Editing your Customer’s portal domain name in the URL

Click on “Edit Domain Name in URL” so you can integrate your customer portal with your own domain.

Note that :

  • You can fully white-label your customer portal URL and use your own website domain name www.yourdomain.com instead of using booking.octopuspro.com, making your business appear more professional while keeping customers under your own website domain name.
  • You must first decide whether you want to set your entire domain name to point to your customer portal, or whether you prefer to create a subdomain that points to your customer portal and then integrate it with your existing website. 
  • If you decide to redirect your website domain name www.yourdomain.com to your customer portal, you need to edit the DNS records of your domain name and create a CNAME that points to one of the following subdomains depending on your region, (us.octopuspro.com, eu.octopuspro.com, au.octopuspro.com).
  • If you decide to use a subdomain, like booking.yourdomain.com, or portal.yourdomain.com, you need to create a CNAME with any keyword you choose, and simply set that to point to either one of the three subdomains, based on your region (us.octopuspro.com, eu.octopuspro.com, au.octopuspro.com).

To edit the domain name in the URL it’s shown as the following
