Creating Custom Referral Links – PartnerStack

When you join a program on PartnerStack, you are automatically assigned a default referral link that you can share with your potential customers.

To learn more about how this link works, check out our guide How Link Tracking Works.

However, you may wish to create a custom referral link. Custom links can have your company name or social media handle in it, can link to specific pages on the company you partner with websites, and can help increase conversion rates.

Create a Custom Referral Link

Follow these steps to create a custom referral link:

Login to your account
Click Switch Program in the top left-hand side of your account (note: If you're only partnered with one program, you can skip this step!):
Select the program you are wanting to create a custom referral link for
In the menu on the left-hand side, select "Links"
In the field where it says "Your custom referral link" enter what you want to show in your referral link after "companyname.grsm.io/".

For example, if your default referral link is something like "companyname.grsm.io/firstnamelastname" and you want it to contain your social media handle instead, you'd want to enter your social media handle only in that field.

Please note that custom links can only contain numbers, letters, and dashes. They cannot contain any special characters such as question marks.

It should look something like this:

6. (Optional) Add in a destination URL in the "Redirects to (optional)" field.

Keep in mind that, for tracking purposes, it is important that the customer lands on the company you are partnered with website. However, you can choose that the customer land on a specific page or product on that website, if you desire!

You can have it land on a blog page, but keep in mind that signups may not track from here unless you also have another referral link embedded in your blog page for them click on.

7. Click "Create"

Common Questions

Why is the "Create" button greyed out when trying to create my link? I've followed all of your steps!

The most common reasons this would happen include:

The full link (https:// partnerstack.com/JedD) was inputted into the "My Referral Link" field, when only "JedD" should have been inputted into that field.
The link you're trying to create already exists in your referral link list. Duplicates links can't be created
You have special characters in your link ( $, %, &, @, etc)

How many referral links can I have at a time?

Up to 50 unique referral links can be created under each Partner account

Can I edit my referral link?

At this time, links cannot be edited or updated. The best way to update or edit an existing referral link is to first delete the existing referral link you wish to edit, and then re-create the link with the updated or correct information.
