Who should stay vs switch

Stay with Stan Store if

  • Your revenue is courses, coaching, or memberships sold from one store URL
  • You already run Stan funnels and email sequences
  • Social bio traffic converts better than description-link traffic for you

Switch to GoloLink if

  • Affiliate and gear links in descriptions are your main monetization layer
  • You need a free plan to test per-video attribution before paying for a store
  • You want Smart Links routing without replacing your entire checkout stack

How to switch from Stan Store

No automated import — most creators scan their channel, recreate active links, and swap URLs gradually.

  1. List the Stan Store links you still use

    Export or copy the destinations (and click totals if you want a baseline) from Stan Store. Focus on links that still appear in video descriptions, bios, or Smart Pick-style pages.

  2. Scan your YouTube channel in GoloLink

    Paste your channel URL on the homepage - GoloLink finds product and affiliate links already in your descriptions so you are not starting from a blank sheet.

  3. Recreate active links and tag each to a video

    There is no automated one-click import today. Recreate the links you still need, tag each placement to the upload it lives in, and use custom aliases where branding matters.

  4. Swap URLs gradually and keep both running

    Update live and upcoming videos first. Keep Stan Store links alive on old uploads until you have swapped every reference - nothing breaks on signup day.

Frequently asked questions

Stan is generally a paid creator storefront (around $29/month for Creator)—not a free link tracker. GoloLink offers a free attribution plan for YouTube description links.
