Connect your domain (DNS records)

The DNS records to add for your site and its e-mail, how to check them, and the Cloudflare settings that matter.

  1. Find your records

    Open your site under My sites and scroll to DNS records. Each row shows the Type, Name (host), Value and Status, with a Copy button. Add them where your domain's DNS is managed — at your registrar or at Cloudflare.

    The DNS records table on a site's page with Type, Name (host), Value and Status columns, Copy buttons and the Check DNS button.
  2. The records for your site

    • TXT _bpf-verify with the value bpf-verify=… shown on the page — proves you own the domain. Required.
    • A records for @, api and admin, pointing at our server (and AAAA records too, if they are shown). Required.
    • CNAME www pointing at your domain — optional.

    Your site runs on your domain, its API on api. and its admin panel on admin. your domain.

  3. Your site's e-mail

    Your site sends its e-mails (sign-up, orders, payouts, notifications) through a mail provider you connect. When your site is up, open its admin panel, go to Emails → Settings, choose your provider (SMTP, Mailerino, Elastic Email or MailerLite), enter its details and send a test e-mail.

    Then add the SPF and DKIM records your mail provider gives you (and optionally DMARC) to your domain, so your e-mails reach the inbox.

    A domain can have only one SPF record: if you already have one (for your own mailbox), merge your mail provider's value into it instead of adding a second one.

  4. Check your records

    Click Check DNS. Each record shows Found or Not found yet. New records can take a few hours to be seen everywhere, so check again later; you can check at most once a minute.

    We can approve your request once the ownership TXT record is found and @, api and admin point at our server.

  5. Using Cloudflare

    • Keep api and admin on DNS only (grey cloud). Your site and www may be proxied (orange cloud).
    • If your domain goes through Cloudflare's proxy, turn off Email Obfuscation and Rocket Loader.
    • Set SSL/TLS to Full (strict) only after your site's certificate has been issued.
