Today we're launching eSMS Links — a URL shortener, QR code generator and click-analytics platform, built here in Africa, for teams selling and communicating across the continent.

It's the newest product in the eSMS Africa suite, alongside SMS, SMPP and eSMS Mail — and it shares the same single sign-on, so there's no new account to create.

What you can do

  • Shorten and brand links on go.esmsafrica.io, or on your own domain like go.yourbrand.com. Pick custom back-halves so links stay human.
  • Generate QR codes for any link, in your brand colours, print-ready — and every scan is tracked.
  • See real analytics: clicks and scans over time, broken down by country, city, device, browser and referrer. The map matters when a campaign lands differently in Lagos than in Nairobi.
  • Build on the API: create and resolve links programmatically, with scoped keys and a full REST reference.

Built to be fast and safe

Links resolve from an edge cache in milliseconds, on infrastructure separate from the dashboard — so a redirect never depends on the app being up. Every destination is screened for spam and malware, and links can expire or be password-protected.

Cheaper and better than the alternatives

Pricing starts at $5/month with unlimited clicks on every plan, scaling to Business ($15), Professional ($35) and Enterprise. Billing is local, via Paystack.
