Bitly links FAQ

Can affiliates shorten their referral links themselves?

In GoAffPro, only the merchant can shorten the affiliate's referral link. Your affiliates can shorten their referral links using their own Bitly account.

If your affiliates decide to shorten their referral link using Bitly, the referral link tracking will still work.

How to direct Bitly links to a different page of my store?

To direct Bitly links to another page of your store, reset the existing Bitly links of affiliates and shorten them again.

It is recommended that you set up which page you want the referral links to open before integrating Bitly.
