BLAZE ECOM: Launching the Menu on a Subdomain

This article will explain what is needed to launch your BLAZE ECOM menu on a subdomain

Choosing the Subdomain

Typically, we suggest using shop as the subdomain for most retailers. 
However, feel free to discuss the subdomain with your Onboarding Manager, as other considerations can be made. 

www.shop.rootdomain.com

 

Confirm the Final Menu URL Slug

The URL slug (or pathname) is defaulted to menu and will suit the needs of most retailers. 

If your organization has multiple locations, using location names as the URL slug will help keep things organized.

Your Onboarding Manger will be happy to assist with understanding the use of URL slugs on your BLAZE ECOM menu.

www.shop.rootdomain.com/menu

www.shop.rootdomain.com/location1

www.shop.rootdomain.com/location2

 

Adding a CNAME Record to Your DNS Settings

It will be necessary for you to add a CNAME record to the DNS settings of your content management system (CMS) so that the subdomain can be connected to BLAZE ECOM. 

The steps to add the CNAME to your CMS will depend on which platform you use.  If you're unfamiliar with the process, a simple Google search will provide instructions or you can reach out to the support team of your CMS. 

DO NOT UPDATE EXISTING CNAME RECORDS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR I.T. TEAM OR WEB DEVELOPER

 

Add a new CNAME to your DNS using the following details:

Type: CNAME

Name: shop (or the chosen subdomain)

Value: tymber.netlifyglobalcdn.com

 

Your Onboarding Manager will then update the domain on your BLAZE ECOM Mission Control page and the menu will be live on that subdomain and pathname (URL slug)
