Yeah. I can't find the specific rules about linking in the Terms of
Service, but iirc, you can link to a general personal website that has
links to patreon/shop, such as linking to a tumblr where the profile has
those links. But you can't directly link to any sort of shop-like thing,
so I can't have a comment like "buy this as a PDF at payhip" (I got into
trouble for putting a free PDF on Payhip, which made me frustrated,
because I was using it as a file download manager.)
Anyway, with my Rutabaga comics, I have it that my website links to AO3,
but not vice versa. Not ideal but it is what it is.
