Social Snowball allows you to shorten affiliate links, making them easier to remember and share. You can shorten affiliate links at the program level in Social Snowball.

These links can be shortened in either of the following formats:

yourwebsite.com/<affiliate code>
snwbl.io/brand/affiliatecode 

To shorten affiliate links, head to the Programs tab in your dashboard and click on the program containing the affiliate links you wish to shorten.

From the program builder page, open the ATTRIBUTION & DISCOUNTS tab.

Next, scroll down to the Shorten Links section, toggle it on, and choose your preferred Short Link Format.

Make sure to hit Save & Exit to save your changes.

Now, all existing and future affiliate links in this program will be shortened in either of the following formats, depending on your format preference:

yourwebsite.com/<affiliate code>
snwbl.io/brand/affiliatecode

NOTE:
