Link Generation
Tracking links are how Affilync attributes clicks and conversions to you. Every link is unique to your account and the campaign.
Create a Single Link
- Go to Links > New Link or click Generate Link on any active campaign.
- Configure the link:
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign | The campaign this link is for | Yes |
| Landing page | Override the default URL (if the brand allows) | No |
| Sub-ID 1 | Custom tag for your tracking (e.g., "blog-header") | No |
| Sub-ID 2 | Additional tag (e.g., "march-2026") | No |
| Sub-ID 3 | Third-level tag | No |
- Click Generate. Your link appears in this format:
https://track.affilync.com/c/abc123?sid1=blog-header&sid2=march-2026
Short Links
Every tracking link has an auto-generated short version:

Short links are ideal for social media, SMS, and anywhere character count matters. Copy the short link from the link detail page.
QR Codes
Generate a QR code for any tracking link:
- Go to Links > [Your Link].
- Click the QR Code tab.
- Customize: size (128-1024px), color, logo overlay.
- Download as PNG or SVG.
QR codes are perfect for print materials, event handouts, and video overlays.
Bulk Link Generation
Create hundreds of links at once:
- Go to Links > Bulk Generate.
- Download the CSV template.
- Fill in rows with campaign ID, landing page, and sub-IDs.
- Upload the completed CSV.
- Affilync generates all links and returns a downloadable CSV with the results.
Example CSV template:
campaign_id,landing_page,sub_id_1,sub_id_2
camp_abc123,,blog,march
camp_abc123,,email,welcome-series
camp_def456,https://brand.com/spring-sale,facebook,ad-3
Link Management
View and manage all your links at Links > My Links:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Link | Shortened URL with copy button |
| Campaign | Associated campaign name |
| Clicks | Total and unique click count |
| Conversions | Attributed conversions |
| EPC | Earnings per click for this link |
