FastLinkIt integrates your WordPress site with the <a href="https://flnk.it" rel="nofollow ugc">FastLinkIt</a> platform. Shorten any URL with one click from the post/page editor, auto-shorten external links on save, generate tracked QR codes, and drop in shortcodes (or native Gutenberg blocks) for payments, donations, fundraising, newsletter signups, contact forms, embeddable forms, and booking pages.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Manual URL Shortener — A sidebar meta box on every post and page lets you paste a URL, shorten it, and copy or insert the short link into your content.</li>
<li>Auto-Shorten on Save — Enable the option to automatically find and replace all external links in your post content with FastLinkIt short links when you publish or update.</li>
<li>QR Codes — <code>[flnkit_qr]</code> renders a QR code for any URL (or the current page). In tracked mode it mints a FastLinkIt short link so scans are counted, with custom colours and a one-click PNG download.</li>
<li>Native Gutenberg Blocks — Every widget is also a block: search the inserter for “FastLinkIt” to add Form, Booking, QR, Payment, Donation, Fundraiser, Subscribe and Contact blocks with a live preview and sidebar settings.</li>
<li>Payments & Donations — <code>[flnkit_pay]</code> and <code>[flnkit_donate]</code> shortcodes render Stripe/PayPal checkout buttons; <code>[flnkit_fundraise]</code> embeds a fundraising campaign with a progress bar.</li>
<li>Forms — <code>[flnkit_form]</code> embeds a hosted FastLinkIt form (every field type, validation, auto-resize) on any page or post.</li>
<li>Booking Pages — <code>[flnkit_booking]</code> embeds a planner so visitors can book appointments without leaving your site.</li>
<li>Newsletter & Contact — <code>[flnkit_subscribe]</code> adds a mailing-list signup; <code>[flnkit_contact]</code> adds a support/ticket form.</li>
<li>Bulk Contact Sync — Push your WordPress users (including WooCommerce customers) into your FastLinkIt contacts from the Contacts settings tab, matched by email and tagged for segmentation.</li>
<li>Webhooks — A signed webhook receiver fires WordPress actions for payment, contact, mailing, and form events so you can hook your own automations.</li>
<li>Plan-Aware — The plugin checks your FastLinkIt plan limits before creating each short link. If you run out of links, the remaining URLs are left unchanged and the post saves normally.</li>
<li>Short Code Prefix — Optionally prefix auto-generated short codes (e.g. <code>wp-a1b2c3</code>) to identify WordPress-generated links.</li>
<li>Connection Test — Verify your API key and connection from the settings page.</li>
<li>Works with Classic & Block Editor — The “Insert into content” button works with both Gutenberg and the classic TinyMCE editor.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>[flnkit_pay amount="9.99" currency="gbp" description="..."]</code> or <code>[flnkit_pay product_id="..."]</code> — payment button.</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_donate]</code> — donation button with custom amount.</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_fundraise]</code> — fundraising campaign widget with progress bar.</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_form shortcode="my-form"]</code> — embed a hosted form (optional <code>height</code>, <code>width</code>, <code>max_width</code>).</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_booking shortcode="my-planner"]</code> — embed a booking page (optional <code>height</code>, <code>width</code>, <code>max_width</code>).</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_qr url="https://example.com"]</code> — tracked QR code; blank <code>url</code> uses the current page (optional <code>track</code>, <code>size</code>, <code>color</code>, <code>background</code>, <code>ec</code>).</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_subscribe groups="all"]</code> — newsletter signup form.</li>
<li><code>[flnkit_contact]</code> — support/ticket submission form.</li>
</ul>
All of the above are also available as native Gutenberg blocks (search the inserter for “FastLinkIt”).

</ol>
<h3>Getting an API Key</h3>
<ol>
<li>Sign up at <a href="https://flnk.it/Account/Register" rel="nofollow ugc">flnk.it</a>.</li>

</ol>
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the FastLinkIt API to provide its functionality. By default it talks to https://flnk.it, but you can point it at a different FastLinkIt instance from the plugin settings (API URL field). FastLinkIt is the service this plugin is built to integrate with, so a connection is required for the plugin to work — URL shortening, QR codes, the Forms/Products/Contacts/Fundraising lists, the embedded payment, donation, booking, form, subscribe and contact widgets, contact syncing and support tickets all rely on it.
What data is sent, and when:
<ul>
<li>Shortening a URL (manually, automatically on save, or for a tracked QR code) — the destination URL, a generated short code and an optional title are sent so a short link can be created. Your API key, your site URL and a “wordpress” source identifier are included in the request.</li>
<li>Loading the Forms, Products, Contact Groups or Fundraising lists in the plugin admin — a request is made to list those items on your account.</li>
<li>A visitor submitting an embedded widget (contact/ticket form, newsletter subscribe, donation, payment or fundraising widget) — the information they enter (such as name, email, message or amount) is sent so the action can be processed.</li>
<li>Syncing WordPress users from the Contacts tab — the selected users’ email addresses and names are sent to create or update contacts on your account.</li>
<li>Creating an account, logging in or generating an API key from the setup wizard — the details you enter are sent to authenticate you.</li>
<li>Embedded Form and Booking widgets load the hosted page from flnk.it inside an iframe, so a visitor’s browser requests that page directly from flnk.it when they view it.</li>
</ul>
The bundled QR code library runs entirely in the browser; generating a QR image does not by itself contact any external service (though a tracked QR code creates a short link via the API as described above, and scanning one resolves through flnk.it).
This service is provided by FastLinkIt. Please review their terms and privacy policy:
