Shortening your booking link

To shorten your booking link for your facility or for individual services, you could use Bitly to achieve this! On a free plan, Bit.ly will allow you to create 12 shortened links per month.

1. In your Bitly account, click the blue "Create new" button in the top left corner and select "Link" from the drop down menu.

   

2. Copy the Swift URL that you wish to shorten and paste it into the "Destination" box at the top of the screen.

   

3. Give your link a title with the "Title" box just below the "Destination" box.

   

4. If you wish, you can add a custom back-half to your shortened link. We recommend that if you choose to use it, you use it for service descriptions or something similar. Just a heads up, with the free version of Bit.ly, you can only create 5 back-halves per month.

   

5. Click the blue "Create" button in the bottom right corner of your screen. This will send you to a different page, where you will be able to view the link that you just created.

   

6. Test out your link by copy and pasting it into your browser to ensure that it redirects to the correct place. Now you've managed to successfully shorten your Swift links!
