Everything you need to know to create your UniLink account, pick a username, choose a plan, and start building your link-in-bio page today.
Creating a UniLink account is the first step toward having a single link that holds everything — your social profiles, store, booking page, content, and more. Whether you are a creator, small business owner, or freelancer, the sign-up flow is the same and takes almost no time. This guide walks you through every screen so you know exactly what to expect.
What the Sign-Up Process Covers
The sign-up flow has four stages: account creation, email verification, username selection, and plan selection. Each stage is a single screen with one or two actions. You do not need a credit card to create a free account.
UniLink supports three ways to create an account: email and password, Google sign-in, and Apple sign-in. All three land you in the same dashboard with the same features. If you use Google or Apple, you skip setting a password entirely — your identity is managed by whichever provider you choose.
After you finish sign-up, UniLink shows you an onboarding checklist inside the dashboard. The checklist prompts you to add your first block, upload a profile photo, customize your page colors, and connect a social account. None of these steps are required immediately, but completing them typically doubles how long visitors stay on your page.
How to Get Started
- Open the sign-up page — Go to unil.ink/signup in any browser. You can also reach it by clicking "Sign Up Free" on the UniLink homepage.
- Choose your sign-up method — Select "Continue with Google", "Continue with Apple", or fill in the email and password fields manually. Google and Apple sign-in open a separate pop-up from the respective provider.
- Enter your details — If using email, type your email address and choose a password (minimum eight characters). UniLink does not send your password anywhere — it is hashed before storage.
- Check your inbox for a verification email — UniLink sends a confirmation email within one minute. Click the "Verify Email" button inside it. This is required before you can publish your page or use advanced features.
- Pick your username — Your username becomes your public URL:
unil.ink/username. It must be 3–30 characters, letters and numbers only (hyphens allowed). Choose carefully — you can change it later but your old URL will stop working. - Select a plan — The Free plan is available immediately with no card required. Paid plans (Pro, Business) unlock custom domains, analytics exports, email campaigns, and more. You can upgrade any time from the dashboard.
- Reach the dashboard — After plan selection you land in the UniLink dashboard. The onboarding checklist appears at the top. Click "Add your first block" to start building your page.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Navigate to unil.ink/signup — Bookmark this URL. If you already have an account you will be redirected to the login page automatically.
- Click "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Apple" for the fastest setup — UniLink reads your name and profile photo from the provider, so your display name is pre-filled. You still need to pick a username.
- If using email/password, use a real email address — A disposable address will block email verification. You will not be able to send email campaigns or recover your account without a valid email.
- Open the verification email within 24 hours — The verification link expires after 24 hours. If it expires, log in and resend it from Settings → Account → Resend verification.
- Type your intended username before clicking "Check availability" — The username field checks availability in real time. A green checkmark means the username is free. If your preferred username is taken, try adding your niche or location (e.g.,
maria-fitnessinstead ofmaria). - Start with the Free plan if you are unsure — Every paid feature is visible in the dashboard so you can see exactly what you would unlock before paying. There is no time limit on the free plan.
- Complete at least three items on the onboarding checklist — Adding a profile photo, a bio, and one link block is enough to make your page useful to share. UniLink tracks checklist completion and unlocks a welcome bonus for finishing all items.
Key Settings Explained
| Setting | What it controls | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Username | Your public URL at unil.ink/username | Use your real name or brand name. Keep it short and memorable. |
| Email address | Login, notifications, password recovery, and email campaigns | Use a permanent business or personal email, not a temporary one. |
| Password | Protects your account (email sign-up only) | At least 12 characters. Use a password manager to generate it. |
| Sign-in method | Whether you log in with email/password, Google, or Apple | Stick to one method. You can link a second method later in Security settings. |
| Plan | Which features are available to you | Start free, upgrade when you hit a feature limit that matters for your goals. |
How to Get the Most Out of It
Once you have an account, the most impactful thing you can do in the first session is complete the onboarding checklist. Users who finish all five checklist items within the first 24 hours are significantly more likely to still be using UniLink 30 days later — not because the checklist is magic, but because completing it means your page is actually ready to share.
Add your most-visited social links first, then layer in deeper content blocks like your store, booking link, or newsletter sign-up. The order of blocks on your page is fully draggable, so there is no penalty for experimenting with layout early on.
If you created your account with Google or Apple, go to Settings → Security and add a recovery email. If you ever lose access to your Google or Apple account, this backup email is the only way to recover your UniLink login without contacting support.
Enable email notifications in Settings → Notifications so you receive alerts when someone purchases from your store, books an appointment, or subscribes to your list. Staying informed early helps you respond to your first followers quickly, which sets a good foundation for audience relationships.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Verification email not received | Email in spam folder or typo in address | Check spam. If the address is wrong, go to Settings → Account → Change Email, then resend verification. |
| Username already taken | Another user registered it first | Try a variation: add your niche, city, or a number. Avoid underscores — hyphens work better for URLs. |
| Google sign-in pop-up blocked | Browser pop-up blocker is active | Allow pop-ups from unil.ink in your browser settings, then try again. |
| Page not building after sign-up | Email not verified, blocking publish | Verify your email first. You can still edit your page, but it will not go live until verification is complete. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is UniLink free to sign up?
Yes. Creating an account and using the Free plan costs nothing. There is no trial period — the free plan is permanent. Paid features require a subscription, but you can start building immediately without a credit card.
Can I change my username after signing up?
Yes, from Settings → Account → Username. However, your old URL stops working immediately after the change and there is no automatic redirect. Tell your audience about the new URL if you change it.
What happens if I sign up with Google and later want to use email/password?
Go to Settings → Security → Linked Accounts. You can add email/password as a second sign-in method. Your Google login remains active alongside it.
How long does email verification take?
The verification email typically arrives within one minute. If it has not appeared after five minutes, check your spam folder. You can also request a new one from Settings → Account.
Can I have more than one UniLink account?
Yes, but each account requires a unique email address. Many users create separate accounts for a personal brand and a business. You can switch between accounts by logging out and logging back in, or by using different browsers.
