Short Links for Affiliate Links
Turn long, ugly affiliate URLs into clean trackable links — more clicks, better data, same commissions.
Affiliate URLs are notorious for being long, trust-destroying strings of parameters. A Qrinly short link replaces them with a clean URL that your audience actually clicks. A saved managed short link can report click volume, device type, country, and referrer — giving you independent data to understand which content drives affiliate revenue, separate from your network's reported figures.
Why Shorten Affiliate Links
More Clicks, Same Commission
Clean short links get significantly higher click-through rates than raw affiliate URLs. The commission on the other side is unchanged.
Independent Click Tracking
Verify your network's click counts against Qrinly's data. If there's a significant gap, investigate tracking discrepancies before you lose commission.
Avoid Link Rot
If an affiliate program changes or expires, redirect the short link to a replacement offer — every old post, video, and email still drives revenue.
Platform Safe
Qrinly short links don't contain affiliate network domains that social platforms sometimes flag. Always test on each platform before publishing.
How Affiliates Use Short Links
Blog Posts & Reviews
Replace raw affiliate URLs in blog post CTAs and comparison tables with short links. They look cleaner, build trust, and are less likely to be blocked by ad blockers.
Social Media Posts
Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X limit link placement. Short affiliate links fit cleanly in bios, story stickers, and tweet text without truncation.
YouTube Descriptions
Video descriptions with 10+ affiliate links become wall-of-text nightmares. Short, labelled links look professional and track which products your audience actually clicks.
Email Newsletters
Branded short affiliate links in newsletters look legitimate and are less likely to trigger spam filters than long parameter-heavy redirect URLs.
How it works

Copy your affiliate URL
Get the affiliate link from your network dashboard — it can be any length, with any tracking parameters. Paste it in the short link generator above.

Create the short link
Qrinly generates a clean short link. On paid plans, set a custom slug that describes the product — e.g. qr.ly/best-camera.

Replace raw links in your content
Swap the full affiliate URL in your blog, video description, bio, and emails with the Qrinly short link. The commission redirect still works — the link is just cleaner.

Monitor and manage
Track click volume per affiliate link in your Qrinly dashboard. If an offer expires, redirect the short link to a live alternative instantly.
