# Custom Domain

> Configure a custom domain for Cashfree payment links so customers see your branded URL instead of the default Cashfree domain when paying invoices and orders.

Brand your payment experience by using your own domain for payment pages instead of Cashfree's default URL.

How It Works?

Transform your payment URL from:

`https://payments.cashfree.com/yourpage` to `https://your-website.com/pay`

This helps you maintain brand consistency and build customer trust with a seamless user experience.

Before you start accepting payments, you need to prove you own the domain. This CNAME record:

* Verifies your domain ownership
* Allows Cashfree to issue an SSL certificate
* Enables secure HTTPS connections

## Setup steps

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Add Main CNAME Record">
    Update CNAME entry to point your custom subdomain to Cashfree's servers. This routes payment traffic to Cashfree's infrastructure.

    ```
    Your subdomain: pay.yourwebsite.com
    Name: pay
    Target: tf-lb-20240305135606644700000001-442215710.ap-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Add SSL Verification CNAME Record">
    Add this record to enable HTTPS:

    ```
    Name: _2246c8630409cf6021133086afba7e89.pay
    Target: _2a65ff2f36643d8fdc502f0e1753c21e.djqtsrsxkq.acm-validations.aws
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

That's it! Your customers now see your domain throughout the entire payment process.
