A custom domain for your page

Your checkout page on your own address: two DNS records and a few minutes of waiting.

Your page can open on your own subdomain, such as donate.mystream.tv. Viewers pay there just as on GoDonateMe.

How to connect

1. Dashboard → My page → Custom domain.
2. Enter the subdomain and save.
3. Add the two records the dashboard shows at your DNS provider:
   • CNAME to domains.godonate.me;
   • TXT for _godonateme.<your domain> with the value GoDonateMe-site-verification=….
4. Wait: DNS is checked first, then a certificate is issued — usually a few minutes.

Some DNS providers offer a "Connect in one click" button — the records are added for you.

If your DNS is on Cloudflare, turn proxying off for the CNAME: grey cloud, "DNS only". With the orange cloud the domain will not connect.

A subdomain (donate., www.) works best: a root domain via CNAME only works with providers that support CNAME flattening or ALIAS.

What changes

While the domain is live, godonate.me/<username> redirects Viewers to it. Unlink the domain and the redirect goes away at once.
