Promote Commissions

A clean flyn.to/commission link is way more memorable than ko-fi.com/yourname/commissions in stream overlays and Twitter pinned tweets.

Shop URL Branding

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shorten Ko-fi tip, shop, commission, and membership URLs?
Yes. Paste any ko-fi.com URL, main creator page, /shop for digital goods, /commissions for custom work, /tiers for monthly memberships, /gallery for portfolio, or /post for member-only content, and Flyn creates a branded short link with full click tracking.
How is this different from Ko-fi's built-in sharing?
Ko-fi doesn't offer a built-in URL shortener, creators share their full ko-fi.com/username link as-is. Flyn adds branded short URLs (flyn.to/kofi), per-channel click analytics, custom-domain support, and the ability to retarget the destination later without re-sharing anywhere.
Will the short link work with Ko-fi Stream Alerts?
Yes. Ko-fi Stream Alerts fire based on the tip event on Ko-fi's side, not the inbound URL. Whether viewers arrived via flyn.to/kofi, ko-fi.com/yourname directly, or a Twitch panel link, the alert behavior is identical, Flyn just adds the click attribution layer beforehand.
Can I track which Twitter post drove the most Ko-fi tips?
Yes. Create separate Flyn links per Twitter post (flyn.to/kofi-tw1, flyn.to/kofi-tw2) pointing at your Ko-fi page. Each link's dashboard shows clicks, geo, and device, correlate Flyn click spikes with Ko-fi tip events to identify which tweet style or visual converts best.
Does this preserve Ko-fi Gold creator features?
Yes. Ko-fi Gold features (custom pages, removed Ko-fi branding, custom domain Ko-fi) are enforced on Ko-fi's side based on creator subscription state. Flyn redirects to whatever URL you paste, including custom Ko-fi Gold URLs, so the upgraded features display exactly as they would with direct access.
Can I shorten my Ko-fi commission queue URL?
Yes. Commission queue URLs (ko-fi.com/yourname/commissions) shorten and redirect normally. Artists put flyn.to/commission in their Twitter bio and pinned tweet, the short URL stays the same across Twitter bio updates, even when your queue status (open/closed/waitlist) changes on the Ko-fi side.
Will the link open the Ko-fi app on mobile?
Ko-fi doesn't have a native mobile app, both creators and supporters use ko-fi.com responsive mobile web. Flyn redirects to the canonical ko-fi.com URL, which loads in the supporter's mobile browser with full tip and membership functionality intact.
Can I use a custom branded domain for my Ko-fi link?
Yes. Flyn Pro includes 3 custom branded domains. Use support.yourname.com or tip.yourbrand.com for a more polished tip link in YouTube descriptions, podcast outros, and Twitch panels than a generic shortener URL.
Is shortening Ko-fi URLs against their terms?
No. Ko-fi explicitly permits URL shorteners and redirected sharing, most of their own promotional flows use shorteners. Flyn uses ordinary 301/302 redirects to legitimate ko-fi.com URLs, fully compliant with Ko-fi's policies the same way Bitly and other shorteners are.
Can I generate a QR code for in-person tip jars at conventions?
Yes, every Flyn link includes a built-in QR code generator. Artists at conventions, conferences, and zine fairs print scan-to-tip QR codes on table signage, business cards, and merch tags. Update the destination Ko-fi URL later (e.g., from main tip page to a specific event campaign) without reprinting anything physical.
Does Flyn only shorten Ko-fi links?
No. Flyn is a full URL shortener that works with any link: Ko-fi, your own website, YouTube, Etsy, affiliate links, PDFs, anything with a URL. This page just shows the Ko-fi use case. Every feature here (click analytics, editable destinations, branded domains, QR codes) applies to every link you shorten.
