By default, your Pocketsflow pages live on a pocketsflow.com subdomain, such as:
  • https://yourname.pocketsflow.com
  • Product or checkout URLs like https://pocketsflow.com/checkout/...
With custom domains you can map your own domain (for example, https://yourdomain.com or https://shop.yourdomain.com) to your Pocketsflow storefront for a fully branded experience.

​
What you can map

Depending on your configuration, you can point a custom domain to:
  • Your Link in bio — turning it into a branded home page for your products and newsletter.
  • A storefront or landing page that lists multiple products.
  • In some setups, an individual product or funnel, if supported.
Your original *.pocketsflow.com URLs keep working as fallbacks even after you add a custom domain.

​
Requirements

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • A domain you control (from Cloudflare, Google Domains, Namecheap, or similar).
  • Access to the domain’s DNS settings.
  • A clear idea of how you’ll use it:
    • Root domain (yourdomain.com), or
    • Subdomain (shop.yourdomain.com, courses.yourdomain.com, etc.).
If you already run a full website on the domain (a separate marketing site), it’s usually safer to connect a subdomain like shop. or links. rather than the root, so you don’t disturb your existing site.

​
Step 1 – Add the domain in Pocketsflow

1

Open domain settings

Open the area where you manage domains or site settings (for example, from Link in bio or a dedicated Domains section).
2

Add your domain

Add the domain you want to connect, such as shop.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com.
3

Choose the target

Choose what the domain should point to — typically your Link in bio.
After you save, Pocketsflow shows you the exact CNAME record(s) to create. Pocketsflow uses CNAME records that point at api.pocketsflow.com.

​
Step 2 – Configure DNS with your provider

Sign in to your DNS provider and add the records exactly as shown in the dashboard. The pattern is:
For shop.yourdomain.com, add one CNAME record:
Set the TTL to 3600 (or your provider’s default), and always follow the exact values displayed in the dashboard.

​
Step 3 – Verify and wait for propagation

1

Return to Pocketsflow

Go back to the domain settings.
2

Check status

Use the Verify or Check status button, if available.
3

Wait for propagation

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 24–48 hours to propagate fully.
When the domain is verified:
  • Pocketsflow finishes setting up SSL so your site is served over HTTPS.
  • Visitors can safely use the new domain (for example, https://shop.yourdomain.com).
Until verification completes, keep sharing your original pocketsflow.com URLs.

​
Changing or removing a domain

1

Open domain settings

Return to the same domain settings area in Pocketsflow.
2

Update or remove

Change which page the domain points to (for example, move it from an old product to your Link in bio), or remove the connection.
3

Clean up DNS

Optionally remove related DNS records at your provider if you’re no longer using them.
Changing or removing a domain can break previously shared links. Plan redirects or announcements before making big changes so you don’t lose traffic mid-campaign.

​
Common questions

In many setups you can connect more than one domain or subdomain — for example yourdomain.com → Link in bio and courses.yourdomain.com → a specific product hub. Check the dashboard for any limits on your account.
Custom domains for web pages are separate from sending domains used for email. If you configure a sending domain for your newsletter in Email settings, add its records (for example TXT/CNAME for SPF/DKIM) in addition to the CNAMEs here. See Newsletter, posts & subscribers.
Usually DNS hasn’t propagated yet, or a record doesn’t exactly match. Confirm the host and target are copied exactly, that there’s no conflicting existing record on the same host, and (for the root) that your provider supports CNAME flattening. Give it up to 24–48 hours and re-check.
Most creators point ads, social bios, and long-term branded links at their Link in bio on a custom domain, and use direct product or checkout links in specific campaigns where the context is already clear.
