Custom Domains for Digital Product Sales

Why custom domains matter for digital product platforms

Buying a $40 template from shop.acme.com feels different than buying it from theirname.yourplatform.com. The creator looks more legitimate, ads attribute properly, and email links don't look like spam. The infrastructure used to be the only thing in the way.

What your users get

• Product pages live at the creator's domain
• Pixels and retargeting fire on the creator's domain
• Custom domain on every plan tier if you want it

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (shop.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your digital products 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": "shop.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.
