Can I edit a vanity link?
Yes. Edit the promotion and find the links in the Trigger section in the Shareable links tab. You can edit the links and change the shareable link or the vanity link.
IMPORTANT If you change the shareable link to which the vanity link points, please note it may take a while before the vanity link starts to redirect to the new shareable link. Discount Ninja uses Shopify's navigation redirect mechanism to create Vanity URLs. Shopify's navigation redirect is based on redirects performed by DNS servers. Changes to the redirect need to propagate to all servers which can take up to 24 hours. In some cases it can take up to 48 hours.
