Setup custom domains A custom domain name can be used for payment links. This is your own domain name which is configured at Pesaswap side. For doing this, contact us and we will get it configured and give you a TLS certificate.

How to setup custom domain within your cloud

​
Identify your DNS provider

First, determine which service is handling your DNS records. This will guide you to the correct platform where you can log in and set up the new records. Your DNS provider may be the same as your domain registrar, but it’s possible they are different entities. If you’re unsure about your DNS provider, you can search for your domain’s nameservers using the following command, replacing “pesaswap.com” with your own domain:
You’ll see a list of name servers for your domain in the output.

​
Create required DNS records

In this segment, you’ll generate the necessary DNS records to link your domain. Follow the following steps to enable the same:

​
Step 1: Sign into your DNS provider

DNS providers offer a control panel where you can log in to manage your DNS settings. Locate your provider’s control panel page and sign in.

​
Step 2: Locate the page to manage the DNS for your domain

Now that you’ve successfully logged in, locate the section within your provider’s control panel where you can manage the DNS records for your domain.

​
Step 3: Create CNAME record

In your DNS control panel, create a new record that associates your chosen subdomain with ‘pesaswap payment link’. Your DNS provider will typically prompt you to specify the record type, name, value, and TTL (Time To Live) or expiration when adding a new record. Enter the following values and save the new DNS record:

​
Step 4: Create your TXT record

Navigate to your DNS control panel and proceed to add a new TXT record. This TXT record is essential for domain ownership verification. It’s a necessary step to obtain TLS certificates for your domain, ensuring secure payment processing. Enter these values and save the new DNS record:

​
Step 5: Verify your CNAME record setup

After you save your DNS record, verify that it has the correct values. Please allow up to 10 minutes for your DNS provider to update its name servers. Replace “pay.xyz.com” with your custom domain in the command below, and then run it in your terminal:
You should get an output like this:
Once you observe the output, proceed to the next step.

​
Step 6: Verify your TXT record

After you save your DNS record, verify that it has the correct values. Please allow up to 10 minutes for your DNS provider to update its nameservers. Replace pay.xyz.com with your custom domain in the following command and run it from your terminal:
You should get an output like this:
If you don’t observe your unique TXT record value in the output, please wait a little longer and then attempt running the command again. Upon completing this step, your DNS records will be configured. Now that you’ve established and verified your DNS records, Pesaswap proceeds to verify the connection and provision your domain on our end. You will receive an email from us once the domain is ready for you to enable it. To enable wallet flows such as Apple Pay or Google Pay for payment links, domain validation from Apple or Google is required respectively to obtain session tokens. This validation can be facilitated by utilizing the custom domain feature available for payment links, which can be configured at the business profile level. After you have setup custom domain in your cloud, you need to get respective Google Pay, Apple Pay certificate for your new domain, and register the same in our dashboard.
