Partnership portal: adding a domain

You need to integrate your domain, which is configured the same way as a custom tracking domain, by creating a CNAME record. For the branded portal domain settings, your CNAME record should point to pub.redtrack.io.

In your domain registrar (in our case, it’s GoDaddy), go to DNS → DNS Records → Add New Record:

• Type: CNAME
• Name: use the subdomain you want for the partnership portal (e.g., portal, pub, or something else; it’s totally up to you). This will become part of your full branded portal URL (example: portal.yourdomain.com)
• Value: pub.redtrack.io
• TTL: choose the lowest option possible

Create a TXT record in your domain settings to make sure that your partners/publishers receive your emails.

In your domain registrar (in our case, it’s GoDaddy), go to DNS → DNS Records → Add New Record:

• Type: TXT
• Name: pub.redtrack.io
• Value: v=spf1 include:mail.redtrack.dev~all
• TTL: choose the lowest option possible

Once the CNAME and TXT records are added, add the custom tracking domain to RedTrack.

1. RedTrack → Partnership portal → Domains → Create new domain:

2. Fill in the mandatory fields → Save:

Fields explained:

(1) URL

(2) SSL certificate

In the URL field, you add the sub-domain you have just added to your registrar (example: mytracking.domain.com).

In the example ilona.redtrackfan.club:
– ilona is the name you put in your domain registrar in the field “Name”.
– redtrackfan.club is the domain you have purchased and for which you added the CNAME.

RedTrack provides free SSL certificates to all paid clients, allowing everything to be done in one click.

We are extra cautious about our service, so RedTrack generates certificates using open-source Let’s Encrypt technology, which claims to be free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA) run for the public’s benefit (it is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)).

However, you can decline the free SSL and purchase an SSL certificate yourself. Gogetssl is a good service for this purpose.

Free SSL certificate setup

All you need to do is enable the Free SSL toggle:

Once the certificate is due, press the Reissue button to update your SSL certificate:

You can reissue the certificate for 2 reasons:
– If the first one failed to issue for some reason.
– If your certificate is about to expire. In this case, you don’t need to wait till the very expiration day, but reissue the certificate in advance.

If, for some reason, the certificate issue persists, email [email protected].

Purchased SSL certificate setup

Once you’ve purchased an SSL certificate, you need to add this Certificate and its Key to the corresponding fields in the RT domain form:
