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.

​
What you can map

Depending on your configuration, you can typically 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 continue to work as backups even after you add a custom domain.

​
Requirements

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • A domain you control (for example, purchased via Cloudflare, Google Domains, Namecheap, or similar).
  • Access to the domain’s DNS settings.
  • A clear idea of how you want to use the domain:
    • Root domain (yourdomain.com), or
    • Subdomain (shop.yourdomain.com, courses.yourdomain.com, etc.).
If you already have a full website on the domain (for example, a separate marketing site), it’s usually safer to connect a subdomain rather than the root.

​
Step 1 – Add the domain in Pocketsflow

In the Pocketsflow app:
  1. Open the area where you manage domains or site settings (for example, from the Link in bio or a dedicated Domains section).
  2. Add the domain you want to connect, such as shop.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com.
  3. Choose what the domain should point to, typically your Link in bio.
After you save, Pocketsflow will show 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

Next, sign in to your DNS provider and add the records exactly as shown in the Pocketsflow dashboard. The pattern is:
  • Subdomain (for example, shop.yourdomain.com)
    Add one CNAME record:
    • Name/host: the subdomain (for example, shop)
    • Value/target: api.pocketsflow.com
  • Root domain (for example, yourdomain.com)
    Add two CNAME records so both the root and www work:
    • @ → api.pocketsflow.com
    • www → api.pocketsflow.com
    Some providers don’t allow a CNAME on the root (@). If yours doesn’t, use its CNAME flattening / ALIAS / ANAME feature pointing at api.pocketsflow.com, or connect a subdomain instead.
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

Once your DNS records are saved:
  1. Return to the Pocketsflow domain settings.
  2. Use the Verify or Check status button, if available.
  3. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate.
When the domain is verified:
  • Pocketsflow will finish setting up SSL so your site is available over HTTPS.
  • Your visitors can safely use the new domain (for example, https://shop.yourdomain.com).
Until verification is complete, continue sharing your original pocketsflow.com URLs.

​
Changing or removing a domain

If you need to update or remove a custom domain later:
  1. Open the same domain settings area in Pocketsflow.
  2. Either:
    • Change which page the domain points to (for example, move from an old product to your Link in bio), or
    • Remove the domain connection.
  3. Optionally clean up related DNS records at your provider if you’re no longer using them.
Remember that changing or removing a domain can break previously shared links—plan redirects or announcements when making big changes.

​
Common questions

​
Can I use multiple domains?

In many setups you can connect more than one domain or subdomain, for example:
  • yourdomain.com → Link in bio.
  • courses.yourdomain.com → a specific course or product hub.
Check the Pocketsflow dashboard for any limits that apply to your account.

​
What about email deliverability?

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, follow the steps there (for example, adding TXT or CNAME records for SPF/DKIM) in addition to the records described in this guide. For more on email and newsletters, see Newsletter, posts & subscribers.

​
Where should I send traffic?

Most creators:
  • Point ads, social bios, and long-term branded links at their Link in bio on a custom domain.
  • Use direct product or checkout links in specific campaigns where the context is already clear.
This keeps your brand consistent while still letting you run focused promotions when needed.
