# Links

Links can be associated with specific resources via the `item` attribute to easily generate a URL pointing to a production-ready micro frontend.

{% hint style="info" %}
At the moment links are enabled for [orders](/core-api-reference/orders.md), [SKUs](/core-api-reference/skus.md), and [SKU lists](/core-api-reference/sku_lists.md). Other resources (e.g. markets and more) are coming soon, together with a dedicated dashboard app that will help you generate links to our hosted MFEs in a snap.
{% endhint %}

| Resource     | MFE                                                           | Description                                                                                                           |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Order**    | [Checkout](https://github.com/commercelayer/mfe-checkout)     | Generate a link to directly checkout the linked order using our hosted checkout.                                      |
| **SKU**      | [Microstore](https://github.com/commercelayer/mfe-microstore) | Generate a link to a single-product microstore website to directly sell the linked SKU using our hosted microstore.   |
| **SKU list** | [Microstore](https://github.com/commercelayer/mfe-microstore) | Generate a link to a microstore website to directly sell the SKUs in the linked SKU list using our hosted microstore. |

Besides being used by our dashboard, links can be leveraged by any custom app, provided that you build the logic (e.g. using a lambda function) to make the generated URL work. To generate a link you need to give it a meaningful name and specify the client ID and scope of the related application. The default activation time window is **1 month** starting from the time of creation, you can change it by setting the `stars_at` and `expires_at` attributes at your leisure. If you're using a custom app or need a specific format for the generated URL you can also change the second level domain by setting the `domain` attribute. Otherwise, the default `commercelayer.link` will be used, pointing to our related hosted [dashboard app](/provisioning/getting-started/applications.md).

Newly created links are enabled by default. You can disable them by passing the `_disable` trigger attribute and eventually re-enable them by passing the `_enable` trigger attribute. Disabled links are not working, even within their activation time window.

{% hint style="warning" %}
At the moment, links are maneageble using [integration](/core/api-credentials.md#integration) API credentials only.
