Can I customize the short URL?

What is the difference between 301, 302, and 308 redirects?
A 302 redirect (default) is temporary, meaning search engines won't pass SEO authority to the destination. A 301 or 308 redirect is permanent and passes full SEO authority. Advanced users can select their preferred redirect type when shortening a link.
