# Custom Domain

Brand your payment experience by using your own domain for payment pages instead of Cashfree's default URL.

How It Works?

Transform your payment URL from:

`https://payments.cashfree.com/yourpage` to `https://your-website.com/pay`

This helps you maintain brand consistency and build customer trust with a seamless user experience.

Before you start accepting payments, you need to prove you own the domain. This CNAME record:

* Verifies your domain ownership
* Allows Cashfree to issue an SSL certificate
* Enables secure HTTPS connections

## Setup steps

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Add Main CNAME Record">
    Update CNAME entry to point your custom subdomain to Cashfree's servers. This routes payment traffic to Cashfree's infrastructure.

    ```
    Your subdomain: pay.yourwebsite.com
    Name: pay
    Target: tf-lb-20240305135606644700000001-442215710.ap-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Add SSL Verification CNAME Record">
    Add this record to enable HTTPS:

    ```
    Name: _2246c8630409cf6021133086afba7e89.pay
    Target: _2a65ff2f36643d8fdc502f0e1753c21e.djqtsrsxkq.acm-validations.aws
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

That's it! Your customers now see your domain throughout the entire payment process.
