In this documentation, we’ll find out how the admin can customize the seller login URL/seller subdomain for Multi-Vendor Marketplace App for Shopify.
Steps to customize seller login URL:
- Log in to your web hosting service. Here, we’ll take an example of GoDaddy.
After login, go to My Products section and then click on DNS as shown in the image below.
- You need to create a C-Name and map to this URL store-name.sp-seller.webkul.com (example: multivendor-marketplace.sp-seller.webkul.com)
Like your Shopify store URL is xyz.myshopify.com then you need to create CName entry as mentioned below:
HOST: seller
Points to: xyz.sp-seller.webkul.com
TTL: 1 hour
Now, once this is done, the URL won’t work instantly. You need to inform us. We will make the edits from our end and then it will start working.
In case you are unable to do so, you can provide us the hosting login details like GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc. and we will do it for you.
