Getting started

DropLink creates shareable checkout links for your Shopify store. A buyer who clicks your link lands in a pre-filled Shopify checkout — products, quantities, subscription plans, and discounts already applied. No storefront page required.

1. Create your first link

From the DropLink dashboard in your Shopify admin, click Create link.

• Title — an internal name (e.g. "Summer sale Instagram"). Buyers never see it.
• Products — pick from your store with the native product picker.
• Selling plan — if the product has subscription plans, choose one and the link checks the buyer out as a subscriber. This works on every plan, including Free — it's the thing Shopify's own cart permalinks can't do.
• Discount code (Starter+) — auto-applied at checkout.
• UTM parameters (Starter+) — attached to the checkout for your analytics.
• Order note (Starter+) — appears on the resulting Shopify order.
• Scheduling (Starter+) — set when the link starts working and when it expires, in the timezone of your choice (your store's by default).
• Order limit (Starter+) — cap a link to a set number of completed orders; it shows a "fully claimed" page after that. Set it to 1 for a single-use or gift link.

You can also start from a past order — Create from order on the Links page prefills a link with that order's items (Starter+), ready for selling plans.

You'll get a short URL like https://go.zerglo.com/abc1234 and a downloadable QR code. On Starter and up you can brand the QR with your own colors and a center logo, and export it as a print-ready SVG.

2. Share it anywhere

The short link works wherever you can paste text: Instagram bios, email campaigns, SMS, YouTube descriptions, podcast show notes — or print the QR code on packaging, flyers, and event signage.

3. Track what happens

Every click is recorded (with the visitor's IP hashed, never stored raw). The Analytics page shows clicks and unique visitors per link; on Starter and above, orders are attributed back to the exact link that drove them, with revenue totals and conversion rates — split into subscription vs one-time so you can see which links recruit subscribers.

Link statuses

Pausing or archiving never deletes your analytics history.

Plan limits at a glance

Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and annual billing saves ~17%. Billing is handled entirely by Shopify — your subscription appears on your regular Shopify invoice, and you can change or cancel any time.
