- Your profile & sharing
Your profile is one public page for who you are and the hubs you’ve made public—a Linktree-style presence tied to real hubs. This guide covers setup, sharing, the verified badge, and how profile relates to Explore.
Primary action: Open your profile → copy your profile link.
What your profile is
One public page: who you are + hubs you’ve made public. It’s presence tied to real work—not a social feed.
Overview: Features: Profiles.
Open & share your profile
- URL pattern:
https://app.kahana.io/profile/{yourUserId}. - Share that link on social, bio, email, or Linktree.
- Guests can view without an account.
What appears on your profile
- Avatar, optional background, name, bio / tagline.
- Social and custom links.
- Your public hubs (views / paid cues as the product shows).
How to edit
- Open profile settings (
/profile/:userId/settingsand related settings in the app). - Add a profile photo early—it’s required for Explore listing readiness on hubs.
- Fill bio, links, and background as you want them to look when someone lands from a shared link.
Verified badge
- Shown when Stripe Connect is charge-ready (
charges_enabled). Completing Connect / monetization setup is the path. - Product or FAQ copy may mention Stripe Identity as part of Connect verification—the badge you see for sellers is tied to being able to take charges.
- Trust signal on profile / paywall—not an Explore ranking boost.

Profile vs Explore
- Explore = browse and search the marketplace.
- Profile = your catalog landing page (often strong for direct traffic).
- Keep both: list hubs on Explore and share your profile.
Sharing tips
- Lead with your profile for “everything I make.”
- Share a specific hub link when promoting one product.
- OG / social preview uses profile or hub meta when shared.
Buyers also find creators via Following (/following) and saved hubs (/saved) after they engage in the app.
Quick facts

/profile/:userId(public). - Guest access: yes.
