TervantaPolls - Live Polls PHP Script

Pollora - Live Polls & Membership Platform

Turn a question into a shared decision. Pollora is a self-hosted PHP polling platform for communities, teams, creators, and groups. Create a poll, share its link, and watch the results update without refreshing the page. The package includes the public website, member dashboard, administration panel, and a web installer. Run it on your own hosting, customize your plans and branding, and choose how your platform operates: free access, paid memberships, optional advertising, or a combination that fits your audience.

Polls that are easy to create and share

Start with the homepage quick editor or use the full builder for more control. Create single-choice or multiple-choice questions, add descriptions, choose voting protection, and decide who can see the results. Set a voting deadline, enable comments, or protect a poll with a password. Votes and result bars update in place while viewers stay on the same page. Public discovery helps visitors find open polls, while member dashboards keep their own questions and results organized.

Your plans, prices, and limits

Offer monthly access periods and discounted yearly access through Stripe Checkout and PayPal. Edit the price, duration, feature permissions, active-poll allowance, answer limits, vote limits, invitation quotas, and workspace seats for each plan. You can also offer a manual payment method with your own instructions. Members receive a unique payment reference; an administrator confirms receipt before activating access. Prefer a completely free platform? Turn off paid memberships and choose the feature set available to everyone. Advertising has its own global switch and individual header, poll, and footer placements.

Built for the way you work

Give polls their own cover images, custom links, colors, logos, and selected card styling. Share live result embeds, export result totals to CSV, send email invitations, and connect vote events to a public HTTPS endpoint with signed webhooks. Shared workspaces support owner, editor, and viewer roles. The administration panel brings together memberships, payments, content, public interface translations, email templates, SMTP, SEO, support tickets, advertisements, moderation, and activity records.

Straightforward installation

Upload the files, create an empty MySQL or MariaDB database, and follow the installation wizard. The installer checks server requirements, creates the application tables, and locks after setup. No Node.js build or Composer installation is needed on your hosting account.
