In the LTK app you can search by entering what you’re looking for in the search bar on the home page or on the rewardstyle LTK influencers page. Whether that’s a brand, item, blogger or influencer.
You can also search within curated collections on your favorite influencers LTK accounts which appear at the top of their page. To expand the collections to see all of them click ‘Browse all’ to the right of Collections.
On Instagram, search for your favorite influencers or search using hashtags and screenshot what you’re looking for to receive an email with the product details. This only works on photos where you see an LTK link in the caption.
What does LTK mean on Instagram? When you see this in an Instagram post caption or link it means the post has been LTK enabled by the person posted and you can screenshot it to get all of the details on where to shop everything from decor to clothing to travel destinations.
4. How to favorite & save in the LTK app

If any of your favorites go on sale you’ll get a notification so you don’t have to keep checking back to see if there’s been a price drop.
5. How to Shop LTK on Instagram and in the App
You can shop either from Instagram or in the LTK app. To shop instagram just screenshot the photo you want to shop and you’ll receive an email with a link to the shoppable post in LTK.
To shop within the LTK app just click on any of the products below the outfit images, decor or hotels you like which are all hyperlinked to the products.
What is LTK AKA Like To Know It?
The LTK app is a shopping discovery app that allows you to shop your favorite looks you see on social media and rewardstyle approved blogs by taking screenshots of Like To Know It enabled images.
How many outfits have you seen on Instagram and wanted but have no idea where it’s from? Shop LTK is a social shopping service that lets rewardstyle influencers on blogs and social platforms like Instagram share what they’re wearing and gives direct links to their outfits, makeup and decor.
Not all influencers can be on Like To Know It as LTK is an invitation only app ensuring users only the best content. Once you’ve downloaded the LTK app, every time you screenshot an enabled creators image you like, you’ll receive a push notification with ready-to-shop product information from the LTK influencer.
How do you know if a photo is LTK enabled on Instagram?
If a blogger or influencer has uploaded a photo to the LTK app (previously LIKEtoKNOW.it), enabled it and tagged the clothes and products etc, you can tell either from their caption or by looking for the logo in the bottom right corner. The logo will be a white or black circular logo. Not all influencers choose to use the logo so you have to check the caption for a hyperlink.
If a photo is enabled and the blogger uses the LTK LIKEtoKNOWit logo it looks like this. See the logo at the bottom right, that can be either white or black.
What happens after you screenshot a LTK photo on Instagram, facebook, etc
Once you’ve screenshot an image of an outfit, home decor or enable image, you’ll get a notification on your phone and an email when the image is ready to shop. Sometimes it’s almost instantly, other times it can take a few minutes or more.
Every time you screenshot an influencer’s enabled photo on Instagram you’ll receive an email with the shoppable link to purchase the item(s).
How do you shop blogs with Like To Know It?
I post all of my favorite cruelty-free beauty products, fashion finds and sale alerts on my LTK profile and Shop My Instagram page to make everything on the blog and IG easy to find. Most bloggers will have a:
- Dedicated Shop My Intagram page
- Shop the Blog section inside a blog post so you can shop everything they mentioned in that particular post.
- Enabled photo within the blog you can click to shop directly or carousel photos you can click to shop.
You help bloggers to be able to keep blogging and providing free content by shopping their links so they can make a small commission from their sales.
Thanks for shopping any of my links, it means the world to me as I love writing and creating content for you.
