How AliExpress Portals works
AliExpress runs its affiliate program under the name Portals, and its links live on s.click.aliexpress.com. The parameters all start with aff_ and identify the publisher, the campaign and the click.
- aff_short_key is the compact form of the affiliate reference used in shared links.
- The final product URL keeps aff_trace_key so the click can be matched to a later order.
- Third-party networks such as Admitad also drive AliExpress traffic, so an AliExpress affiliate link does not always start on this domain.
The domains AliExpress Portals uses
Any of these in an address bar means the same thing. Subdomains count too: the part in front is usually an account number.

Do the aff_ parameters track me?
