By default, Alguna serves your hosted pages on a subdomain that is based on the organization slug you have configured in your settings. For example:
https://waystar.alguna.app/checkout/TZbLkouDnbbPtJhPWC1...
Adding a custom domain allows you to keep a consistent experience for your customers by keeping them on your domain. For example:
https://buy.waystar.com/checkout/TZbLkouDnbbPtJhPWC1...
Adding a custom domain
To point your custom domain to our service, you need to add a CNAME record in your DNS provider’s settings pointing to domains.alguna.io, where <subdomain> is replaced
by your desired subdomain.
| Type | Host | Value | TTL |
|---|
| CNAME | <subdomain> | domains.alguna.io | 30 mins |
We recommend setting a TTL (Time-To-Live) of 30 minutes for the CNAME record.
Ensure you do not have conflicting records (like A records) for the same
subdomains.
Example
Following the example above, for buy.waystar.com we’d add a CNAME record for buy on waystar.com
| Type | Host | Value | TTL |
|---|
| CNAME | buy | domains.alguna.io | 30 mins |
Share the custom domain
Once that’s done, you can share the custom domain with Alguna. We will now set up your domain and issue SSL certificates to serve traffic through.
