Custom domains let you serve your Fungies store from your own domain (e.g., store.yourgame.com) instead of the default Fungies subdomain.

​
Benefits

  • Brand consistency - Keep customers on your domain throughout the purchase flow
  • Trust - Customers feel more confident buying from a domain they recognize
  • SEO - Build domain authority for your own properties

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
Access to your domain’s DNS settings (through your registrar or DNS provider)
A domain or subdomain you want to use (e.g., store.yourdomain.com)

​
Setup Process

1

Enter your domain

Go to Settings → Domain in the Fungies Dashboard and enter your custom domain
2

Add DNS records

Add the provided DNS records to your domain’s DNS settings
3

Wait for validation

Fungies will automatically validate your domain and issue SSL certificates

​
Step 1: Enter Your Domain

  1. Go to Fungies Dashboard → Settings → Domain
  2. In the Custom domain section, enter your domain (e.g., store.yourgame.com)
  3. Click Submit to start the setup process
We recommend using a subdomain like store. or shop. rather than your root domain for easier DNS configuration.

​
Step 2: Add DNS Records

After submitting your domain, you’ll see a table of DNS records to add. There are typically three types:

​
Certificate Validation Record

This record proves you own the domain and allows AWS to issue an SSL certificate.

​
Hostname Validation Record

This record points your domain to the Fungies servers.

​
Certificate Renewal Record (DCV delegation)

This _acme-challenge CNAME delegates certificate control validation (DCV) to Fungies. Once it’s in place, Fungies handles both the initial SSL issuance and automatic renewal on your behalf — you don’t need to add or manage any other certificate record for this domain.
Add the _acme-challenge record as a CNAME exactly as shown. Do not also add a _acme-challenge TXT record — a CNAME cannot coexist with another record type at the same name (RFC 1034/2181), and the extra TXT will block validation and renewal.
Manual TXT fallback: if the Dashboard shows a _acme-challenge TXT record instead of the delegation CNAME, DCV delegation isn’t available for your setup. In that case add the TXT record as shown and do not add the _acme-challenge CNAME. The Dashboard only ever asks for one of the two.
If you’re using Cloudflare, make sure the Proxy toggle is set to OFF (DNS only, grey cloud) for all records. Proxied records will prevent validation.

​
Step 3: Wait for Validation

The setup status shows three stages:
DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate globally, though most complete within 30 minutes. Click Refresh in the Dashboard to check the current status.

​
Root Domain Setup (Apex Domains)

If you want to use a root domain (e.g., yourgame.com without www or any subdomain), additional configuration is required.
Root domains require CNAME flattening or ALIAS/ANAME record support, which is only available on certain DNS providers like Cloudflare, Namecheap, DNSimple, and some others.
We strongly recommend one of these options:
  1. Use a subdomain - Set up www.yourdomain.com or store.yourdomain.com instead
  2. Move DNS to Cloudflare - Migrate your DNS to Cloudflare for CNAME flattening support

​
Cloudflare Configuration

If using Cloudflare for a root domain:
  1. Add the CNAME record as provided
  2. Set the proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud)
  3. Cloudflare will automatically flatten the CNAME at the root

​
Troubleshooting

​
Certificate Validation Taking Too Long

If certificate validation is stuck for more than 30 minutes, you may need to add a CAA record: This authorizes Amazon (AWS) to issue certificates for your domain.
CAA records are typically only needed if you have existing CAA records that restrict certificate issuance. If you don’t have any CAA records, you probably don’t need to add one.

Removing a Custom Domain

To remove your custom domain and revert to the default Fungies subdomain:
  1. Go to Settings → Domain
  2. Click Delete next to your custom domain
  3. Confirm the action
The removal process takes up to 10 minutes. Your store will remain accessible via the default Fungies domain.
