Creating and Managing Shortlinks
Turn any long URL into a short, trackable link — with an optional QR code included.
A shortlink is a short URL that redirects to any destination you choose. Shortlinks are shareable, trackable, and updatable at any time from your dashboard.
Creating a shortlink
- From your dashboard, click 'Shortlinks' in the sidebar, then 'New Shortlink'.
- Paste the destination URL into the 'Original URL' field.
- Optionally set a custom short code (e.g. my-sale). If left blank, a random code is generated.
- Optionally set an expiry date after which the link deactivates.
- Click 'Create Shortlink'.
Updating a shortlink's destination
Open any shortlink from your dashboard and click 'Edit'. Update the destination URL and save. The change is immediate — all future visits to the short URL will go to the new destination.
Attaching a QR code to a shortlink
Every shortlink has a built-in QR code. From the shortlink detail view, click 'Download QR' to get a PNG or SVG of the QR code that encodes your short URL.
Tip: Shortlinks and dynamic QR codes are related but separate. A dynamic QR code automatically creates a shortlink as its redirect. You can also create standalone shortlinks without a physical QR code.
