How to redirect visitors by country with one URL
A country redirect checks the visitor’s detected country, selects a matching destination, and uses a default URL when no rule matches. Lnkivo can do this without changing the link you share.
Start with a global fallback
Choose a page that works for visitors outside your target country. For a US campaign, your global storefront might be the default and your US storefront the regional destination. Keep an accessible country selector on the destination site so visitors can correct an inaccurate location.
Configure and publish
- Open the country redirect builder.
- Enter the default URL, choose the country, and enter its regional destination.
- Simulate the selected country, a different country, and an unknown country. Check each resulting destination.
- Save the setup and sign up. On return, preview the restored configuration and publish it.
- Share the resulting short URL. In the dashboard, open the link's routing rules to edit it or add destinations for more countries.
How overlapping rules work
Lnkivo evaluates rules by priority, starting with the lowest number. The first matching rule chooses the destination; the link's default destination is used if none matches. Place specific combined rules before broader country rules when both could apply.
IP location is not a visitor’s identity
Lnkivo uses country headers from the hosting proxy when available and falls back to an IP database. A VPN, privacy relay, mobile carrier or corporate gateway can place someone in a different country. Unknown country detection falls back to the default. Do not use this feature to authorize access or enforce geographic restrictions.
Test the real destinations too
The preview tests the routing decision, not whether your store loads, accepts the visitor's currency, or completes checkout. Open each destination, verify its language and offer, and test a live short link from the intended region before launching.
