Using our white label allows you to set your own short domain and link it to our system to create dynamic QR codes and track their data. When a user scans they will see qr1.be/GJFL. If you use your own domain, they would then see qr.yourdomain.com/GJFL. What you need to do is to link your sub-domain with our servers, so you can still track data with our system.
To set up your own domain, follow these steps:
Step 1: First, go to the service center or Cpanel of “the hosting of your domain” ( =where you bought your domain name)
Step 2: Create a sub-domain such as “qr.yourdomain.tld” (.tld stands for your domain extension as .com, .org, .net, .fr, .cn, ….. ) so make sure to put the correct extension of your domain. Example: qr.giftlips.com
We automatically set up SSL for the subdomain so you don’t need to set it up on your end. If you add your own SSL certificate, your short URL will not work.
Step 3: Update the DNS settings of this sub-domain. Set type to “CNAME” and place “qr1.be” in the CNAME value.
Or add a new CNAME record and delete the old A record.
Step 4: Once that’s set up, log in to our software and go to your “Account” on QRtiger. You can find your “account” by clicking on your name in the upper right corner.
Step 5: Choose the “Your own domain” option from the menu above.
Step 6: Enter your sub-domain (such as “qr.yourdomain.tld”) in the short URL field and verify.
Note that it may take up to 24 hours before all worldwide DNS servers are updated and for our system to recognize the changes.
We automatically add https:// prefix to the domain you entered, so there is no need to add https:// in the box.
We add the SSL to the subdomain to make this work, so there is no need for you to setup SSL on your end. If you add your own SSL certificate, your short URL will not work.
If you encounter any difficulties or have any queries setting up your own short URL domain, please get in touch with your IT or hosting company.
