Track the actions you care about

A conversion is whatever your business counts: a signup, a lead, a purchase, etc.

Record a conversion when a visitor reaches a page like /thank-you

Send an event from your code for steps without their own page, like a signup in a modal

Track Add to cart, Checkout and Purchase on Shopify without writing code, with more platforms on the way

Test every event before launch so test visits stay out of your reports

Watch conversions arrive in real time

Each conversion appears as a row the moment it happens

See the event, source, country, device and time for every conversion

Open a visitor's activity to follow the path from click or scan to signup

Check a launch in the first hour instead of waiting for tomorrow's totals

Built for the way you share links

Ecommerce

Your store shows the orders, but not which post, email or QR code brought them. Connect your store to ShortPen and every order is credited on the link that sent the shopper.

SaaS

Signups pile up, and nobody can say which channel sent them. Record a signup on your welcome page or from your app, and compare signup rates link by link.

Agencies

Clients want results, and click counts don't prove much. Give each client a workspace and send a read-only report with clicks and conversions side by side.

Creators

Brands ask what your audience did after the click, and you only have click counts. Show the signups and sales each of your links produced.

Events

Printed materials go out, and you never learn which ones brought registrations. Put a QR code on each badge, banner or flyer and see the registrations behind every scan.

Local businesses

Flyers, menus and packaging get scanned, but you can't tell if the scans turn into customers. Track the bookings and orders that follow each scan, and change where a printed code points without reprinting.
