Clicks are not the point. The sale is.
Every shortener can tell you a link was clicked. Trace keeps the click ID with the visitor through the sign-up and the checkout, so the number you report is the money, not the traffic.

It starts with a link
Branded short links with everything attached: custom previews, device and country routing, split tests, and deep links that survive the app store.
Explore Links- Your domain
- Point a subdomain at Trace in one DNS record. Links on your own brand get clicked more than links on someone else's.
- Routing rules
- Send iOS to the App Store, the EU to the EU pricing page, and everyone else to the default — from one link.
- Custom previews
- Set the title, description and image per link, so the same page can land differently in every channel.
We had four dashboards that each reported a different number. Trace gave us one, and it happened to be the one finance already had.

Measure the money, not the traffic
Trace keeps the click ID with the visitor from the first hop to the payment, so every source is reported in revenue and every renewal still points at the link that started it.
Explore Attribution| Source | Clicks | Sign-ups | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newsletter | 4,812 | 612 | $21,480 |
| Partners | 3,190 | 348 | $14,220 |
| Product Hunt | 2,974 | 121 | $7,940 |
| Podcast reads | 1,505 | 57 | $4,970 |
- Click to close
- The click ID rides the visitor through sign-up and checkout, so revenue lands against the link that earned it.
- Server-side events
- Post the sale from your backend. No pixel to block, no ad blocker to lose the number to.
- Cohorts that hold
- Every sale keeps its first-touch link for the life of the account, so renewals report against it too.
The first week told us a podcast we nearly cancelled was our second best channel. It paid for the year in a day.

- An embedded dashboard
- Drop the partner view straight into your own app, on your own domain, with two lines of code.
It already speaks to your stack
Trace writes the click ID into the tools you bill, support and report from — so attribution shows up where the argument actually happens.

Two people run growth here. Trace is the reason we can argue about strategy instead of about whose export is right.

We put a link in a printed magazine, of all things, and could still tell you what it earned us by Friday.
