How do I create ShopQuotes on my own domain?

ShopQuotes are designed to be shared from a subdomain of your brand domain. Ex. quotes.yourdomain.com. In order to set up your ShopQuotes to appear on your domain follow to the corresponding steps below.


Items Required For Setup


  • Access to edit the DNS records of your domain name via your domain provider
  • A basic understanding of DNS records

Step By Step Instructions


  1. Navigate to Settings > Domains & Emails and click "Add Domain"


Add A Domain


  1. Enter your desired domain name. We recommend using a subdomain such as "quotes.yourdomain.com" or "quote.yourdomain.com", but it can be any subdomain you desire or a new domain name altogether. Click "Add"


Add A Domain


  1. You'll now be presented with the DNS record values to enter into your domain name provider settings


DNS Record Values


Navigate to your domain provider and edit the DNS records for your domain name. Add a new cname record.


Under Name (otherwise referred to as Host or Type by domain providers) enter the Name shown in the ShopQuotes app. Some domain providers may require that you enter the full subdomain with the domain name included. For example, if your Name is "quotes" you may be required to enter "quotes.yourdomain.com".


Under Value (otherwise referred to as Value or Data) enter the Value shown in the ShopQuotes app. If required to enter a TTL setting, you can choose 1 hour.


Your Value will be different than the one shown in the images above and below. Ensure you are using the Value shown in your ShopQuotes Domain Settings.


In your domain provider, Click Save or Update to add the cname record.


DNS Records


Allow 15-20 minutes for your domain provider to propagate the changes. In some cases, your domain provider may take a few hours to fully update and point to our servers. Your ShopQuotes will continue to work normally with the default, or previously added domain, during this time.


  1. After waiting 15-20 minutes, navigate back to Settings > Domains & Emails. With the domain you added, click "Verify Domain"


Verify Domain

Your domain will now begin the verification process. In the meantime, your domain may have a status of "Verifying" with a spinning wheel. This is normal. Feel free to periodically refresh the page until your domain shows "Verified."


Verifying Status


  1. Now that your domain is Verified, you'll see a button "Set as primary." Click this button to set the domain as your primary domain and to activate it for use across all of your ShopQuotes.


Set As Primary

Once this is complete, you will see that the domain now has the "Verified" and "Primary" status. Your ShopQuotes will now be shareable using this domain.
