Your own domain

The ordering page on your own address (e.g. order.your-shop.gr), with https automatically. Old links and QR codes keep working.

In Online → Your own domain (needs the Online ordering & QR add-on).

  1. In Domain type the address without https:// and without /. We suggest a subdomain (order.… or menu.…), so your website stays as it is. Press Save.
  2. Under DNS record the page shows two records. Add them at your domain provider (e.g. Papaki, Dnhost, Cloudflare, or your hosting):
    • for a subdomain a CNAME record, for the bare domain an A record (and the same for www),
    • a TXT record with the verification code. It proves the domain is yours; without it the domain is not switched on.
  3. Wait. DNS changes take from a few minutes to a few hours. We check automatically every 10 minutes, or press Check now.

Status: "Waiting for the DNS record" → "DNS is right. We are getting the security certificate (https)" → "Active". The certificate is made by itself; if it fails, we try again automatically.

Careful with the bare domain: if there is already an A record for your website, only change it if you no longer want that website.

Old links and printed QR codes keep working and go to the new domain by themselves.

Google and AI assistants: with the domain active and Show on Google and AI assistants on (Online ordering → Google & AI), your domain has its own /sitemap.xml (with every menu language and the booking page, if you take bookings online) and /llms.txt with the store's details, hours and frequent questions. The domain's robots.txt points to them.

Button for your website: copy the code into your website (e.g. an HTML block in WordPress) for an "Order online" button.

Remove domain: your page goes back to our address.
