# Allow affiliates to customize their own link

Give affiliates control over their own branded links in UpPromote. Turn on one setting and they can add, edit, or remove their custom link from the dashboard.

As a merchant, you can create custom links for your affiliates. However, in case you want your affiliates to freely customize their own link, UpPromote can totally help.

First, go to **Settings** > **Link & coupon** > **Custom affiliate link**, then enable **Allow affiliates to edit Custom link**.

Once this feature is activated, your affiliates can add or edit (if there's already a custom link for them) their own custom links via their affiliate account's **Dashboard.**

Affiliates can also remove the custom link they have created by clicking **Edit custom link**, leaving the box blank and saving change&#x73;**.**
