How can render shortened affiliate URL like bitly

Hi,

Please advice How can render shortened affiliate URL like bitly.

The destination is landing page.(it is not home page)
I was set to enclose URL with \[affiliate_url\] as below;
\[affiliates_url\]http://example.com/landing\[/affiliates_url\]
It would become a very long URL also because it is enabled MD5 encording.
I want to provide a URL as short as possible to affiliate.

Do you know something good solution without program customization?

Thank you

    Hi Masayuki,

    One possibility is to use the “Get Shortlink” option that WordPress provides OOTB. You can see that button right beside the Permalink just below the title of the post when you edit it.

    Another option would be to use a URL shortener after the URL which has the affiliate ID appended, but that would be the affiliate who needs to use it once they have the link.

    Would that help?

      Hi,

      I recognized that it is quite difficult to resolve.

      Thank you

        True, do you think using an integration with AddThis would help? Affiliates Share could be an easy solution if they’re supposed to share directly from the page.

          Uh, huh. It is interesting. I’ll make sure in detail.

          Thank you
