If you use Privy’s landing pages, your landing page URLs will look like:
Customers on our Growth plan can use domain mapping so that the landing page appears on your own domain, like:
To configure custom domains, follow the below steps. Note that custom domains will not work until all steps are completed.
1- Add a DNS CNAME record for the custom domain
- Log into your domain’s DNS provider. Instructions vary based on where your site is hosted and/or the registrar for your domain name.
- Create a new CNAME record in your DNS entries.
- For the subdomain value, enter the subdomain you’d like to use for your landing page (e.g., “info“).
-
For the domain name value, enter {{your Privy account identifier here}}.privy.com. To locate your Privy account identifier, go to Business Settings > Privy Code within your Privy account:
- Save the new entry.
2 - Add the domain to your Privy account
Contact Privy support with your new custom domain name (e.g., “info.example.com“) to add it your account.
3 - Enable SSL
Your Privy landing pages must be served over SSL (HTTPS). You can enable this by providing Privy with an SSL certificate for your custom domain, or by using Cloudflare SSL proxying.
To use your own SSL Certificate:
Inform Privy of the FQDN you would like to secure from step 2. Privy will generate a CSR in exchange for a valid SSL certificate. Certificates should be for Nginx or Apache2x. If given an option between PKCS or X.509 format, please choose X.509. This process can take 24-48 hours to complete.
OR
Inform Privy of the FQDN you would like to secure from step 2. Provide Privy with a valid SSL certificate and matching private key to install for the FQDN. This process can take 24-48 hours.
To use Cloudflare SSL proxy
First, log into your Cloudflare account and navigate to the DNS section:
Ensure that your CNAME record from step 2 has proxying enabled, as indicated by the orange cloud.
In the crypto section, ensure that the SSL setting is "Full."
Alternatively, add a page rule for all pages in the subdomain to have an SSL setting of "Full."
