Custom Domain | Help - Zoho Bookings

Custom Domain

Super admins and admins can view and edit this information. Managers can only view this information. Staff will not have access to this information.


If you already own a domain for your business, you can attach the booking page to your domain. For example, if you own a domain called "mydomain.com," then you can specify a subdomain and have a booking page URL in the format <subdomain>.mydomain.com.

 

Scenario:
            Kevin runs a business called Zylker Consultations, his website's domain name is zylkerconsultations.com. He needs the bookings page to be added to his website so that the customer get better branding feel. With custom domain mapping, he can host his bookings in bookings.zylkerconsultations and his customers can make bookings in bookings.zylkerconsultations.com.    

To set up a custom domain

  1. Click the Settings icon and choose General.

  2. Click Booking page URL from the sidebar.

  3. Enter the preferred URL (your domain name along with a preferred subdomain, e.g., bookings.zylkerconsultations.com. Here bookings is the subdomain and zylkerconsultations is the domain.) in the Custom Domain textbox and click Launch. By doing this, you are creating a subdomain in your already existing domain.

 

 

Once you click Launch, the below steps will be shown.

Step 1: Add a CNAME in your DNS manager.

Step 2: Add CName/TXT/File in your DNS manager.
