In LinkTaco, you have one account. Each account can own "unlimited" organizations. What is the difference between the two?

An account is what you use to login. Think of it like your email and password. This is the identity that is used to link all your data together as owned by your account.

An organization is more like a grouping of data. So all your bookmarks, listings, shorts, QR codes, custom domains, etc. all are linked to the given organization.

Organizations are also what are paid for. So when you want to upgrade to a paid organization it's done so at the organization level. Since each account can have multiple organizations this allows an account to combine both paid organizations and free organizations.

Every account can have up to two free organizations. After that if you'd like to add a new free organization you must pay for an existing organization first. This will free up a new free organization slot and you can then create your new organization.

#Difference between free and paid organizations

A free account can do pretty much everything a paid organization can do but with some limitations. Probably the biggest one is that free organizations can not save private links or notes. All free organization data is public facing. For most cases this is not a big deal but if you'd like to save private links and notes, then you should pay for your organization. It's very affordable and helps continue the development and operation of LinkTaco.

You can see all of what's included on the pricing page.

There are also two types of paid plans. There is Personal and Business. Personal plans are billed on a yearly basis and Business are billed monthly. They are similar except the Business plan has a few extra benefits that are useful for organizations with multiple users who want to collaborate.

Some of the bigger advantages of a paid organization is:

• Private bookmarks & notes
• The use of custom domains for your organization services
• Full analytics
• Collaboration with other users (Business)
• Unlimited users can be a part of the paid organization (Business)
• Integration with third parties (Slack, MatterMost, etc.) (Business)

If you would like a paid Personal account and can't afford it we are happy to sponsor accounts on case-by-case basis. Also if you're an open source project who would like to have a paid account for the project we would be happy to help. In both cases above please send an email to hello@linktaco.com and explain your situation.

#Using Bookmarks, Notes, Listings and Shorts

If you haven't seen the Getting Started page yet, this explains how to use these services. You can change which organization is currently in use by selecting the organization you want in the drop down select field in the top left corner. You must be logged in to see this.

Then just save your links as you would always do. The organization it's saved too is the one currently selected (though you can optionally change that in the various data input forms)

#Adding a new organization

Each account can have "unlimited" organizations. To add a new one you simply login to your account and do the following:

1. Click "Settings" on the left menu
2. Click the "Manage Organizations" button on the settings page.
3. Click the "Add" button on the top right.
4. Enter the data on the form. Some notes on each field here:

• Name - This is what the organization is called. This will be publicly available. For instance, it can be your name or something like "Acme Marketing Miami".
• Username - This is the slug your org will use. It will serve as it's URL slug where needed. For instance, the url "https://linktaco.com/acme-miami", has a username/slug of "acme-miami"
• Image - If you want to use an image with your organization you can add it here. Usually this is a profile photo or a logo.

1. Click the "Save" button

That's it. You now have a new organization. By default organizations are free and remember all accounts have a limit of two free organizations. So if you wish to upgrade this new organization to paid status, please follow the steps below and choose "Manage Subscription" option in the Actions menu.

#Managing your organizations

Because each organization is it's own entity with it's own settings, bookmarks, listings, etc. the settings are also grouped together by organization.

You can find and manage your organizations by doing the following:

1. Click "Settings" on the left menu
2. Click the "Manage Organizations" button on the settings page.
3. Find the organization you want in your list (if you have many there is a search box at the top of the listing page to filter your organizations).
4. Click the "Actions" button and you will have the following options in the menu:

• Manage Subscription
• Payment History
• Edit
• Export
• Import
• Domains
• Integrations
• Manage Members

1. Select the menu item you want and you will directed to that specific settings page for the organization.

Each settings page is pretty self explanatory. The options are linked to specific help pages if they exist.
