What you get
Visitors reach your storefront on your own domain, such as book.yourbusiness.com, instead of your app.wemu.io address. Your app.wemu.io address keeps working too.
Before you start
- Pro Storefront (included during your free trial)
- A domain you own, and access to its DNS settings at your registrar or DNS provider
- You can add up to 3 custom domains
A subdomain such as book.yourbusiness.com or shop.yourbusiness.com is usually the easiest.
Set it up
📍
Navigate to: Settings → Storefront → General → Custom domain
- Type your domain and press Add domain
- Wemu shows two records to add at your DNS provider:
- A CNAME record named after your domain, pointing to app.wemu.io
- A TXT record named _wemu-verify. followed by your domain, with the value Wemu shows
- Save both records. Once they've spread (usually a few minutes), Wemu checks them automatically and sets up the SSL certificate. Press Check now to check straight away.
What the status means
- Waiting for DNS: Wemu can't see the records yet
- Setting up: your DNS is right and Wemu is finishing setup on its side
- Issuing SSL: the certificate is being issued
- Active: your storefront is live on your domain
- Failed: the reason shows under the domain. Fix it and press Retry
Root domains and Cloudflare
- On Cloudflare, set the CNAME to DNS only (grey cloud).
- For a root domain like yourbusiness.com, use an ALIAS or ANAME record if your provider offers one. Otherwise use a subdomain such as shop.yourbusiness.com.
Removing a domain
Press Remove next to it. The domain stops showing your storefront; delete the DNS records at your provider afterwards.
