# Default affiliate link

When an affiliate signs up for your program through BixGrow, a default affiliate link is automatically generated. This link is unique to each affiliate and is usually based on the main URL of your store, with a tracking parameter appended to it.

## How to customize Default affiliate link?

By default, this link points to the homepage of your store. However, you can customize it so that all affiliate links direct to a specific product or collection page. This is especially useful if you want to focus your affiliate efforts on promoting particular products or categories.

You have two options to customize your affiliates’ default affiliate links: 

### Customize Default affiliate links for all affiliates

To update the default affiliate link for all affiliates in your program, go to **Program > Edit > Settings > Update the Default affiliate link**

### Customize Default affiliate link for each affiliate individually

By default, affiliate links are relatively long. To make them shorter and more suitable for social media sharing, you can manually edit the link directly in the affiliate’s profile. Go to **Affiliates > Select the Affiliate > Shorten link**

Then, fill in the path you want for the shortened link (for example, the affiliate's name) and click **Save**.

Now your affiliate has a personalized link with their name, making it easier for customers to recognize.
