| Hello,
I set up an Instagram page yesterday and put link to my store. I tested the
link and it worked great. Today I clicked on it again and now its taking me
to a Store Not Found Page. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, is there
a fix.

There's at least 2 and if I remember well one with the store ID...
https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=cweir1969
https://store.bricklink.com/cweir1969?p=cweir1969
If you could afford to buy a domain name, you'd have for example
https://www.cweir1969.com
... and make it redirected to your shop!
This way you can post your https://www.cweir1969.com - which is shorter and sexier
than to post the BrickLink URL to your shop.
We did this with www.1001bricks.com

When I click on the links in Bricklink they work. When I go to my instagram
page the exact same links take me to the Store Not Found page.

Are you sure you (or Instagram) didn’t add a character to the URLs? (Punctuation,
space…)

Okay, but what’s the URL in Instagram like?
Instead of clicking it, right-click on it and select ‘copy link’ in the context
meun. Then paste it here so we can check it.

Ah, of course, they encapsulate the link so they can track everything… *sigh*.

Yes, the BL link is untouched (though base64-encoded) inside. So it seems it’s
a problem with Instagram.
My guess (I don’t use Instagram) is that they have JavaScript around links (to
track you even more…), so that it’s not a simple HTML link (as it is when you
paste the URL here), and their JS’s interferring with the link.

You can test if this will work while using a simple domain, like put https://www.google.com
and see if it works.
If so and if you can afford it, do the domain thing I talked about, upper.

A topic beyond my understand. But by any chance, does the referral ID apply here?

Hallelujah! That seems to work!
Thanks!
