Client Portals Setup

Client Portals Setup

I am a Zoho One user. I am trying to set up a Client Portal to a custom domain. However, it won't let me link it to the custom domain. 
I had a look in the Subscriptions and there is a 'CRM Portal Users Add-on'. Does this need to be purchased to allow Portals to be linked to custom modules?
Can anyone tell me what the CRM Portal Users Add-on does?
