Frequently asked questions
Can't find what you're looking for?
How do I get started with Shortstack?
Create a free account, then shorten your first link from the dashboard or straight from this page. No credit card is needed for the free plan.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Add a custom domain to your workspace, point the DNS records we give you, and every link you make on it is issued a free SSL certificate.
What analytics are available?
Clicks over time, countries, device classes, and referrer domains. Reports are live, and raw identifiers such as IP addresses are never stored.
Is there an API available?
Yes. A REST API covers links, folders, and imports, with token auth and webhooks for bulk workflows.
How secure are my links?
Every link is served over HTTPS, destinations are validated before they are stored, and sessions use opaque hashed tokens.
What's included in the free plan?
Up to 1,000 branded links, custom domains, QR codes, analytics, and API access — enough for individuals and small teams.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like. There are no long-term contracts or hidden fees.
Is Shortstack a free URL shortener?
Yes. You can shorten links with no account at all, and the free plan keeps working indefinitely for up to 1,000 branded links.
What link analytics are kept?
Only what a report needs: link, day, coarse country, referrer domain, and device class. IP addresses, user agents, and exact timestamps are discarded.
