LinkSnap – Professional URL Shortener

LinkSnap is a PHP-based URL shortening platform designed for businesses, marketers, agencies, and entrepreneurs who want to operate their own link management service.

Link management and analytics

Create short links with custom aliases and monitor click activity through analytics covering countries, cities, browsers, devices, operating systems, and referrers. Generate QR codes for shortened links and configure password protection, expiration dates, and click limits.

SaaS subscriptions and payments

LinkSnap includes a three-tier pricing structure—Free, Pro, and Business—with Stripe Checkout and Customer Portal integration for recurring subscriptions. Configure subscription products and pricing in your Stripe account.

API and email features

A RESTful API supports programmatic link creation. SMTP email integration with PHPMailer supports password resets and welcome messages.

Administration and installation

The administration panel provides user, link, and settings management. The responsive Bootstrap 5 interface includes an installation wizard, and the package includes source code and documentation according to the vendor.

Setup note: Before accepting payments, configure Stripe products, recurring prices, API keys, and webhook events. Configure SMTP and HTTPS, remove the installer after setup, and test subscription and webhook flows before launch.
