Custom domains

Print your own domain on your codes, like go.yourbrand.com/AbC1234, instead of qrvow.com. Scans still get safety checks, smart rules, pages and stats. Your qrvow.com links keep working at the same time.

Before you start

  • Use a subdomain you own, such as go., qr. or scan.. Bare domains (yourbrand.com) can't be used, because they can't point elsewhere with a CNAME.
  • You'll need access to where your domain's DNS is managed (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Route 53, Namecheap, Hostinger…).

Steps

  1. On My codes → Custom domains, type your subdomain and choose Connect domain.
  2. Record 1 (proves it's yours): add the CNAME record shown, exactly as shown. Keep it forever; it renews the free security certificate every year.
  3. Wait for our email (usually 5–30 minutes after you add it). The dashboard then shows a second record.
  4. Record 2 (sends scans to QRVow): add a CNAME for your subdomain pointing at the value shown (it ends in cloudfront.net).
  5. Within about 15 minutes the status turns Live and we email you. On any code, pick your domain under Printed link and download the QR.

Provider tips

  • GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger: in the Name/Host box, enter only the part before your domain (for record 2 that's just go; for record 1, everything before .yourbrand.com).
  • Cloudflare: set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud) for both records. The orange cloud stops the certificate from being issued.
  • Route 53: paste the full names as shown; choose record type CNAME; TTL 300 is fine.
  • DNS changes can take up to an hour to spread. We keep checking every 10 minutes.

Good to know

  • Only your codes work on your domain. Anyone else's code ID shows "this code doesn't exist" there.
  • Up to 5 domains per account. Removing one stops scans on it right away (codes printed with that domain stop working), so we ask you to confirm; your qrvow.com links are unaffected.
  • Like your codes, a live domain keeps working if you later change plan.

Other QR apps switch your codes off when you stop paying. We made a vow not to.
