Use your own domain (carts.example.com)

5 min read

What you'll get

Instead of platform.golfcartos.io/your-slug, customers visit carts.example.com (or whatever you own) directly. The storefront looks identical.

Steps

  1. Buy or have ready the domain you want to use. We don't sell domains.

  2. In your DNS provider (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.), add this record:

    Type   Name              Value
    A      carts             137.184.64.178
    

    (Or replace the IP with whatever the platform's current IP is — we'll publish a stable hostname soon.)

  3. Admin → Settings → Domain (/your-slug/admin/domain).

  4. Enter your domain (carts.example.com) and click Verify.

  5. Wait 1-30 minutes for DNS propagation. The status flips to Verified when your domain points at us correctly.

  6. SSL is automatic — Let's Encrypt cert is provisioned within ~30 seconds of the first HTTPS request.

Apex (root) domains

If you want example.com (no carts. prefix), use a CNAME flattening or ALIAS record at your DNS provider. Cloudflare and Route 53 support this; some legacy registrars don't.

Troubleshooting

If verification fails:

  • Check that dig +short carts.example.com returns our IP from your terminal.
  • DNS caching can take up to 24h on rare providers.
  • Double-check the Name field — we want carts not carts.example.com.
