With Partnero, you can connect a custom referral link domain for your tracking links. By default, your referral links will use your main program URL from the Program settings. However, you can customize it by adding a subdomain:
Default: yourdomain.com/xxxyyy Custom: subdomain.yourdomain.com/xxxyyy (e.g. refer.partnero.com/xxxyyy)
To customize your referral links’ domain:
  1. Go to Settings under Program, and scroll down to the Advanced links section.
  2. Click Connect next to Custom links:
  3. Enter the URL of the domain you’d like to connect and click Next.
  4. A Domain Verification window will appear with a CNAME record. Go to the DNS page of your domain management platform and create a CNAME record with the values of the NAME and CONTENT fields:
  5. Once the records have been correctly set up with their respective Name and Value fields, enable the “ I have added DNS records” toggle and click Check DNS records:
Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your DNS settings to become active worldwide, depending on your hosting provider.

How to access the DNS settings of your domain

Note: The following steps have to be completed on the DNS settings of your domain, on your hosting service provider. For assistance with these steps, we recommend contacting your hosting provider.
  1. Log in to your domain provider (usually your hosting provider).
  2. Find the DNS settings for your domain. You can find instructions on doing this by searching “DNS settings” + your hosting provider’s name on any search engine (such as Google).
  3. Create a DNS record with the CNAME type and fill in the Name and Value fields provided in your Partnero account.
Remember that hosting providers may refer to the Name and Value TXTs differently. They can be referred to as:
  • Name and Host
  • Domain and Value
  • Domain and Host
In some cases, the CNAME record is also called the Domain Alias record.
