dub.co is a professional URL shortener service. It needs to be configured before it can be used with Shortshare.

Configuration

You need an API token in order to use your dub.co account with Shortshare. It can be obtained in the Dashboard under Settings, API Keys. After obtaining the API token, copy it to the Shortshare settings.

Branded Domain

dub.co supports branded domains for your shortened URLs. Before a branded domain can be used, it must be registered in the Project Settings under Domains. You need to set up a DNS record with your domain registrar to enable this feature. Once the domain is set up, enter it in the Shortshare settings (like a top level domain, e.g. yourdomain.com).

Custom Slugs

dub.co supports custom parameters for your shortened URLs, e.g. dub.sh/your-custom-parameter forwarding to a URL of your choice. In order to enter a custom parameter before shortening an URL with Shortshare, enable Custom Slug in the settings.

Link Cloaking

dub.co supports link cloaking for your shortened URLs, which will hide the original URL from the user. In order to use Link Cloaking with Shortshare, enable it in the settings.
