How to Create Short links for your App

Short links allow you to display the link for your app (social media/website/in-store collateral) in a much neater way as opposed to using the full URL.

For example:

Full URL: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/hawker-and-roll/id1276419959?mt=8 ❌

Short Link: bit.ly/HawkerandRolliOS ✔️
