Now Live: Custom Domain Support for All Marketplace Sellers

Your business should be able to grow under its own identity.

Every Pryseflow business can establish an online presence through its Pryseflow-powered webstore. By default, your store can operate using a Pryseflow subdomain, giving you a simple way to start selling online without first having to build or host a separate website.

When you are ready to strengthen your brand further, Pryseflow also supports custom domains, allowing customers to visit your store using your own branded web address.

Instead of:

yourbusiness.pryseflow.com

you can use a domain such as:

www.yourbusiness.com

or:

www.yourbusiness.co.za

Your store remains powered and managed through Pryseflow, while customers interact with your business through your own domain.

1. Why Use a Custom Domain?

A custom domain gives your online store a stronger independent brand identity.

It can help your business:

• Present a more professional online presence

• Make your website address easier to remember

• Promote one consistent brand across social media and marketing

• Share a cleaner link through WhatsApp, Instagram and other channels

• Build greater recognition around your own business name

Your Pryseflow store continues to provide the commerce infrastructure behind the site while your domain becomes the address customers recognise.

2. Start with a Pryseflow Subdomain

You do not need to purchase a domain before creating your online store.

Pryseflow provides businesses with a webstore address using a Pryseflow subdomain.

For example:

yourbusiness.pryseflow.com

This allows you to begin setting up your online presence, publishing products and sharing your store without waiting for a custom domain.

As your business grows, you can connect your own domain when you are ready.

3. Connect a Domain You Already Own

If you already own a domain, it can be connected to your Pryseflow online store.

Examples include:

• yourbusiness.com

• yourbusiness.co.za

• yourbusiness.africa

• Another supported domain registered for your business

Your domain remains registered with your domain provider. Pryseflow connects the domain to the online store you manage through the platform.

You may need access to your domain provider's DNS settings to complete the connection.

4. Getting a Domain Through Pryseflow

Eligible Pryseflow subscribers can also qualify for a free domain after their third subscription payment.

This provides growing businesses with another route to establishing their own branded web presence without needing to arrange the domain separately.

Eligibility and available domain options may depend on the applicable subscription and domain availability.

5. Connecting Your Domain

The exact settings displayed may depend on the current version of Pryseflow and your domain provider, but the general process is:

1. Make sure you own or control the domain you want to use.

2. Open your online-store or domain settings in Pryseflow.

3. Enter the domain you want to connect.

4. Follow the DNS instructions provided.

5. Update the required records through your domain registrar or hosting provider.

6. Return to Pryseflow and complete the verification process.

7. Allow time for the DNS changes to take effect.

DNS updates are controlled by domain providers and may not become active immediately.

Always use the DNS values displayed by Pryseflow during the connection process rather than relying on values copied from an old guide.

6. Your Store Remains Managed in Pryseflow

Connecting a custom domain does not create a separate website that needs to be managed elsewhere.

Your Pryseflow online store remains connected to the wider business environment.

You can continue managing areas such as:

• Products

• Pricing

• Product visibility

• Store pages

• Themes

• Orders

• Customers

• Inventory

• Online-store settings

The custom domain simply gives customers a branded address through which they can reach that store.

7. Use One Store Across Your Marketing

Once your custom domain is active, use it consistently wherever customers discover your business.

You can add it to:

• WhatsApp Business

• Instagram

• Facebook

• TikTok

• Email signatures

• Business cards

• Digital advertising

• QR codes

• Printed marketing material

This gives customers one recognisable destination for your business.

8. Custom Domain vs Marketplace

Your Pryseflow Marketplace presence and your Pryseflow online store serve different purposes.

The Marketplace helps customers discover businesses and products within the Pryseflow ecosystem.

Your online store gives your business its own branded digital storefront.

A custom domain applies to that branded online-store experience.

This means your business can benefit from marketplace discovery while also directing customers to its own website.

Common Questions

Do I need a custom domain to use my Pryseflow online store?

No.

You can use your Pryseflow-provided subdomain and connect a custom domain later.

Can I connect a domain I already own?

Yes.

If you control the domain and can update its DNS settings, you can connect it to your Pryseflow online store where custom-domain support is available.

Does Pryseflow build a separate website when I connect my domain?

No.

Your domain connects to the online store you already manage through Pryseflow.

You continue managing the store from your Pryseflow account.

Can I use a .co.za domain?

Yes, provided the domain is available to you and supported by your domain registrar and the Pryseflow domain connection process.

Do I still manage my products through Pryseflow?

Yes.

Connecting a custom domain does not change how your products, store pages, inventory and related online-store activity are managed.

Can Pryseflow provide my domain?

Eligible subscribers can qualify for a free domain after the third subscription payment, subject to the applicable terms and domain availability.

Build Your Brand on Your Own Domain

Pryseflow gives businesses a practical path from simply getting online to building a stronger branded digital presence.

You can start with a Pryseflow subdomain, build your store, add your products and begin selling.

When the business is ready, connect your own domain and give customers a web address that belongs to your brand.

Your domain. Your store. Your business.

Build. Sell. Grow with Pryseflow.

A few claims from the original should not go back into the Knowledge Base unless development confirms them: automatic Let’s Encrypt provisioning, specific CNAME/A record values, a dedicated IP, automatic canonical URLs, automatic 301 redirects, global edge delivery, DDoS architecture, and “all TLDs supported.” Those sound impressive, but documentation should describe what the live product can reliably guarantee.
