OWN URL SHORTENER · BRANDED LINKSShort links on YOUR domain, not someone else's.
Every deal Affiliaters converts gets auto-shortened into a branded link like deals.yourbrand.in/bA31 — the kind subscribers recognise and actually tap. Bitly and Cuttly work out of the box too. Included in every plan.
Your domain, your script,
your short links.
Point Affiliaters at the shortener script on your own domain, or connect Bitly or Cuttly instead. Every converted link is shortened through whichever one you saved.
- Own domain — host the script, add the URL and admin login, done
- Bitly and Cuttly — connect an account instead if you would rather not host anything
- One place — the shortener applies to the converter, the extension and the forwarder alike
- Swap any time — change shorteners without touching a single deal message
Same deal. Same commission. Very different link.
Four lines of tracking soup. Gets clipped mid-parameter in chat previews, looks like spam
in a forward, and tells everyone exactly nothing about who posted it. Even a generic
tinyurl.com/9xq2ab or amzn.to/3xK9dQz hides the mess — but it
carries someone else's name, not yours.
Same product, same tag=yourid-21 inside, same commission to your account — but short, clean, and carrying your brand on every forward.
Generic links leak trust. Branded links bank it.
Why branded short links win in deal channels
A deal channel lives and dies on one action: the tap. Your subscriber sees the message,
judges the link in about a second, and either taps or scrolls. A raw store URL stuffed with
ref, crid and tag parameters reads like tracking soup —
and in Telegram and WhatsApp a long URL often gets clipped mid-parameter, which looks even
worse. It screams "affiliate", not "deal".
Now put deals.yourbrand.in/bA31 next to it. Short, clean, and carrying
your name. Subscribers who tapped it yesterday recognise it today, and that
recognition compounds — every loot deal you post teaches your audience that links on your
domain are safe to hit. And when your posts get forwarded from group to group (good deals
always travel), the link keeps advertising your channel instead of some generic
shortener domain. A branded custom URL shortener is not cosmetic; it is the difference
between renting attention and owning it.
There is an ownership angle too. Links on a generic domain build someone else's brand with your traffic. Links on your own domain stay under your control — your domain, your rules, your audience.
How the own-domain shortener works inside Affiliaters
You connect your domain once during setup — the whole Affiliaters setup takes a few minutes. From then on, every link that passes through the Link Converter or the Telegram Forwarder is first tagged with your own affiliate ID, then automatically shortened on your domain. No extra step, no separate tool, no manual round trip between a converter and a shortener.
It works across every supported network — Amazon.in, Flipkart, EarnKaro, Admitad, Cuelinks, Shopsy, Myntra and more (full list on the networks page). Send a whole deal message with links from three different stores and every single one comes back tagged, shortened and branded. Because shortening sits inside the same pipeline as posting, a shared deal typically lands on all your Telegram channels, WhatsApp groups, X (Twitter), Facebook and Discord within seconds — short links already in place.
A different shortener per store, if you want one
Shortening isn't one global switch. Inside Affiliate Settings each store gets its own choice — Amazon, Flipkart, Shopsy, Myntra and a catch-all for everything else — so you can run your own domain on the deals that matter most and leave the rest on a plain short link. Deal channels asked for this: fashion drops and electronics loot don't always want the same branding, and some stores convert best through their own native short format.
Set it once and forget it. Every converted link is routed to the shortener you picked for that store, whether it came from the Link Converter, a Telegram bot, the Telegram Forwarder or the browser extension — one setting, every entry point.
Bitly, Cuttly and TinyURL work out of the box
No spare domain yet, or already invested in a Bitly setup? Bitly and Cuttly are supported out of the box — connect your account and Affiliaters shortens every converted link through it, exactly like the own-domain option. There is also TinyURL, which needs no account at all: pick it and links come back short straight away. Start there today, move to your own branded domain whenever you're ready — the rest of your automation stack doesn't change.
Included in every plan — yes, even the entry one
The own shortener is not an upsell. It ships with every plan, entry tier included — compare them on the pricing page. So even if you're running your very first Telegram channel on the entry plan, your links look as professional as the biggest channels in the game. And as with everything in Affiliaters, the commission tracks 100% to your own affiliate accounts — we take no cut, ever. Questions before you start?
