One of the critical characteristics of Vendo-powered marketplaces is their customizability. One of the many features of Vendo is the ability to use a custom domain for your marketplace.

Steps to connect a custom domain to the admin dashboard:

Purchase your custom domain (if needed)

Purchase your domain name from a domain registrar.

Add the domain to the Vendo admin dashboard

Vendo uses Entri for easy and quick integration of custom domains.

  1. Log into your Vendo account and navigate to Settings -> Domains

  2. Click Setup Domain to start setup.

3. In the popup, provide your domain or subdomain and click Proceed.

4. Entri modal will appear. Select Continue.

5. Entri will begin analysing your domain. Once everything goes well, you will see a modal like this:

6. The modal will reload. Entri will now add DNS records to your domain. You must authorise this action in your DNS provider first. In this example, the DNS provider is GoDaddy, so the modal looks as follows:

You can view which records will be added by clicking on see what records will be added.

Follow the instructions displayed in the modal or on your DNS provider's website.

7. Once all necessary actions are performed, the modal should display the following message:

Click Done to finish the setup.

8. The domain should appear in the custom domains list.

DNS providers not supported by Entri

While highly unlikely, we would also like to point out a case where you use a DNS provider that does not support Entri's automatic DNS configuration.

In this case, the records will have to be added manually.

The process will be similar to the one shown above, but instead of an authorisation prompt, the modal will update to the following:

Follow the instructions. You can simply copy the values using the Copy buttons.

Once you are finished, tick the I have added the records above to my domain tickbox and click Continue. Modal will also inform you about the finished process, and the domain should appear in the Custom domains list.
