URL Shortener and QR Code Generator for E-Commerce
Clean product links, affiliate and influencer tracking, and QR codes for packaging and inserts.
E-commerce product URLs are long and full of tracking parameters, which makes them awkward to share and impossible to put on packaging. ShortifyMe turns them into clean short links, gives each marketing channel and affiliate its own trackable link, and creates QR codes for packaging and inserts, so an online store can see which channels actually drive sales.
Long Links and Unclear Attribution
A product page URL on a typical e-commerce platform is long, cluttered with variant codes, category paths, and tracking parameters. That URL is awkward in a social post, looks untrustworthy in an email, and cannot reasonably be printed on packaging or an insert. The store needs a clean version that still lands on the right product.
The deeper problem is attribution. An online store promotes products through paid ads, organic social, email, influencers, and affiliates. When a sale happens, the store needs to know which of those sent the customer. Without a separate trackable link per channel and per partner, the store is guessing which marketing is paying for itself.

How ShortifyMe Helps
Clean Product Links That Still Track
ShortifyMe turns a long product URL into a clean short link that redirects straight to the product page, preserving any tracking parameters on the destination URL. The short link is clean enough to share anywhere; the destination keeps whatever the store’s platform needs.
A Link Per Channel and Per Partner
Give paid social, email, organic posts, each influencer, and each affiliate its own short link to the same product. Every link tracks its own clicks. The store sees which channels and which partners drive traffic, instead of merging everything into one untraceable number.
QR Codes for Packaging and Inserts
A QR code on the box, the packing slip, or a thank-you insert can point a customer to a how-to video, a reorder page, a review request, or a discount on their next order. ShortifyMe QR codes carry the store’s branding and track every scan, so the store sees how much repeat engagement its packaging generates.
Recover Abandoned Carts and Drive Reorders
Short links work inside the emails and messages a store sends after a visit: an abandoned cart reminder, a reorder nudge, a post-purchase follow-up. A clean branded link looks more trustworthy than a long raw URL, which matters in an email a customer was not sure they wanted. Each link tracks its own clicks, so the store can measure which recovery messages work.
A Closer Look. Knowing Which Partners Deliver
Influencer and affiliate marketing only works if the store knows which partners produce. Suppose a store is working with a dozen influencers and a set of affiliates, all promoting the same few products. The store creates a separate short link for each partner, each pointing to the product, each with a back-half that identifies the partner clearly.
As the program runs, every partner link reports its own clicks. The store can see that three influencers drive most of the traffic while the rest barely move, and that one affiliate consistently outperforms. That tells the store where to renew, where to invest more, and where to stop spending. The branded short links also look professional in an influencer’s bio or post, which matters for a partner representing the store’s brand.
Click tracking shows traffic, not the final sale, which is recorded in the store’s own checkout. Pairing ShortifyMe click data with the store’s sales data gives the full picture: which partner drove the click, and whether that click became an order.
Which Plan Fits an Online Store
A small store testing a few channels can start on the free plan, though the 10-link monthly limit is quickly used up once a store runs a real affiliate or influencer program. Most online stores will want at least the Starter plan at $7.99/month for a custom domain, detailed analytics, editable link destinations, and API access. A store running a larger partner program, or one that wants to generate product links and QR codes programmatically from its catalog, will want Basic at $19.99/month for the higher API limit, or Premium at $49.99/month for the highest limit and 10 custom domains. Stores that create links in bulk should plan around the API request limits: 10,000 per month on Starter, 50,000 on Basic, 100,000 on Premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The short link redirects to your full product URL, including any tracking parameters on it. The destination URL is unchanged; the short link is just a clean front door to it. Always test with your specific platform setup to confirm.
Yes. Give each partner their own short link to the product. Every link tracks its own clicks, so you can see which partners drive traffic and which do not. Click tracking shows traffic; pair it with your checkout data to connect clicks to sales.
Yes. ShortifyMe QR codes can carry your store's branding and point to a how-to video, a reorder page, a review request, or a discount. Every scan is tracked. Download codes as SVG or high-resolution PNG for clean printing on boxes and inserts.
ShortifyMe offers a REST API on every paid plan, with 14 endpoints across 6 categories including link creation, QR code generation, custom domain management, and analytics. You can create links programmatically rather than one at a time. Note that the API creates links individually; there is no bulk upload endpoint, so plan around the request limits: 10,000 per month on Starter, 50,000 on Basic, 100,000 on Premium.
ShortifyMe does not currently offer a dedicated Shopify app or native store-platform integrations. It works alongside any platform: you shorten your product URLs and use the links in your marketing. Developers can use the ShortifyMe API to connect it into their own workflows.
