The link shown combines the shared portal domain with your store's unique subpath: ``` https:/// ``` The subpath is fixed per store and always present, so affiliates can reach your portal even before you set up a custom domain. The card is read-only — you cannot type a new domain directly into it. > The affiliate portal card only appears on plans that include the affiliate program. On the legacy plan tier it is hidden entirely. ### Use your own portal domain Replace the shared portal domain with a branded subdomain such as `partners.yourstore.com`. Setting one up is a guided request: you add a DNS record, and Bloop activates the domain. 1. On the **Affiliate portal domain** card, select **Customize**. 2. Contact support for the IP address of the Bloop portal service (we share it privately). 3. In your DNS provider, add an **A record** pointing your subdomain to that IP — plus a matching record for its `www.` version. 4. Send support your chosen URL. Bloop verifies the DNS and activates it. > **Use a subdomain, not your root domain.** Repointing the root `@` record on a domain that hosts your live store can take the storefront offline. Use a subdomain like `partners`, or register a domain separate from your store's. Provider-specific fields, all using record type **A** with your subdomain as the **Name**: * **Shopify** — put the IP in the **Points to** field. * **Cloudflare** — set **Proxy status** to **Proxied**. [Setup video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70P_w_T6Yvg). * **GoDaddy** — leave **TTL** at the default. [Help](https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-a-subdomain-4080). Once active, the domain is saved as your `custom_portal_url` and affiliates reach the portal at your branded address, with your subpath still underneath — for example `https://partners.yourstore.com/your-subpath`. A custom portal domain requires a higher paid plan; if you downgrade, the portal falls back to the shared domain. ### Related * [Affiliate portal branding](/affiliate-program/branding/portal-guide.md) — customize the look of the portal pages. * [Getting started with affiliates](/quick-start/getting-started-1.md) — program overview and onboarding. * [General settings](/account-and-settings/general.md) — overview of every store-level setting. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.bloop.plus/account-and-settings/portal-link.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
