Add your custom domain

Updated July 2026 · 1 min read

Serve your tagging container from a subdomain you own — like tags.yourstore.com — so your tracking runs fully first-party. TagVolt issues and renews the SSL certificate for you automatically.

Before you start

  • A container created in your workspace (any plan).
  • Access to your domain's DNS settings — at your registrar or DNS provider.

Add the domain

  1. Open your container and go to the Domains tab, then click Add domain.
  2. Enter the subdomain you want to use — a dedicated one like tags.yourstore.com works best.
  3. TagVolt shows you the exact DNS record to create. Keep this screen open for the next step.

Point your DNS

At your DNS provider, create the record exactly as shown in the app:

DNS record — example
# type    host                  target
CNAME     tags.yourstore.com    your-container.tagvolt.io

DNS can take up to 48 hours to propagate, but it usually completes within minutes. TagVolt checks automatically — you don't need to refresh.

Verify it works

Back in the Domains tab, the status changes to Active once DNS resolves and the SSL certificate is issued. From that moment your container serves from your own subdomain.

Seeing Pending for a while? That's normal during propagation. If it lasts more than a few hours, check Domain stuck on Pending.
