What is a Vanity URL and how can it benefit my business.
A vanity URL allows you and your business to rebrand all URLs delivered from the app to your customers. You can use this feature for your own branding or upsell it to your customers as a white-label option. For example, if you secure COKE as a client, you can offer them the ability to deliver all photos through a customized URL, such as my.coke.com, or directly from a unique URL.
How to purchase and add a Vanity URL to my account:
Purchase a vanity URL by going to your account TOOLS page and selecting "Purchase Vanity URL" The cost for each URL is $499 per year, per URL or $59/month, per URL. See image below:
