Guide

Getting Started

Go from zero to tracking affiliate clicks in under 10 minutes.

1

Create your account

Head to clicksdk.com/auth

Once registered you'll land on the Setup Wizard, which walks you through creating your first link, verifying a postback, and confirming a live click event.

2

Create your first short link

Navigate to Links → New Link in the sidebar. Fill in:

  • Destination URL — the affiliate offer URL you want to forward visitors to.
  • Slug — the short code after your domain (e.g. linkwi.sh/nike-offer). Leave blank for an auto-generated slug.
  • Groups & Tags — optional labels that group links for filtered analytics.

Click Save. Your link is live immediately.

3

Test the redirect

Open your short link in a browser. You should be forwarded to the destination URL within 100 ms. The click is recorded instantly — check the Logs page in the dashboard to see it appear in real time.

4

Set up a postback (optional)

If your affiliate network supports server-to-server (S2S) conversion tracking, you can configure a postback URL in the link editor under the Postback tab. See the Click Tracking & Postbacks guide for full details.

5

Explore the dashboard

The Analytics page gives you a real-time view of:

  • Clicks over time (hourly, daily, 7-day, 30-day)
  • Top links, top referrers, device breakdown
  • Geographic heatmap across 180+ countries
  • Conversion events and attributed revenue
