This tool was developed initially as a Python script to help me generate affiliate links for sneaker retailers, without having to use multiple browser tabs or extensions. As an affiliate marketer, you constantly need to use browser extensions, and generating affiliate links for each region is a pain.
Users simply have to input a product link, and the tool will automatically generate affiliate links for each valid region. Using a link shortner API, the tool returns a list of short links which can be copy pasted straight into social media posts. Users can either copy one single region from the list, or they can copy the entire list of regions and use them all at once.
After the concept was validated and used daily for a long time, the tool was rewritten in React and hosted online, allowing it to be used from any device, without the need to install anything. The hosted version does not allow customization, however the internal version does, in case the app configuration needs to be changed on the fly. Another difference is that the internal version also allows for UTM parameters to be used, which is also not demonstrated in the demo version.
