To display your Giftnote-powered gifting portal at a branded subdomain like gifts.yourbrand.com, follow these steps:
🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Log in to your DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, AWS Route53).
- Navigate to your domain’s DNS management settings.
- Add a new DNS record with the following details:
- Type: CNAME
- Name:
gifts(or any subdomain you prefer, e.g.,giftingorshop) - Target:
yourbrand.shop.giftnote.com(replaceyourbrandwith your assigned myshopify domain)
- Save the record and allow time for DNS propagation (usually within minutes, but can take up to 24 hours).
- Once active, your chosen subdomain (e.g., gifts.yourbrand.com) will automatically display your Giftnote storefront.
🔎 Notes
- This subdomain setup won’t affect your main website—it simply adds a separate branded experience for gifting.
- If you use Cloudflare, make sure the record is set to DNS-only (not proxied).
- If you're unsure how to do this, your IT team or DNS provider’s support can guide you.
