How to Create Custom Domain

Taxaroo allows you to create a unique branded domain. Custom domains, also known as vanity URLs, appear in the address bar at the top of every browser.

Important: Before setting up your custom domain, please go to your domain management portal (for example, GoDaddy) and make sure to turn off your privacy.

How to Create A Custom Domain

Step 2: Select the settings module and click on-site branding

Step 3: Check the box next to the custom domain

Step 4: Type the subdomain and domain in the required fields and click the save icon (example: subdomain: clients domain: taxaroo.com)

Step 5: An email will be triggered and sent to the technical contact on your domain registration (ex on Godaddy or Network Solutions, etc.). You must approve the SSL certificate of your white-labeled client interview portal to work properly on the subdomain of your domain name. Please click the link in that email to approve this to complete your custom domain setup.
