Linkora - Link in Bio & URL Shortener SaaS (Bio Pages, QR Codes, Analytics, Custom Domains) - Laravel 13

Linkora - your own link-in-bio and URL shortener website

Linkora is a complete link-in-bio and URL shortener platform for one website. Your members build bio pages with a live editor and eight themes, shorten links with a custom alias, UTM tags, a password, an expiry date or a click limit, design QR codes with their logo and follow every click in clear analytics - countries, cities, devices, browsers, operating systems and referrers. Business members connect their own domains. You earn from Free / Pro / Business plans paid per month or per year with six payment options.

Built on Laravel 13 (PHP 8.3+) with a browser installer - the vendor folder is included, no Composer, Node.js or SSH needed. Light theme by default with a full dark theme; every colour, text, price and limit is editable in the admin.

Bio pages with a live editor

• Drag to reorder, show / hide, drafts and publish, a live phone preview
• Eight themes with matching dark versions, backgrounds, button styles, colours, fonts and avatar shapes
• SEO title and description, share image, sensitive-content warning, badge on the Free plan

Short links with full control

• Random code or custom alias, title and tags, enable / disable, copy, stats and QR in one row
• UTM builder with the live result
• Password protection, an expiry date or a click limit, with an optional address for afterwards
• 301 or 302 redirects, reserved names, CSV import and export on Business

QR code designer

QR codes for a short link, a bio page or any address with dot, corner and background colours, dot and corner styles, a logo in the middle, size, and PNG / SVG download. Saved designs show their scans, and every scan is counted in the link's analytics.

Analytics members can act on

• Total vs unique clicks over time with the best day marked
• Countries with flags, cities, devices, browsers, operating systems and referrers with unique visitors
• 7 days to 12 months or custom dates, day / week, chart or table, CSV export on Business
• Bots and link previews are not counted; no IP address is stored

Custom domains

Business members add their own domain, create the CNAME and TXT records shown and Linkora verifies the DNS every 10 minutes. Each domain chooses what its root opens and what unknown codes show.

Plans and payments - no auto-renew

• Free, Pro and Business for a month or a year - every price, limit and feature switch is editable
• Reminders with a pay link before the period ends, then a grace period
• Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, PayHere, Razorpay and bank transfer with receipt upload and approval
• Verified on the server, signed webhooks that fail closed, US sales tax by state and invoices

One admin panel

Dashboard with members, paid plans, revenue, links, clicks and reports; users, links & pages moderation, plans, payments, gateways, settings, website content, languages with auto-translate, e-mail templates, SEO & AdSense, staff roles (owner, admin, support), activity log, backups, demo mode and update upload.

Link safety built in

• Blocked domains and keywords checked on every new or edited link (starter list included)
• Optional Google Safe Browsing check in the background
• Abuse reports from a public form and every bio page, with one-click actions
• A safe-redirect warning page with a countdown for flagged links

What you get

• The complete script with the vendor folder and browser installer (MySQL / MariaDB or SQLite)
• Optional demo data: Maya Brooks, a food creator in Austin, with her bio pages, 214 short links and a year of clicks, Harbor Coffee Co. on its own domain, about 6,200 members and twelve months of payments
• Illustrated HTML documentation with screenshots of both themes

Good to know

• One installation is one website: members share your domain and can connect their own on Business. No team workspaces and no public API.
• Plans are period-based: one payment buys one month or one year, and nothing is charged automatically. Online payments need your own merchant accounts.
• Custom domains need DNS records from the member and an SSL certificate on your hosting for each domain.
• City statistics use a free GeoLite2 / DB-IP city file you upload, or Cloudflare's location headers.
• English is bundled; other languages are added in the admin.
• The demo people, businesses, links and numbers are sample content.

Install

1. Create an empty MySQL / MariaDB database and user in your hosting panel and select PHP 8.3 or newer.
2. Upload the linkora folder and point your domain to its public folder - or upload its contents straight into public_html (with the hidden .htaccess files).
3. Open your-domain.com: the browser installer checks the server, asks for the database and creates your site and owner account (demo data optional, imported in short steps so shared hosts do not time out).
4. Sign in at /login, check the plans and prices, switch on your payment gateways, set up SMTP and the link safety settings.
5. Add the cron job * * * * * cd /path/to/linkora && php artisan schedule:run for click statistics, domain and link checks, reminders, retention and backups.

Updates

1. Back up, upload the update zip in Admin › Update (or copy the new files over the old ones; .env, storage and public/uploads are kept), then click Run update - your data is kept.

The illustrated guide (cPanel, VPS / Nginx, Windows and Task Scheduler, the installer, cron, plans and payments with webhooks, custom domains, city statistics, languages, demo mode, troubleshooting) is in documentation/index.html and online at https://linkora.anowhosting.com/codester/docs/index.html.
