Overview & Architecture
Clean Up Massive Amazon Product & Affiliate URLs
Standard Amazon URLs often stretch over 300 characters because they bundle search keywords, session timestamps (`qid`), ranking indices (`sr`), and referral tags into the address bar.
Shortnow compresses any Amazon product page, storefront, or wishlist link into a sleek URL like `shortnow.site/studio-mic` while preserving all query parameters—and gives you real-time click analytics and a printable QR code for product inserts.
Designed for E-Commerce Sellers & Content Creators
1. Preserving Query & Attribution Tags
- Zero Parameter Loss
- Manual URL trimming can accidentally delete your `tag=` or attribution parameters.
- Exact HTTP Redirect
- Shortnow forwards the visitor to the exact original Amazon URL byte-for-byte.
2. Packaging & Insert QR Codes
- Amazon FBA Product Inserts
- Include a high-contrast QR code on product manuals linking directly to your warranty registration or store page.
- Measure Insert Conversion
- See exactly how many buyers scan your physical packaging insert via `/stats/[slug]`.
