Custom Domain Setup

GoAffPro provides you with the option to set up a custom domain for your affiliate portal.
Custom Domain Setup
By setting up a custom domain, your affiliate program looks more professional. It also helps in promoting your brand.
When you install the GoAffPro app, your shop's affiliate portal is set up as per your store's name. For Example: If your store's name is Hello World, then your affiliate portal will be set up as helloworld.goaffpro.com.
You can change this to anyotherdomain.goaffpro.com from the Store Profile section in the Look and Feel tab in the GoAffPro admin panel. If however, you would like to set it under affiliates.yourdomain.com (i.e. under your domain) you need to do the following.
