Connect a branded hostname (for example shop.yourbrand.com or yourbrand.com) so buyers never see the default {subdomain}.joinmarkt.com URL.
Custom domains require a Premium or Business SaaS plan. Free stores stay on the Join Markt subdomain. See Plans & billing.

  • Access to DNS for that domain
  • Dashboard → Domains for your store

How Join Markt routes custom domains

Buyer traffic for custom hostnames is pointed at Join Markt’s store edge: Join Markt uses Cloudflare for SaaS so HTTPS certificates can be issued for arbitrary customer hostnames.

​
Step-by-step

​
1. Open Domains in the dashboard

  1. Sign in at dash.joinmarkt.com
  2. Select the store
  3. Go to Domains
  4. Click Connect / Add domain
  5. Enter the hostname (apex or subdomain)
The UI lists the exact DNS rows for your case (CNAME, ownership TXT, and any short-lived SSL verification records).

​
2. Add DNS at your provider

In Cloudflare (recommended) or your registrar DNS panel:
  1. Add the CNAME from the dashboard → Content stores.joinmarkt.com
  2. Set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud)
  3. Add the _markt-verify TXT exactly as shown
  4. Add any temporary Cloudflare ownership / ACME rows while status is pending
Conflicting apex A / CNAME records for the same host will block verification. Remove or rename conflicts first.

​
3. Optional: redirect www to apex

If you sell on yourbrand.com and want www.yourbrand.com to redirect:
  1. Create a proxied www record (Cloudflare Redirect Rule)
  2. Forward www.yourbrand.com/* → https://yourbrand.com/$1 with 301
Keep the store hostname’s traffic CNAME on stores.joinmarkt.com as DNS only.

​
4. Verify in Join Markt

  1. Return to Domains
  2. Click Verify
  3. Wait until status is active (DNS + Cloudflare hostname + SSL)
Propagation is usually minutes; worst case up to 24 hours.

​
5. Keep the subdomain as fallback

Leave {store}.joinmarkt.com active. It remains a reliable fallback while DNS or certificates catch up.

​
Vendor APIs (session required)

Requires seller session + manageSettings on the store.

Troubleshooting

​
Docs site custom domain

This documentation site can also live on docs.joinmarkt.com via Mintlify’s custom domain (separate from storefront domains). Point a CNAME at the value Mintlify shows in the dashboard — not at stores.joinmarkt.com.
