How to White-Label UniLink (Remove Branding and Use Your Own)

How to White-Label UniLink (Remove Branding and Use Your Own)
Replace all UniLink branding on your clients' pages and dashboard with your own agency logo, colors, and custom domain.
- White-labeling removes all UniLink logos and "Powered by UniLink" footers from everything your clients see.
- You can configure a custom dashboard domain so clients log in at your own URL, not app.unilink.us.
- White-label features require the Business plan for individual accounts or the Agency plan for multi-client setups.
White-labeling transforms UniLink from a platform you're reselling into a platform you appear to own. For agencies and consultants building recurring revenue around link-in-bio management, that distinction matters enormously. When a client sees your logo on the dashboard login screen, your colors inside the editor, and no mention of UniLink anywhere on their published page, they're paying for your expertise and your tool — not a visible SaaS subscription. This guide walks you through every step of the white-label configuration.
What White-Labeling Does
UniLink's white-label feature operates on two distinct layers. The first is the published page layer, which controls what visitors see when they open a client's link-in-bio page at unil.ink/username. By default, a small "Powered by UniLink" badge appears in the footer of every published page. White-labeling removes this badge completely, leaving the page looking like a standalone product with no platform attribution. You can optionally replace it with your own agency badge or leave the footer clean.
The second layer is the dashboard layer, which controls what your clients see when they log in to edit their page. This includes the login screen, the editor interface header, the loading screens, and all platform-facing emails that the system sends to clients (welcome emails, password resets, and notification emails). White-labeling this layer means replacing the UniLink logo with yours, applying your brand colors to the interface, and configuring emails to come from your domain so they appear to be from your agency rather than from UniLink.
The custom dashboard domain is the most impactful white-label feature because it changes the URL your clients visit every time they log in. Instead of app.unilink.us, clients go to a subdomain you control — typically something like app.youragency.com or manage.yourdomain.com. This requires adding a CNAME DNS record on your domain pointing to UniLink's infrastructure, and UniLink handles the SSL certificate automatically. Once configured, the URL in your client's browser bar always shows your domain, reinforcing the perception that this is your platform.
How to Get Started
- Verify your plan. White-label features require the Business plan (for individual accounts) or the Agency plan (for managing multiple clients). Go to app.unilink.us → Settings → Billing to confirm your plan. Upgrade if necessary before proceeding.
- Open White Label settings. In the Agency Dashboard, navigate to Agency Settings → White Label. This section contains all white-label configuration options in one place.
- Upload your logo. Click the logo upload area and upload a PNG or SVG of your agency logo. Recommended size is at least 200px wide with a transparent background. The logo appears on the dashboard login screen, in the editor header, and in system emails.
- Set brand colors. Enter your primary hex color code (used for buttons, links, and highlights in the interface) and your secondary color. These replace UniLink's default purple color scheme with your own palette throughout the dashboard.
- Add a CNAME record for your custom domain. In your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.), create a CNAME record pointing your desired subdomain (e.g., app.youragency.com) to the target shown in the White Label settings panel. Save the DNS record and wait for propagation — this typically takes 15 minutes to a few hours.
How to Use White-Label Settings
- Enter your custom domain in UniLink. After adding the CNAME record, return to White Label settings and enter your custom subdomain in the "Custom Dashboard Domain" field. Click "Verify" — UniLink checks that the CNAME is live and provisions an SSL certificate automatically.
- Remove "Powered by UniLink" from pages. In the White Label settings, find the "Page Footer Badge" toggle and turn it off. This removes the UniLink attribution from the footer of all pages managed under your account. Changes take effect on the next publish of each page.
- Configure branded system emails. In the White Label → Emails section, set the "From Name" to your agency name and optionally configure a custom "From Address" using your domain (requires an SPF/DKIM record setup on your email domain). Update the email templates to use your logo and brand colors.
- Preview the white-labeled dashboard. Open your custom domain URL in a private browser window to see the login screen exactly as clients will see it. Verify the logo, colors, and URL are all correct before inviting clients.
- Share the custom URL with clients. Update your onboarding documentation and welcome emails to direct clients to your custom domain URL instead of app.unilink.us. Clients who have already been invited can log in via either URL.
Key Settings
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Agency Logo | Replaces the UniLink logo on the login screen, dashboard header, and system emails | Upload a PNG with transparent background, minimum 200px wide, for crisp rendering |
| Primary Brand Color | Applies your hex color to buttons, links, and interactive elements throughout the dashboard | Use your primary brand color; ensure it has enough contrast against white backgrounds |
| Custom Dashboard Domain | Changes the login URL from app.unilink.us to your own subdomain | Always configure this — it's the most visible white-label feature and easiest to maintain |
| Page Footer Badge | Toggles the "Powered by UniLink" badge on all published client pages | Disable for a fully white-labeled experience; optionally replace with your own badge |
| Email From Name and Address | Sets the sender identity on all system emails (invites, password resets, notifications) | Set the From Name to your agency name at minimum; configure a custom From Address if possible |
Get the Most Out Of White-Labeling
White-labeling is most effective when it's consistent across every touchpoint. A client who sees your logo on the login screen but then receives a "Powered by UniLink" footer email notification has a broken brand experience. Before launching, audit every surface: login screen, dashboard header, system emails (invite, password reset, weekly digest), and the published page footer. The White Label settings panel covers all of these, but go through each one explicitly rather than assuming the toggle applies everywhere.
The custom domain is worth the five minutes of DNS setup even if your clients are technically sophisticated enough to recognize UniLink. The URL in the browser bar is the single most visible trust signal during a client's editing session. A client who sees app.youragency.com in the address bar is constantly reinforced that they're working inside your platform. This psychological framing makes it harder for clients to rationalize finding a cheaper tool, since they don't have a direct mental link between the platform and a specific SaaS price point.
Use branded emails as a relationship touchpoint. When a client receives their welcome email from "hello@youragency.com" with your logo at the top, that's an impression of your brand — not UniLink's. Make sure the email templates contain a brief, friendly message from your agency rather than the default generic text. Customizing the welcome email content to mention the client by name and reference their onboarding call takes two minutes and dramatically improves the perceived quality of your service.
If you manage clients in different industries or with very different brand aesthetics, note that white-label settings apply at the Agency level and affect all sub-accounts equally. The dashboard interface color scheme is consistent for every client login. If differentiated experiences per client are important for your business model, you would need separate agency accounts for each distinct brand experience — which is an edge case but worth knowing about before you architect a large client portfolio.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Custom domain showing SSL error after DNS setup | SSL certificate not yet provisioned or DNS not fully propagated | Wait up to 24 hours for DNS propagation; re-click "Verify" in White Label settings to trigger certificate provisioning |
| Logo appearing blurry on the login screen | Image resolution too low or JPEG compression artifacts | Upload an SVG for vector-perfect rendering, or a PNG at 2× the display size |
| "Powered by UniLink" still showing on published pages after disabling | Pages need to be republished for the change to take effect | Open each affected client page in the editor and click Publish to push the updated footer |
| System emails still showing UniLink branding | Email From Name/Address fields left at defaults in White Label → Emails section | Update the From Name and optionally the From Address in the White Label email settings panel |
- Complete removal of UniLink branding creates a fully proprietary platform experience for clients

- Branded emails make system communications look like they come from your agency, not a SaaS vendor
- SSL certificate for custom domain is provisioned automatically — no manual certificate management
- Requires Business or Agency plan — not available on Starter or Pro
- White-label settings are Agency-wide, so you can't have different branding per client
- Custom email From Address requires DNS email authentication setup (SPF/DKIM) on your domain
Frequently Asked Questions
Will clients see any UniLink branding at all after white-labeling?
If you configure all white-label settings correctly — logo, colors, custom domain, page footer badge, and email sender — clients will see no UniLink branding in any normal workflow. UniLink branding may still appear in browser tab titles or meta descriptions on certain pages; these edge cases are noted in the White Label settings panel as they're addressed in updates.
Does the custom domain affect the unil.ink/username URL for client pages?
No. The custom domain applies only to the dashboard login URL. Client pages remain at unil.ink/username or their own custom domain if you've configured that separately. These are two different settings.
Can I use a root domain instead of a subdomain for the dashboard?
The dashboard white-label requires a subdomain (e.g., app.yourdomain.com) rather than a root domain (yourdomain.com). This is a DNS technical requirement — CNAME records cannot be set on root domains. Use a subdomain like app, manage, or portal.
What happens to my custom domain if I downgrade from Agency to Pro?
The custom domain configuration is retained but becomes inactive. Clients trying to access the custom URL will receive an error until you upgrade back to a plan that supports the feature. The app.unilink.us URL always remains available as a fallback.
Can I test white-label settings without clients seeing the changes?
Yes. Changes made in White Label settings only affect the appearance of the interface — they don't affect any published pages until you explicitly republish them. You can iterate on your branding settings and preview them in a private browser window without impacting client experience.
- White-labeling removes all UniLink branding from both the dashboard interface and published client pages.
