- FixedFixed query parameters with special characters (like %20 ) being changed on their way to the target URL.
- FixedFixed links with non-Latin slugs (for example Cyrillic or Chinese) not resolving.
- FixedFixed language-prefixed links (for example /nl/go/example with WPML) all going to the same target.
What it does
Affiliate URLs are often long and messy, which makes them awkward to share in social posts, emails, text messages or podcast notes. This plugin lets you replace them with short, branded links on your own domain. You can change where a link points later without editing every post that uses it, so a campaign keeps working when an offer or target page changes. Keywords in your content can also be turned into affiliate links automatically, which saves manual linking across older posts.
Everything runs inside WordPress, in a central dashboard where you create, organize and monitor links. Click tracking and reporting show how links perform and which sources send traffic, with an extended tracking mode that adds details such as country lookups. A broken links finder flags dead targets, product display layouts present affiliate items on your pages, and QR codes connect your links to print or offline use. PrettyPay adds Stripe-powered checkout links for selling your own products.
Best for
- Affiliate marketers managing many partner links
- Bloggers and content creators sharing links across channels

Questions about Pretty Links Super Affiliate Edition
Can I change where a link goes after I have shared it?
Yes. The plugin uses dynamic redirects, so you edit the target URL in the dashboard and the short link keeps working. Every post, email or social update that uses that link will send visitors to the new destination.
Does it work with multilingual sites using WPML?
The plugin handles language-prefixed links, such as a link under a /nl/ path on a WPML site, sending each one to its own target. It also resolves links with non-Latin slugs, including Cyrillic or Chinese characters.
What click data does it collect about visitors?
Normal tracking records clicks and traffic sources. Country lookups for clicks only happen in Extended tracking mode, so in normal mode visitor IP addresses are not sent to a geolocation service. You can choose the level that suits your site.
Can I sell my own products with it?
Yes, through PrettyPay. It lets you create branded checkout links powered by Stripe, so you can sell products directly with a link you share in posts, emails or social media.
