Custom Domains for Creator Storefronts

Why custom domains matter for creator storefront platforms

The whole point of a creator economy product is that the creator IS the brand. Your platform is invisible. Custom domains finish the job: store.acme.com isn't "on your platform," it just is.

What your users get

• Storefront on the creator's own domain
• Apex domain support (acme.com works, not just store.acme.com)
• Domain stays free forever on the Domainee free tier

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (store.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your creator storefront platform POSTs to the Domainee API to register it and gets back the CNAME the user needs to add at their DNS provider.
3. We monitor DNS, issue the cert via Let's Encrypt, and webhook back when it's live. Usually about 60 seconds.

The code

curl -X POST https://api.domainee.dev/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOMAINEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hostname": "store.acme.com",
    "originUrl": "https://app.your-saas.com",
    "mode": "proxy",
    "redirectWww": true,
    "metadata": { "workspaceId": "your-internal-id" }
  }'

The response includes a dnsRecords array (usually one CNAME). Show that to your user, tell them to paste it at their DNS provider, and we'll handle the rest.
