How to customize your affiliate portal link

Put your affiliate portal on your own subdomain so partners sign in on an address that carries your brand.

The default portal link

Open Settings → Affiliate → General and find the Affiliate - portal domain customization card. The link combines the shared portal domain with your store’s unique subpath:

https://<portal-domain>/<your-subpath>

The subpath is always present, so affiliates can reach your portal even before you set up a custom domain. To change it, edit Customize portal’s subpath in the same Settings → Affiliate → General section. Bloop checks availability as you type and refuses a subpath another store already uses.

The portal domain card is read-only, so you cannot type a new domain into it.

Note

The affiliate portal card is hidden only on the oldest legacy plan tier. On every other plan you see it, but customizing the domain needs a paid plan. If you can’t see the card, check your plan on the Pricing plans page.

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 customization 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. If you also want the www. version to work, add the same record for it.

4. Send support your chosen URL. Bloop verifies the DNS and activates it.

Warning

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.
• GoDaddy: leave TTL at the default. Help.

Once active, 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 needs a higher paid plan. If you move to a plan without it, Bloop removes your portal domain and the portal falls back to the shared domain. Upgrading again does not restore it: contact support to set it up again.
