link in Bio
Step-by-step guide to set up an AI storefront on your bio link — products, FAQs, Classic vs AI mode, booking, and going live on Instagram or TikTok.
You do not need a custom chatbot stack to put AI behind your bio link. You need a clear offer, a clean mobile page, and a storefront that can answer buyer questions.
This guide shows how to set up an AI storefront for your link in bio using RiceBall as the example. The same checklist works if you evaluate other tools — the steps are what matter.
Pillar overview: What is an AI link in bio storefront?
Before you start: decide what you sell
Pick one primary offer for week one. Examples:
- One digital product (template, preset, ebook)
- One paid coaching session type
- One starter course
You can add more later. A single clear offer trains both shoppers and the AI better than twelve vague buttons.
Step 1: Create your RiceBall account and claim your URL
- Sign up at RiceBall.
- Choose a handle you can put in every bio (
openmy.store/yourname). - Complete basic profile: name, avatar, short bio.
Your bio on the storefront should say what you sell in one line — “Notion templates for freelancers” beats “creator / vibe / links.”
Step 2: Add products or sessions
For each offer, fill in:
- Title shoppers understand in two seconds
- Price
- Description that answers “what’s included?”
- Who it’s for (beginner, cohort, niche)
- Cover image that reads on a phone screen
If you sell time, create session types and connect calendar + payments. Details: booking page for creators.
Step 3: Write the FAQs the AI will lean on
Open your real DMs. Copy the top questions into store FAQs:
- Pricing / refunds
- Delivery (instant download vs shipping)
- Beginner fit
- How booking works
- Support / contact
This is the difference between a clever demo and a storefront that actually closes.
Step 4: Choose Classic vs AI storefront
RiceBall supports two modes on one link:
- Classic — tap-to-buy buttons and a familiar link-in-bio shop layout
- AI — chat-style storefront that answers questions and guides to the right offer
Many creators launch on Classic to get listings live, then turn on AI once FAQs and product copy are solid. Others go AI-first if DMs are already painful.
There is no wrong order — just do not launch AI with empty descriptions.
Step 5: Connect payments
Connect Stripe (or your supported processor) so checkout is real. RiceBall’s positioning includes 0% platform transaction fees; processor fees still apply.
Test a small purchase yourself before putting the link in a viral post.
Step 6: Soft-launch, then update social bios
- Share the link with a friend and ask three tough questions in AI mode.
- Fix any wrong or vague answers by improving product copy/FAQs — not by hoping.
- Replace your Instagram / TikTok / YouTube bio URL with your RiceBall link.
- Mention the link in your next Story or pinned comment: “Ask the store which pack to buy.”
Step 7: Iterate weekly
Look at what people asked (and what they bought). Tighten:
- Titles that confuse
- Missing FAQ answers
- Offers that need a clearer “start here” product

FAQ
How long does setup take?
Most creators can get a simple digital product live in under an hour. Coaching + calendar takes longer if you sync availability carefully.
Do I need coding skills?
No. RiceBall is built for creators in a dashboard, not a custom LLM project.
Can I keep a Classic page and still use AI later?
Yes. Same URL, switch modes when you are ready.
Go live
An AI storefront only works if the catalog is clear. Do the boring setup once. Then your bio link can answer while you film the next video.
