Make a Custom Domain with a QR Code (White Label Feature)

Most dynamic QR code generators available online use their own link shortener. 

This means that if a user scans the QR code, they might often see first the domain of the QR code software that he is using.

With QR TIGER QR Code Generator, you can choose to add your own domain and use the software as your own known as white labeling. 

There are many different benefits to using your own domain:

A. Branding – QR code white labeling allows users to see your brand when they scan a QR code, this helps in your branding and marketing campaign, and it’s much easier for users to click on the URL.

B. Editable – You can still redirect the URL of your domain to any other URL yourself. Just go over to your QR TIGER QR code generator dashboard and update it. 

How to prepare your domain for white label

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 setup 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 the type to “CNAME” and place “qr1.be” in the CNAME value. 

Or add a new CNAME record and delete the old A record.

Note:

Your existing QR codes remains the same. Once you add your short domain, your new QR codes will have the domain.

Also note that if you delete a sub-domain, the QR codes that use that sub-domain might stop working.

Step 4: Set a default domain. Once done, make sure it has the green checkbox.

You can also assign a custom domain to a team member. On the Team, enter a Team name and add active team members. Team members can be an Admin, Editor, or Viewer.

Conclusion

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 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.
