Create a custom domain for branded returns page with Cloudflare to boost post-purchase customer engagement and improve SEO ranking. Cloudflare is a website security company that provides DNS services amongst others.

Note that enabling SSL is mandatory due to the new Cloudflare policy. So, if you are already using a custom domain, make sure the SSL is activated at your end as well for uninterrupted and delightful experience. For the same, connect with our support team now :)

What do I put in as host value?



Let us suppose you wish to set the custom returns page URL as https://returns.xyz.com. So, the value of the host filed will be “returns”.


💻 Create CNAME entry



Make sure you use DNS only while setting up a CNAME.
Go to Cloudflare > Select Website > Select a domain from the drop-down menu on the top-left > DNS tab
Consider www.xyz.com as your website and enter details as follows

Host: @ (for example returns)

Points to: domains.myreturnscenter.com

TTL: Leave it unchanged

The custom domain will be- https://returns.xyz.com

Add record

It takes around 48 hours for the changes to take effect.
