Unfortunately, Rebrandly doesn't currently offer a built-in way to directly switch your links to a new domain or subdomain. However, you can achieve this manually with some technical knowledge.
Here's a step-by-step guide (note that this process requires some technical knowledge or assistance from a developer):
- Export Links: Links export is available only via API. Start by exporting your existing links from the original domain to a CSV file. You can find a script for this purpose in our developer resources: https://developers.rebrandly.com/ (look for "Export links to CSV").
- Edit the CSV File: Open the downloaded CSV file and update the "domain" field for each link. Replace the original domain name with your new domain or subdomain.
- Bulk Upload the Updated List: Once you've edited the CSV file, you can import it back into Rebrandly to create new links with your desired domain. Refer to this guide for bulk link importing: https://support.rebrandly.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011661753-How-to-Import-Links-in-Bulk

Yes, you can update the domain for all or some of your links without impacting traffic. Rebrandly's Mirroring function handles this seamlessly. It works alongside the 404 Redirect feature and dynamically redirects links when their original domain changes.
For example, if you switch your links from ACME.COM to ACDC.NET, simply set the target mirror domain. All your existing links, like acme.com/today, will automatically redirect to the new domain (acdc.net/today) without any interruption.

Yes, you can import a QR code into Rebrandly. Since a QR code corresponds to a link, you can recreate that link within the Rebrandly platform, provided you have control over the domain to generate the link.
Example: If a QR code corresponds to the link myname.com/cv, you can connect the domain to your dashboard and recreate the link that points to the desired destination. This way, the QR code will start working again, but it will be managed within the Rebrandly platform.
To streamline the management of multiple QR codes, our bulk link import tool is a convenient option.
