Getting Started

Welcome to OwnLinker. This section guides you through creating an account, logging in, and getting familiar with the Orbital Hub — the central navigation experience.

Step 1 — Create Your Account

Go to Sign In and click Don't have an account? Create one. Enter your email and a password (minimum 6 characters). You can also sign in with Google for a faster setup. Once registered, your account is ready immediately — no email confirmation required.

Step 2 — Log In & The Orbital Hub

After logging in, you land on the Orbital Hub. Your avatar appears at the centre. A search bar sits above the hub. Three planets orbit around it:

  • Ask — the OwnLinker Assistant (AI chat for platform help and general questions).
  • BAG — your library, purchases, and account tools (Vault).
  • DROP ITEM — your creator dashboard (subscribe in Products to sell).

Click any planet to open that section. Click the back arrow or the section name to return to the hub.

On inner pages (Wallet, Sell, Support, Vault, and more), a compact Orb Dock replaces the full hub: a Hub button to return home, your avatar (user menu), Ask / BAG / DROP pills, product & creator search, and the cart — same actions, less space.

Step 3 — Set Up Your Profile

Click your avatar at the centre of the Orbital Hub to open the user menu. Then click Edit Profile to set your display name, username, bio, and avatar image. Your username becomes your public profile URL: OwnLinker.com/u/yourusername.

Linker (social network) requires username, display name, and profile photo before it opens. Bio and links stay optional.

Step 4 — Linker View (Optional)

Pull up the bottom drawer and open Linker to see people you follow as a circle. Pin up to 12 favorites, send DMs, and tip creators. A short tour runs on your first visit.
