Mulebuy source links checklist
Use this page when you need to understand which product URL to save before opening an agent workflow, comparing QC photos, or preparing international shipping.
Link types
Keep source, agent, and store links separate.
Searchers often use these terms interchangeably. Keeping them separate makes the buying record cleaner and gives Google a clearer source-link page to index.
Agent link
The URL or pasted item record used inside a shopping agent workflow after the buyer chooses options, size, color, and quantity.
Store link
A browsable product or category page used for discovery before the buyer decides whether to continue into an agent or partner-store checkout.
Before ordering
Save enough context to verify the item later.
A source link is most useful when it is paired with item details. That record becomes the baseline for QC photos, returns, exchanges, and shipping decisions.
Save the product title, image, color, size option, seller name, and price before submitting an order.Prefer stable product URLs over screenshots or copied text-only notes.Check whether the source page shows variants, domestic shipping, seller photos, and recent availability.Keep the source link next to your QC photo notes so warehouse photos can be compared against the expected item.If the source URL changes or dies, search the product title again before paying international shipping.
Category source links
Start from a focused product lane.
Choose the category first, then save the product page and source-link details before moving into a checkout or agent flow.
