Tracknow offers the option to set a custom domain for all affiliate-related links such as their login page and their tracking links.
Why should I set a custom domain?
By default, the affiliate login page and affiliate tracking links will be on the Tracknow domain. By creating a custom domain, all affiliate links can be seen as if on your store’s domain.
For example:
My store’s homepage is: ‘https://beststore.com’.
| Type | Without custom domain | With custom domain |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate registration page | beststore.tracknow.io/registration | affiliates.beststore.com/registration |
| Affiliate portal login page | beststore.tracknow.io/login | affiliates.beststore.com/login |
| Affiliate tracking link | beststore-tracking.tracknow.info/click?campaign_id=1&ref_id=1 | affiliates.beststore.com/click?campaign_id=1&ref_id=1 |
How to set up a custom domain?
Log in to the service that is hosting your domain, where you manage your DNS records (i.e GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Google Domains).
The naming of the described fields may vary between different providers
- Navigate to the area where you manage your DNS records
- Create a new DNS record of the CNAME type
- On the ‘Name’ field enter the custom domain (i.e. affiliates.beststore.com)

- Save the record
- Log into your Tracknow dashboard and navigate to the ‘Settings’ page
- On the secondary menu select ‘Branding’
