About Dub
Dub combines short links, QR codes, custom domains and click analytics with a conversion-attribution engine that ties a link back to signups and revenue. An API and SDKs let developers mint links programmatically inside their own products. The core platform is open source and self-hostable.
Features
Short links on your own domain
Links run on a custom domain with folders, role-based access, expiration, cloaking, password protection, geo and device targeting, A/B tests and deep links into mobile apps.
Conversion tracking from click to revenue
Analytics go past clicks to leads and sales, with customer journey detail and lifetime value, which is what turns a link into an attribution record rather than a counter.
Customizable QR codes
Every link comes with a QR code that can carry your logo and colors, so offline campaigns are measured in the same place as everything else.
Partner and affiliate programs
An embedded referral dashboard, commission rules that can vary by partner, product or country, global payouts and 1099-NEC handling cover affiliate programs without a separate platform.
API, webhooks and SDKs in five languages
A REST API, real-time webhooks and SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP and Ruby let a product mint and track links programmatically.
Use cases
Growth marketer
Attribute signups and revenue back to individual campaign links instead of stopping the analysis at click counts.
Developer embedding links
Generate branded short links inside your own product through the API and receive events over webhooks.
Startup running an affiliate program
Give partners a referral dashboard with per-partner commissions and global payouts without adding a second vendor.
