Adding Venmo to your Linktree is a smart way to make it easier for people to send you payments, whether you’re a creator, small business owner, or just someone who wants to streamline their payment options. Let me walk you through the process of getting this set up properly.
Creating Your Venmo Payment Link
First things first – you’ll need to grab your unique Venmo link. The easiest way to do this is to open your Venmo app and tap on your profile. Look for your username, which typically appears as “@yourname”. Your Venmo link will be “venmo.com/yourusername”. This is the link you’ll be adding to your Linktree.
Adding Venmo to Linktree
1. Log into your Linktree account
2. Click the “Add New Link” button
3. Choose “URL Link” from the options
4. Paste your Venmo link in the URL field
5. Give it a title like “Send Money via Venmo” or “Support Me on Venmo”
Customizing Your Venmo Link
Here’s a pro tip that not everyone knows about: you can customize how your Venmo link appears on your Linktree. I recommend using Venmo’s logo colors (blue and white) to make the button instantly recognizable. In your Linktree settings, you can modify the button color to match Venmo’s signature blue (#3D95CE).
Optimizing Your Venmo Placement
From my experience helping creators optimize their Linktree profiles, I’ve found that payment links perform best when they’re positioned either at the very top or just after your most important link. Think about it – if someone’s ready to send you money, you don’t want them hunting through your entire link list to find your Venmo.
Making It Professional
If you’re using this for business purposes, consider adding a brief description under your Venmo link. Something like “Quick, secure payments accepted here!” can help build trust. Also, if you’re using Venmo for business transactions, make sure you’ve switched to a business profile in your Venmo account – it’s a requirement as of 2025 for commercial use.
Remember, while Venmo is super convenient, it’s smart to offer multiple payment options. Consider pairing your Venmo link with other payment services like PayPal or Cash App to give your audience choices. This approach has helped many of my clients increase their overall payment conversion rates by up to 30%.
Just keep an eye on your Linktree analytics to see how often people are clicking your Venmo link – this can help you determine if you need to adjust its placement or description to improve its performance.
